On a recent trip to the States, Aunt Aggy had recommended a frozen entrée from Trader Joe’s to me. It’s the Trader Joe’s Spicy Thai Shrimp Fried Rice ($3.99USD I believe….). She had raved and raved about it so I had to try it. The shrimp portion is in a separate baggy from the rice […]
No, this restaurant is not a white man’s take on Thai cuisine. Bob Likes Thai Food is actually run by a Mr. Tai Keattivanichvily, and seems to have got its name as randomly as I got mine (for those wondering, I was wearing a red tie/white shirt get-up for work once, and combined with my […]
Well well well, I’m back in San Diego again, this time for work. I was quite excited not only because this is my first business trip, but also ’cause it’s an opportunity for out-of-town posts!! Prior to the trip I googled and urbanspoon’d for where to eat. I finally decided on Spices Thai Cafe in Mira […]
East is East has two locations, one on Main St. and one on Broadway in Kits. After sampling some of the Kitsilano East is East offerings at a recent YVR Foodies Meetup, we won a gift certificate for being really spammy on Twitter that day hehe. The certificate could be used at either location, so […]
After the previous week’s pretty negative experience at Wild Rice Wendy and I braved the River Market once again to test longtail kitchen out. A kind of humourous aside here: when I Googled “Longtail Kitchen” to give them a link in this article, the self-written description under their result says, “best restaurant in New Westminster” […]
Wendy’s been spending a bit of time down at the River Market at New Westminster Quay, and with me not having been at all yet we decided to go for dinner at Wild Rice. I vaguely remembered having heard good things about Wild Rice restaurant, and I know it serves fairly healthy food, so it […]
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 […]
Wendy decided to take advantage of the Living Social voucher this evening so that I could try U & I Thai for myself. It was busy when we arrived but luckily Wendy had made reservations and we were seated immediately. They had the place done up nicely for Christmas with ornaments and wreaths etc. We […]
It’s very difficult to get Fannypack to make a choice…with me anyways. However for her birthday I finally got her to choose a place to eat. She ended up picking U & I Thai in Cambie so a date was set! We were supposed to pick a dish each but I of course ended up picking […]
I’ve been wanting to try Maenam for a while now since I’m a big fan of all things Thai and was curious about trying Thai food with a gourmet twist, which is exactly what Maenam offers. The first thing I noticed was the warm, inviting atmosphere, made apparent through excellent use of light and colour. […]
