Cold winter weather always calls for a nice, cozy cup of hot chocolate don’t you agree? We took a short trip to the island, and while it wasn’t exactly wintery weather, it was still mighty cold. So Hitman took me to a place in downtown Courtenay called Hot Chocolates for…wait for it….Hot Chocolate!! Now Hot […]
We’ve known of Coconama in Richmond for quite some time, and have had a few sample before, but never took the plunge to get anything. This time was different. I’m sure the fact that samples were tirelessly handed out helped a lot too. Among the flavors we sampled were Blueberry, Lemon Basil, Coffee, and Earl […]
My first encounter with ho-dduk was around 5 or 6 years ago at the Night Market in Richmond. It was by the same clan that now does the hurricane potatoes and fish waffles. They made fish waffles back then too but no hurricane potatoes. I got one because it was only $1 each and I […]
Update: This restaurant has moved location. When SheShe saw my Facebook album of the foods I ate in Japan, she was especially intrigued by the waffles over there. So apparently she feverishly googled for a local source of Japanese-style waffle. Miura Waffle Milk Bar was what she found. It’s located near Yaletown but I thought […]
Oh Guu~~ I always have such a good time at your place! What’s your secret? For this particular visit, I’m sure the culprit must be the pitcher of Aloe Vera Mojito ($16.5) shared among two girls. Yep. That must be it. This was refreshing. I liked chewing on the mint leaves but there really aren’t […]
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 […]
Update: This business is now a delivery-only service with no storefront. I’ve recently joined a bunch of those “Daily Deal” sites and I must say, I was skeptic at first but it’s been treating me pretty well. They are usually very good deals and the coupon for Cookies of Course was one of my first […]
Get it. You won’t regret it. Well, maybe in a few hours. But it’ll be worth it 🙂
Paul Croteau Confections had approached a bunch of local food bloggers to sample Mr. Croteau’s creations. He is currently the pastry chef of Campagnolo Restaurant and Refuel restaurant, and now he’s ready to “spread his wings” and open a confection shop of his own. We were invited to Refuel restaurant to have a tasting. Unfortunately […]
L and I felt like wings and beer after a swim. Actually, we went swimming just so we can have wings and beer afterwards. She lives really close to Wings, and her place has a pool, 1+1=2! We didn’t realize it was the first night of the restart of UFC though, so basically when we […]
