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 […]
Here’s a review of a lunch I had on the go downtown earlier this week. Quick lunch, quick review. Fat Duck Mobile Eatery Ltd food truck parks outside of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Hamilton between Dunsmuir and Georgia. Their menu items hover around $10. I’ve really been digging the food cart thing as of […]
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 […]
After an evening downtown I had a congee craving so Wendy suggested we try Congee Noodle King Seafood Restaurant, an unassuming Chinese place along Kingsway that does a late night menu. The menu is quite varied and has three tiers priced at $5.35, $6.45, and $6.95. We ordered a Plain Congee (Large) ($5.35) and it […]
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. […]
Before I begin this post, I just want to say that I was excited about trying the Gypsy Trunk Gourmet Fare food cart and I really wanted to like them. I admire the proprietor’s free-spirited decision to follow her dream (read more about that on the Gypsy Trunk website) and I respect any business that […]
Wendy and I were looking for a quick snack around Broadway and Cambie, and Solly’s Bagelry looked like it fit the bill. Once inside things got a bit more interesting, as we could see that Solly’s wasn’t just a bagel place, but a full Jewish bakery. As the sign says, they carry babka but we […]
Ever find yourself daydreaming of your next vacation while you’re at work? Wish you could magically transport yourself out of that cramped cubicle and escape to some exotic destination for some much-needed R & R? What if I said you could indulge your fantasy on your next lunch break? If you work downtown, Mangal Kiss […]
