Motomachi Shokudo is apparently opened by the same ramen chef that owns/opened Kintaro Ramen. This new restaurant is supposed to be the healthier alternative to the fatty pork fat based Kintaro Ramen. Here the chef uses only organic ingredients and the soup base is made from organic chicken rather than pork fat. As you can […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. I’m in a Vietnamese binge lately. Every day I crave pho. This is another restaurant that I frequent, but that was before I discovered Pho Thai Hoa. They are located in Continental Square (Centre? Plaza?) on Cambie in Richmond. Their previous location was in the little mall where Staples on No. […]
Update Feb 15, 2014: This restaurant has since shut down. This is officially my new favorite pho place. They are cheap, delicious, and their service is wonderful!! The location we went to is their second store, located in Richmond. It is in Union Square on Capstan Way, and the restaurant is at a corner across […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. This is a small HK-style dessert shop located on Westminster Highway where Kingspark restaurant is. I like this place because they have a few unusual yummy desserts, one such I am about to show you. The interior is quite small. There’s about 10 tables in total. It’s pretty brightly lit […]
Having heard good things about the lunch buffet at Saffron, I dragged Boyfriend out to Burnaby on a Monday afternoon to try it out. It was relatively easy to find, located on Kingsway. Once you step into the restaurant you are surrounded by the wonderful aroma of Indian cooking. There’s a bigger selection at this […]
We went out for a family dinner and the restaurant my mom chose was Seasons in the Park located in Queen Elizabeth Park (did you know that this park is actually situated on top of an extinct volcano??). My mom heard that it has a beautiful view so we decided to go and see. Indeed, […]
This was another souvenir my sister brought for me from Georgia. What it is is a cob of popcorn kernels that you stick straight into the microwave as is. It looks cool huh?
Update Oct 13, 2009: This shop has since closed down 🙁 Le Bonbon Cafe is my current favorite bakery to get cheesecake from. The owner bakes the cheesecakes herself and it is one of the most flavorful cheesecakes I’ve ever tasted, even better than Cheesecake, Etc. Boyfriend bought me three slices as a surprise. A […]
was in a moving car when taking this… On our last night in the states, my aunt and uncle took us out for dinner. The restaurant they chose was Buca di BEPPO which is supposedly quite popular, and it was. By 6:30pm the waiting area was packed with people. Good thing we had reservations. The […]
Boyfriend had always wanted to try Jack In The Box. He had a chance this time. They had a variety of special milkshakes during this time. If I remember correctly, there was Eggnog and Pumpkin Pie. I chose to get the Pumpkin Pie milkshake to try. It was VERY thick, like most fast food shakes. […]
