Wendy likes to check out the Klip magazine where they feature local restaurants and other interesting items. The front cover to a recent issue had Gyo-O as one of the featured places (it sure pays to be on the front cover)! Gyo-O is at a good location inside the usually busy Continental Centre in Richmond. […]
Pearl Castle at Richmond Centre has finally opened and Boyfriend and I took the chance to visit it on a weekday for lunch. Boy it was packed. But we still managed to get a seat right away. Oh it’s located in the same corridor where McDonald’s is, at the space that was previously Richmond Farm […]
You take a long-time classic like “Milk Tea”, throw some tapioca balls (and then call them precious pearls) in there and thus, creating one of the most popular modern beverage in the last 15 years. We call it simply ‘Bubble Tea’ – its existence permeates the lives of most Asians around the world. Today, we […]
Update Apr 10, 2011: This restaurant is now closed. The first time I had authentic Chilean empanadas was earlier this year when I went on a trip to South America. They sold these things on street-side markets and stalls. My first one however was bought from a convenience store there, instead of off the street. […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Mom and I haven’t been to dim sum for quite a while since our schedules haven’t been matching up quite as nicely lately. So when a chance finally came we went to one of her favorite places: Golden Sea City. Golden Sea City and its predecessor were favorites of ours. […]
Update Feb 4, 2011: This restaurant is now closed. After reading some of the comments left on our initial post on Tuttimelon, we decided to go back unannounced to see how service is for “regular” folks :wink:. So I think the main concern was that the Original yogurt was icy and not smooth enough. Also […]
Update Feb 4, 2011: This restaurant is now closed. There’s a new froyo kid in town!! And it goes by the name of Tuttimelon! It seems like the frozen yogurt craze down South has gained momentum here in the Lower Mainland. The newest addition is located on Alexandra Road a couple doors from Kam Do. […]
Last week, the weather in Vancouver became unbearingly hot (to me and Wendy!). Most homes in Vancouver are not equipped with air conditioners so that makes things worse than other locations elsewhere that receive more annual sunshine. Fans and A/Cs were being swept off shelves during these times. I couldn’t even go buy a fan […]
Update Jun 21, 2012: This restaurant is now closed. It has been a while since we last visited Sensus. Business has picked up since we’ve last been here. We had to wait about 10mins for seat. However, the head waitress here was very nice. She kept coming to reassure us that we’ll have a table […]
Update Nov 14, 2013: This restaurant has moved from the location indicated in this post. Malaysian food has always served me well. I like the seasoning and the spiciness that comes with most of its dishes. The Tom Yum Gong soup has an unbelievably great flavor that keeps me coming back to it. We decided […]
