Update: This restaurant has closed. This is a small HK-style dessert shop located on Westminster Highway where Kingspark restaurant is. I like this place because they have a few unusual yummy desserts, one such I am about to show you. The interior is quite small. There’s about 10 tables in total. It’s pretty brightly lit […]
Update Oct 13, 2009: This shop has since closed down 🙁 Le Bonbon Cafe is my current favorite bakery to get cheesecake from. The owner bakes the cheesecakes herself and it is one of the most flavorful cheesecakes I’ve ever tasted, even better than Cheesecake, Etc. Boyfriend bought me three slices as a surprise. A […]
Update Feb 28, 2011: This restaurant is now closed. One of our favorite Cantonese late night places is this place. It is located in Continental Centre on Hazelbridge. Late night dinner is called “Da Lan” (打冷) and you basically order a few dishes of (fatty) dishes to share and usually comes with AYCE congee. My […]
One of my favorite asian desserts is something called Hot Grass Jelly 燒仙草. As stated by its name, it is a hot dessert. This is sort of a specialty of Taiwanese restaurants. It is especially yummy and comforting on a cold Fall/Winter day, as it has been these past few weeks. Now it may look […]
Update: Northern Delicacy is now closed. We’ve been to Northern Delicacy numerous times. It is located in Aberdeen Centre. Did you know that on some maps this area is called “Golden Village”? It was a Monday. I thought the mall would be relatively quiet. Nope. I forgot that is was THANKSGIVING MONDAY. One thing I […]
This location seems to have many change of hands. This time around it became a Shanghai restaurant. The outer decor is left the same, except for obviously the restaurant sign. They’re located on No. 3 Road across from Richmond Centre, in the mall that houses Staples. I have never been inside the previous identities, so […]
The best pho soup base for me lately has got to be this place. It’s located between No. 3 Road and Cooney, along Westminster Highway. Between the 3 of us only one ordered pho, but they still gave us a big plate of boiled bean sprouts, basil and lime. Even though it’s not the way […]
Update Jan 13, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. This is a “new” restaurant that’s opened in Union Square along Capstan Way. It’s not actually new, as the owner and the workers are still the same, as is the decor. They just renamed the place and revamped their menu. Like all HK Style cafes, this […]
We had heard of Ichiro Japanese restaurant from our friend, who highly recommended it. It took us a few hurdles to finally be able to visit it. The first time, we tried on a Monday. We arrived to realize that it’s closed on Mondays. The next time, intelligent us decided to go on a Saturday. […]
Kari House is a malaysian restaurant in Steveston Village. It was quite packed when we visited, but then it WAS a Friday night so not surprising. We were promptly seated even though we did not make reservations. The restaurant’s location is quite near the end of the whole Steveston deck housing the restaurants, so there was […]
