Here’s just some more pictures from the rest of the food I ate in Kyoto. This will be quite the wordless post. Sorry~ This is from the food department at Daimaru 大丸 department store. Fujiya 不二家 here in Canada is mostly known for their milky caramel candy. There they have complete restaurants (which I’ll get […]
One of the must-visit streets of Kyoto is Nishiki 錦市場, which is basically a long wet-market corridor. It’s mostly food, seafood and produce sold here but they have some souvenir shops also. But mostly, just food. Nishiki, and Kyoto, are known for their preserved pickled vegetables. The Japanese (and Asian) version of pickles are more […]
So after the failed Spot Prawn Festival visit, Pretty Sis and I just decided to head to Granville Island for a stroll. Trying out GoFish was out of the question too as that line up was probably the same length as the one to buy tickets for the prawn boil. Then Pretty Sis remembered the best […]
Last Saturday was the 7th annual Spot Prawn Festival held at False Creek Fisherman’s Wharf near Granville Island. It starts at 12pm and Pretty Sis and I arrived at 1pm. The lineups were INSANELY LONG when we arrived. Good thing we didn’t pre-purchase tickets either for the Prawn Boil, cuz neither of us had the patience […]
Update: This restaurant is now called Bellaggio Laziza Restaurant. I was fortunate enough to be among some fellow bloggers invited to a tasting event held by a new-ish Mediterranean restaurant on Davie – Laziza. Just to give a bit of background on the restaurant, according to the press release, the menu is inspired by the […]
Our first dinner in Kyoto was something I very much anticipated. It was Okonomiyaki お好み焼!! If you don’t know what okonomiyaki is, click here. Okonomiyaki Kinoya 花の屋 was located directly across from our hotel “Super Hotel” (which was a really good hotel by the way). The prices seemed reasonable and it looked authentic so we […]
Honestly, while in Japan, I never went into a meal or ate anything because I was hungry. It was more because I HAD to eat it because I’m IN FREAKIN’ JAPAN. It may be a while before I come back so I needed to eat everything I wanted to eat. Which will explain the insane […]
I absolutely LOVED, LOVED LOOOOOOOOOVED our first dinner/meal in Japan. As we arrived quite late in the day in Osaka, we decided to spend the night at a hotel near the airport in the city of Shin-Osaka. After we checked in, we walked around in search for food. We were hungry!! Just across the intersection […]
If you like crabs and prime rib, this is the buffet for you folks. Pretty Sis and I went down for a visit to our lovely aunt and uncle down in the States. Now when my parents went down a couple times ago aunt and uncle had taken them to the Snoqualmie Casino for their […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. This would be my second time to Foundation. My first time at The Foundation was very favorable so I organized another dinner there. This time with more people so we can order more food! And it was definitely a plus. With more people we were able to order a pitcher […]
