Bandidas Taqueria

I had drove past Bandidas Taqueria quite a few times and it was last Christmas that I’ve mentioned to L and Jube that we should try it.  However this visit was with neither of them, but with GRock, purely because of our mutual love for sangrias. It was a very casual place, which was funny […]

The King’s Head Pub

Update: This restaurant is now closed. The King’s Head Pub really isn’t a place I would’ve chosen to go to, based on how it looks.  It looks really dingy and dark and dirty.  However the reviews mostly seem to be good, citing good food, good drinks, good atmosphere.  Plus, the new friend that I made […]

Pho Century

Update: This restaurant has moved to a new location. It was another lunch outing with the coworkers.  This time we decided to visit a new place (new as in we’ve never been to it before) on Willingdon and Kingsway called Pho Century.  From the outside it looks like one of those dirty, dingy places, what, […]

陽光屋 Sunshine Cafe

L and I really felt like have bubble tea after work one weekend.  She really wanted to go to Crystal Mall.  However, I was scared.  It was the weekend.  At Crystal Mall.  But I sucked it up and drove there.  However after walking around the food court a few times, we still couldn’t pick anything, […]

Dine Out Vancouver 2010: The Refinery

For my last Dine-out experience of 2010, we went to a place called The Refinery which is located on Granville. It’s a very small restaurant located on top of Sip Lounge (I think they’re owned by the same people).  However it has quite an intimate setting and we were impressed. For my appetizer I picked […]

Dine Out Vancouver 2010: Seasons in the Park

Time for Dine Out again!  I thought I’ll quickly churn out this post while there’s still some time left for those of you that are looking for reviews before choosing a restaurant. This time, Mom chose Seasons in the Park as she really enjoyed it last time and it was close to Pretty Sis’ birthday. […]

Benkei Ramen on Thurlow

Update: This location is now closed. I find that the Thurlow location of Benkei more convenient, as it’s closer to the Canada Line station so it’s within easy walking distance. I don’t quite remember if the old location had these two types of soup on their menu, but I’m pretty sure Shiro isn’t on there. […]

Babylon Cafe

Update:  This restaurant is now closed. I’m probably very late on trying on Babylon Cafe.  A few coworkers had raved about this place and finally I was able to try it.  I had just gotten off work so I was hungry, plus it was pouring rain so a piping hot wrap in my hands definitely […]

Misoya Ramen

Update Dec 3, 2012: This restaurant is now closed. I think I’ve seen this Misoya Ramen before but just didn’t remember it until I saw them advertised in the current issue of Klip magazine.  They currently have a coupon in there for a Ramen and Gyoza combo for $10. It is not very big in […]
