Cavalia @ Olympic Village, Vancouver

I interrupt the Japan Tour programming to bring you a review on “Cavalia“, a Cirque-esque equestrian show, created by one of the original founders of Cirque-du-soleil, now playing in Vancouver.  It’s probably about time I did something with the “ ‘n About” part of my blog huh… Our show was last night and we had […]

Gorilla Food

Update: This restaurant has closed. I had a day out with Miz Brown Sugar in Downtown and we were planning to have lunch too.  Since Miz Brown Sugar was vegan, I was left with the task of finding a suitable restaurant.  I actually didn’t realize how hard it was to find a vegan restaurant in Downtown.  […]

Griffins @ Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

Update Feb 15, 2014: This restaurant is now closed. If you didn’t hear by now, it is Griffins 18th birthday this year and to celebrate, they are offering their menu for 50% off till the end of September.  Naturally I took advantage of this incredible deal and had dinner there with Fannypack.  She’s the best friend […]

Cookies of Course

Update: This business is now a delivery-only service with no storefront. I’ve recently joined a bunch of those “Daily Deal” sites and I must say, I was skeptic at first but it’s been treating me pretty well.  They are usually very good deals and the coupon for Cookies of Course was one of my first […]

Simba’s Grill on Denman

Been wanting to try foods of a different culture for a while.  Finally my chance came when I went to dinner with GRock.  He gave me 3 choices: Korean, Ramen, or African.  I picked African right away. So that became Simba’s Grill on Denman (they also have a location in Burnaby).  Apparently another coworker had […]

Au Bar Nightclub

It was a night out with the girls on a Saturday night.  None of us really have much experience going clubbing so I had the job of picking a place.  After asking around, the first suggestion I received was Au Bar.  So after reading up on Google, we (I) decided to give this place a […]

Dine Out Vancouver 2010: The Refinery

For my last Dine-out experience of 2010, we went to a place called The Refinery which is located on Granville. It’s a very small restaurant located on top of Sip Lounge (I think they’re owned by the same people).  However it has quite an intimate setting and we were impressed. For my appetizer I picked […]

Benkei Ramen on Thurlow

Update: This location is now closed. I find that the Thurlow location of Benkei more convenient, as it’s closer to the Canada Line station so it’s within easy walking distance. I don’t quite remember if the old location had these two types of soup on their menu, but I’m pretty sure Shiro isn’t on there. […]

Babylon Cafe

Update:  This restaurant is now closed. I’m probably very late on trying on Babylon Cafe.  A few coworkers had raved about this place and finally I was able to try it.  I had just gotten off work so I was hungry, plus it was pouring rain so a piping hot wrap in my hands definitely […]
