Parallel 49 Brewing Company - Triple Berry Smoothie

Vancouver Craft Beer Week 2018 Festival Weekend

This past weekend was Vancouver Craft Beer Week‘s annual festival at the PNE.  AngryRussian and I had the opportunity to go and it was a joy as always to go and see both old and new local craft breweries do their thing! What I absolutely enjoy about these types of events is that you get to […]

Amay's House - Laksa

Amay’s House Burmese and Asian Cuisine

Fannypack is such a good dinner partner because she is mostly up for anything.  When I said I wanted to try out Amay’s House, a burmese restaurant, she immediately says “Ok let’s go!” We tried a bunch of staples.  First we both really wanted Amay’s House’s version of Myanmar Tea Leaf Salad “Laphet Thoke” ($8).  Last time […]

Trattoria Burnaby - Linguine Vongole

Trattoria Burnaby

Trattoria is one of many of Glowbal group’s ventures.  The original location is in Vancouver but they’ve expanded to a second location in Burnaby for a few years now.  AngryRussian and I decided to go for their “Tratt Tuesday” which means any of their pastas for $13! We made it in time for Trattoria’s “cocktail […]

Grub - Duck

Grub on Main

Grub […]

Forage - Grilled Humboldt Squid

Dine Out Vancouver 2018: Forage

Notch8 - Garden under the Sea

Dine Out Vancouver 2018: Notch8 Restaurant

I’ve actually never heard of Notch8 Restaurant before and the first time was when I was picking out a Dine Out Vancouver menu this year.  The way they named their dishes was very endearing to me, plus they had grilled octopus on the menu!  So Notch8 became my second Dine Out Vancouver restaurant and C-Dizzle […]
