The Outback Steakhouse

Ever since I saw the picture of the Bloomin’ Onion on The Outback Steakhouse‘s menu in Hong Kong many years ago, I’ve always wanted to try it.  It just looked so pretty. Now many years after, I finally had the chance.  This was during another one of my trips down to the States. It was […]

+Alpha Izakaya Tapas Bar

Pretty Sis introduced me to +Alpha (UPDATE: now called Alpha Sushi Bar), another izakaya restaurant located in downtown Vancouver. I first thought that it’s probably a lesser known Japanese tapas restaurant due to the “monopoly” by Guu.  However, Pretty Sis says that this place gets busier the later it gets, so I guess this gem […]

Pho An Nam 安南餐廳

This is a gem that Boyfriend and I found out not too long ago.  As it’s not located in the central restaurant area of Richmond, we had always forgotten about it even though we’ve always wanted to try it. We now frequent this Vietnamese restaurant the most since it’s the one closest to us. An […]

r.tl – Foodie Night

Update Aug 3, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. So the invite turned out to be legitimate.  r.tl hosted a Foodie Night this past Tuesday to showcase their new menu.  I was quite surprised that my little blog was actually found and the organizer thought to invite me. r.tl is located near the edge of […]

New Seoul Restaurant

As much as I like the Korean restaurants here in the Lower Mainland, I’ve always found that in Washington where my aunt lives, there is better Korean (and Vietnamese) food.  (Chinese food is a different story…) New Seoul Restaurant is a Korean restaurant my aunt’s family frequent.  They had taken us there numerous times also, […]

Toratatsu Tapas Bistro 虎龍

Update: This restaurant has closed. Boyfriend and I had originally planned on going to Motomachi for ramen Wednesday night.  However, once we got there, we found out that it was closed on said day.  We were a bit disappointed, but at the same time I was excited because it finally gave us a chance to […]

Qoola Yogurt + Fruit on Denman

Update: Feb 15, 2014: This restaurant has since shut down. Qoola has already been reviewed by a lot of other blogs with great reviews.  I’ve been here once and this would be my second time.  What keeps me coming back is the Mochi topping they offer.  As I’ve stated before, I ♥ anything chewy!! The […]

Well Tea Sukiyaki Hotpot

Well Tea 茶井

Well Tea is one of our favorite Bubble Tea restaurants.  It’s either that or Pearl Castle.  Usually Well Tea wins because there’s a greater chance of being seated there. I really enjoy the mini hotpots at these restaurants.  I usually go for the Milk hotpot but this time I tried something different. This is the […]

Le Panier – Very French Bakery

I went down to Seattle with a co-worker for a one day trip since she had always wanted to go to The Crab Pot.  We were able to fit a lot of shopping into the day and when we arrived at The Crab Pot, it was a bit too early for dinner so we decided […]

Bubble Fruity 桂花林

I’m always on the lookout for a good Chinese-style dessert place. Boyfriend’s mom told me one day about a new place that opened up near the public market that does just that. Chinese-style desserts are hard to find here. Most of the time the only encounter you have is at a Chinese restaurant where they […]
