Going way, way back to our Mid-Autumn Festival family celebration, Hitman and I had dinner with my parents and relatives at Suhang Restaurant. It was his first time for Shanghainese food. The draw for me was that my uncle had pre-ordered the Beggar’s Chicken and I was excited to see and try it. I hadn’t […]
On my recent trip to the States I visited the beloved Trader Joe’s again, as with all my trips down South. This time one of the products that caught my eye was the Trader Joe’s Thai “Dry” Chili Paste. As Hitman is a huge fan of Thai food, I thought I could make good use […]
On my last girl date with TDog, we made a trip down to Beaucoup Bakery & Cafe so TDog could try out their pastries too. A good thing about Beaucoup is that they come out with seasonal limited edition pastries to keep things interesting. This time around, to give us a taste of summer which […]
In my continued effort to find a Korean restaurant in the lower mainland that serves a Galbitang comparable to the one I had at New Seoul in the States, I’ve asked a Korean coworker for recommendations, and she suggested Wang Ga Ma in Coquitlam. Fannypack was once again my partner in crime. The Seafood Pancake […]
I prepared these adorable heart-shaped cinnamon rolls for dessert for our Valentine’s night dinner. As usual I found a super easy recipe online, this time from the Pillsbury website itself! Ingredients: All you need is a can of ready-to-bake cinnamon rolls. Make sure it’s the regular rolls not the mini ones, as reviews seem to […]
One time while driving down Kingsway I noticed the bright awning of Mui Ngo Gai. That led me to the website address they posted on their window. I thought it was interesting that a Vietnamese restaurant that’s not part of a chain would have a website setup. So I logged on to check them out. […]
A coworker asked me to post more recipes; I think it’s cuz she’s getting married soon and needs some simple home cooking recipes to feed her soon-to-be-hubby =) So here’s a simple lamb recipe for her to hopefully make one day to wow him! Hitman and I collaborated on our Valentine’s Day dinner. We decided […]
Update: This restaurant is closed. ORU at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel was the last stop for Dine Out Vancouver 2014. It coincided with Pretty Sis’ visit so it worked out perfectly as a venue for some much-needed and long overdue sister-talk. I’d never been to ORU before and I was very, very pleasantly surprised […]
T-Dog and I went to McDonald’s for morning break. We were super excited and ecstatic to see that they now offer whole grain McMuffins AND egg whites, which you can get in the form of an Egg White LT McMuffin sandwich. So of course we both ordered it. What a mistake.
Love is in the air!! For this Valentine season, DAVIDsTEA released a limited edition tea called Cherry Blossom. Now I’m a sucker for anything cherry blossom so of course I had to have it.
