It had been forever since I’ve had Cantonese barbequed crispy pork and roast duck ever since my parents and I moved out of Richmond. I had a craving for it so took DaddyO out for lunch and he suggested Chinatown BBQ in…well, Chinatown! My parents regularly pick up roast pork or roast duck from this place, so […]
This year for AngryRussian’s birthday I took him to St. Lawrence Restaurant for dinner. I had always wanted to try this place but have heard that the waiting list is quite long, so never looked into it. Now with COVID reopening status, it seemed so much easier to get a reservation in due time so […]
Our last restaurant stop in our Okanagan trip was the Masala Bistro at Kismet Estate Winery. We were at this winery the last time we were here but did not dine at the bistro. However our friends we were with had been and really loved it here so we came! Started off with some drinks! They […]
The Saturday that we were in the Okanagan was a special day for AngryRussian and I, so we left our friends and headed to the Restaurant at Poplar Grove Winery (website) for a special dinner. Poplar Grove Winery is situated on a hill that overlooks the rest of Penticton. We were seated right by the floor to […]
After a day of wine tasting, we headed to Penticton for dinner at Salty’s Beach House. Salty’s Beach House is located directly across from Lake Okanagan in Downtown Penticton and if you get a patio seat you have great views of the lake and beach. As the weather forecasted rain that day, we had reserved a […]
We decided to take it easy on the first night of our Naramata stay and ordered pizza delivery from Real Things Pizza. Their website is basic but kooky, their “Meet Our Employees” page is especially interesting! Their worker base seems to either be entirely made up of kids or there’s something in the water here that makes adults look […]
Since we already have vacation time booked and BC has been doing pretty well, we decided to go with some friends to Naramata. On the way we stopped by Cannery Brewing in Penticton for a break and a bite. And also a drink. We started with a flight ($8) as usual. I really like their Sunblink Berry Sour and […]
This year, instead of getting one big birthday cake, I asked to go to Thierry Chocolates instead to get a couple treats. Thierry had always been on my list and since we’re gonna be in the area anyways after dinner at Verre, why not?! Thierry is quite roomy with seats instead and a sort of heated patio […]
Update: This restaurant has permanently closed. So this year for some reason, AngryRussian forgot that we usually keep our birthday restaurants a secret and told me that he’s taking me to Verre at Coal Harbour. When I said “Oh so I guess we’re not doing the secret restaurant thing anymore?” he said “Oh shoot!”. Anyways, I had […]
This year Fannypack and I did birthday dinner a little different. We didn’t tell each other where we’re taking them so it was fun to see what we came up with. It was also hard though since…we’ve both been to so many restaurants that it might be a repeat! We did well though. I took her to Como Taperia for […]
