Wendy was quite excited to spot the transition of Pho Hoa on Kingsway to its new incarnation, Pho Boi: A Taste of Vietnam about a week ago. We agreed to try it ASAP. It seems this chain has its roots in Victoria, so in hindsight that should have been a red flag right there… […]
When it gets really cold I always crave a hot bowl of pho. Last night was no exception. But somehow we ended up at Mr. Ho Wonton House. How did that happen?? Well blame me and my trait of easily distractedness. As Hitman and I were going along Kingsway I got distracted by the neon […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Before we get to Handi Cuisine of India I’d like to say a few words about lazymeal. For those of you not yet familiar with lazymeal, it’s an online food ordering platform that is focused on recommending the tastiest meals in greater Vancouver. It’s simple, just punch in your postal […]
For White Spot’s 85th anniversary, Triple O’s offered a secret menu item called the Triple Triple. Why is it secret? Because it’s not mentioned on their menu board…you have to be in the know to know to order it 😉 This is what they have to say about it: It is “Triple Os biggest burger […]
While the name might conjure up spooky images of a bad ’80s horror movie or a cheesy black metal band, Anatolia’s Gate is actually a Turkish restaurant offering plenty of delicious and interesting departures from the usual Middle Eastern donairs and such. We’ve stopped by a few times since I first heard about it through […]
Update: This restaurant as closed. Wendy and I had a pho craving while out shopping in the Edmonds area and decided to give Kim Anh a shot. They serve Vietnamese cuisine alongside Canadian diner fare which I suppose could be considered a bit of a red flag but the appetite-inducing photos in the windows beckoned […]
My craving for a good galbi-tang has resurfaced recently…and I’ve been trying to find restaurants locally that have it. Somehow I came across the lunch menu at Potter’s Garden on Urbanspoon and they do have it at a decent price (around $8) so I made a date with Hitman to go check it out. Only […]
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 Kim Penh Xe Lua location is now closed. This was a first for me: actually ordering food, taking a bite then refusing to pay and leaving immediately. Yes, believe it or not, this hole in the wall was that disgustingly awful. Wendy and I had seen the grand opening sign for this Vietnamese/Cambodian […]
Not to be outdone by my anniversary surprise, Wendy planned a veritable feast of Chinese delicacies I had been wanting to try for my birthday. I should insert a disclaimer here that Wendy is originally from Hong Kong while I’m Caucasian. You’ll see why in a moment… Acting on a friend’s recommendation we chose Top […]
