Negative Space 黑白香

Update May 2, 2011: This restaurant is now closed. It was dinner with Fannypack again today.  As usual, I had to pick the place to go to.  Having passed by Negative Space Chinese Restaurant at Pacific Plaza one day on my way to Berry Good, I chose that place. It is located right at the […]

S&W Pepper House 西南風 Richmond

Update Jan 23, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. Mom and I had dinner with Pretty Sister.  She was really into Szechuan foods lately and Mom found a new place to have it.  That would be S & W Pepper House located on No.3 Road. There were similarities in the dishes offered by S & […]

Vivacity 名都

Update: This restaurant has closed. SO like I said before, Vivacity Restaurant is my mom’s favorite dim sum place. This one Tuesday we were fortunate enough to be able to get a parking space in that hellhole parkade of theirs. Normally, it shouldn’t be that bad (but honestly, it’s still really bad) cuz there’s supposed to […]

Ikkyu Ramen Ten 一休拉麵店 is a No!No!No!!

Update: This restaurant has closed. Feeling like ramen, while waiting for dad’s surgery to be done, I searched on google to see if there’s a nearby ramen place without having to go to Downtown.  I found Ikkyu Ramen Ten and decided to go there for lunch/early dinner afterwards. It turned out to be actually quite […]

Kirin 麒麟 @ New Westminster

It was another weekly dim sum brunch with Mum.  This day she wanted to go to Walmart so we decided to yum cha at Kirin Restaurant in New Westminster, at Starlight Casino. I really like the decor of the place.  It’s unlike other Chinese Seafood Restaurants in that it’s not all red with a dragon […]

Excellent Tofu & Snack 好好豆品

Wendy and I have been wanting to come to this place for a while.  We have been at Excellent Tofu a couple of times in the past and it was quite good.  After we had dinner, we rushed to Excellent Tofu at Central Square to try to get there before 9pm, only to find that […]

Bubble World 大頭仔 @ Burnaby

L and I took a coworker V out for bubble tea.  Her first experience wasn’t great, so I wanted to take her to a trusted good place and order her a trusted good drink. As we work close to Metrotown, the closest and best place to choose would obviously be Bubble World on Kingsway. It […]

No.1 Shanghai Cuisine 滬上

Update Nov 28, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. There are many types of Chinese cuisine. Tonight, we explored another venue for Shanghain-nese food in the great plains of Richmond. This place calls itself “Number One Shanghai Cuisine”. I don’t know about you guys, but I sure want to find out if in fact they […]

The Jade Seafood Restaurant 玉庭軒

I’ve been very fortunate lately to have at least one weekday off per week to go have dim sum with my mom.  I love going to “yum cha”, and I look forward to it everytime. This particular Monday, we were originally planning to go to Vivavity Restaurant on Alexandra Road.  That seems to be one […]

Van Cheong Tea Palace – Green Tea Mochi

Update Oct 3, 2009:  The Aberdeen location of this restaurant has since been shut down.  The non-restaurant location at Lansdowne is still open though. Reader Holly has been paying attention.  She noticed that I love chewy foods, so she suggested that I go try Aberdeen Centre’s Van Cheong Tea Palace’s Green Tea Mochi. So I […]
