Original Joe’s Cambie

Today was Cambie street’s All-Access party…I think it’s to celebrate the reopening of Cambie Street.  However, it doesn’t seem like it actually IS reopened…since construction was going on. A bunch of coworkers and I went to join the party after work.  Honestly, it wasn’t much of a party.  However, we went to Original Joe’s for […]

Vivacity 名都

Update: This restaurant has closed. SO like I said before, Vivacity Restaurant is my mom’s favorite dim sum place. This one Tuesday we were fortunate enough to be able to get a parking space in that hellhole parkade of theirs. Normally, it shouldn’t be that bad (but honestly, it’s still really bad) cuz there’s supposed to […]

Blueberry World Frozen Yogurt

Update Jul 20, 2012: This restaurant is now closed Welcome to Blueberry World, where your wildest dreams and pleasures will come true!!! Well, not exactly, but my parents, Wendy and I did enjoy ourselves in this little shop on West Broadway near Granville. The exterior view into the shop was like this: It was about […]

The Fish House Redux – Sequel Syndrome

Update: This restaurant has closed. We have once again decided to grace The Fish House in Stanley Park with our presence and be subjected to their alluring offerings. The occasion is my mom’s birthday. She really enjoyed it last year and we were looking forward to it again. My mom is usually picky (and at […]

Ikkyu Ramen Ten 一休拉麵店 is a No!No!No!!

Update: This restaurant has closed. Feeling like ramen, while waiting for dad’s surgery to be done, I searched on google to see if there’s a nearby ramen place without having to go to Downtown.  I found Ikkyu Ramen Ten and decided to go there for lunch/early dinner afterwards. It turned out to be actually quite […]

Max’s Bakery & Delicatessen

Today was a sort of family day. Dad was getting cataract surgery done at VGH so Mom and I drove him down there. When we dropped him off, we had about an hour to kill, so we thought of going somewhere. There really isn’t much around the W. Broadway/Oak area, so it took us quite […]

BK Mushroom Swiss Steakhouse Burger

Originally since it was Wednesday, I wanted to take advantage of Whopper Wednesday and get a Whopper. However, as I pulled near the drive-thru window, the big huge advertisement for the BK Mushroom & Swiss Steakhouse Burger caught my eye and it was too enticing to pass up. So I gave up the $1.49 Whopper […]

Kirin 麒麟 @ New Westminster

It was another weekly dim sum brunch with Mum.  This day she wanted to go to Walmart so we decided to yum cha at Kirin Restaurant in New Westminster, at Starlight Casino. I really like the decor of the place.  It’s unlike other Chinese Seafood Restaurants in that it’s not all red with a dragon […]

Excellent Tofu & Snack 好好豆品

Wendy and I have been wanting to come to this place for a while.  We have been at Excellent Tofu a couple of times in the past and it was quite good.  After we had dinner, we rushed to Excellent Tofu at Central Square to try to get there before 9pm, only to find that […]

Berry Good Cafe

“Berry Good…it was…Very Good!” – Boyfriend That was how he suggested I start this post.  Anyways, feeling like dessert one night, I looked around Urbanspoon and Dinehere to see what dessert places are located in Richmond.  Berry Good got pretty positive reviews from most everyone that reviewed. So naturally I decided that Boyfriend would accompany […]
