Update: This restaurant has closed. After a raving review from The Awkward Diner about Pumphouse Taproom, especially that they have a huge beer list (and a yummy fruity one to boot), I enlisted Six to accompany me to Richmond for a taste. The place has a full-on pub vibe for sure. In fact, when we […]
Once in a while, I get a hankering for some good old Hong Kong comfort food. These foods come in the form of fried noodles, congee, baked spaghetti, etc., just a smorgasbord of items all accompanied by ice-cold Hong Kong style milk tea, coffee, or a mix of both (a wonderful invention from my culture). […]
Going way, way back to our Mid-Autumn Festival family celebration, Hitman and I had dinner with my parents and relatives at Suhang Restaurant. It was his first time for Shanghainese food. The draw for me was that my uncle had pre-ordered the Beggar’s Chicken and I was excited to see and try it. I hadn’t […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. Wendy’s parents recommended this restaurant for a recent family dinner since it’s one of her and Wendy’s favourite dim sum spots (see Wendy’s review here –sad to say that apparently they no longer have the food carts though). I wasn’t planning on a review since it had already been […]
If you’ve been by the new Richmond Center food court, you’ve probably been accosted by the hawkers at Bourbon Street Grill. Apparently it’s a franchise, and Coquitlam Center got theirs first, but for Wendy and I it was a new experience and based on their friendly staff and abundant samples we picked it as the […]
It’s that time of year, the most wonderful time of the year as Wendy calls/sings it: king crab season, and her and I got a chance to indulge, not once, but twice! We decided to treat her parents one weekend, and they kindly returned the favour the next. For our treat it was M’s Seafood […]
Just a note before we start: one of Wendy’s coworkers made a comment along the lines of, “Wow, you guys really like surprises…!”, after hearing about our latest dinner out, so at the risk of sounding too overly cute here’s just one more. Last one, we promise!! …Well at least for a good long while […]
We’ve known of Coconama in Richmond for quite some time, and have had a few sample before, but never took the plunge to get anything. This time was different. I’m sure the fact that samples were tirelessly handed out helped a lot too. Among the flavors we sampled were Blueberry, Lemon Basil, Coffee, and Earl […]
Update: This location as closed. As promised! Cattle Cafe post!! I’ve went to the Richmond location quite a few times already. It was around the time the no-MSG fish-soup-noodle-combo thing started to get popular. They really do make quite good food. And they’re always packed. When a good good friend of mine came to visit […]
I’m back to being addicted to HK-Style Milk Tea. Lately, I’ve noticed that there really isn’t a restaurant in Richmond that really makes it good anymore. The only ones that come to mind who makes decent ones are Alleluia, Cattle Cafe, and Joy’s Kitchen in Parker Place. Actually, I really really like Cattle Cafe. They’re […]
