Vancouver Olympics 2010 Eats Around Town

Wow it’s been a crazy week last week obviously.  If you hadn’t noticed, Vancouver’s hosting the current 2010 Winter Olympics so Boyfriend and I had been around town enjoying the festivities.  After all, we’re two of the many, MANY unofficial sponsors of the games from the province of BC. So that explains the lack of […]

Let’s Go For Dinner: Coast Restaurant

It was another Let’s Go For Dinner event for us.  We wanted to go to Downtown again and so we picked a restaurant that was within walking distance from the Canada Line station/Pacific Centre.  This time we chose Coast Restaurant. We made reservations for 5:45pm so it wasn’t that busy as it was quite early […]

ShuRaku Sake Bar and Bistro

For Fannypack’s birthday dinner, I chose for us to head to Downtown via the Canada Line.  It’s convenient and since Fannypack and O haven’t been on it before, I thought it’ll be fun. My restaurant choice that night was ShuRaku Japanese Bistro. Just get off at Vancouver City Centre Station and walk 1.5 blocks and […]

Sanafir

Update: This restaurant is now closed. It was Mommy’s birthday last week, so Pretty Sis and I took Mom and her sister (our aunt obviously) out to Downtown for dinner. Traditionally we had taken her to fine-dining.  However this year, I’ve decided to make full use of my $5 Let’s Go For Dinner membership (it’s […]

Barefoot Kitchen

Update: This restaurant is now closed. Pretty Sis read a review of Barefoot Kitchen in the Georgia Straight a while ago and had asked me to go with her. I happily obliged, as it was from the same people of Ichiro Japanese Restaurant, previously blogged about here and here. As forewarned by a coworker, if […]

Let’s Go for Dinner and Aquarium! Part 2: Zin

Update: Zin Restaurant has closed. Look familiar? We planned to have dinner in Downtown after our trip to the Aquarium since we were going to be in the neighbourhood anyways.  We chose Zin Restaurant Lounge because I’ve heard of their $2 appys from 4-7pm.  They’re also a participant of the letsgofordinner.com “promotion”. It’s located on […]

Let’s Go for Dinner and Aquarium! Part 1

There must be something in the water here in Richmond.  Just as Ben was blogging about the letsgofordinner.com loyalty card, I was preparing this post.  Richmond-ers must think alike. Anyways, our day was more like “let’s go to Aquarium then dinner”.  This marks the first post where we blog about something else other than eating, […]

Chicco Cafe

After our dinner at Toratatsu, it was still early out so we didn’t want to waste our trip to Downtown and took a walk down Robson.  By the time the shops were closing, we were ready for dessert again, so I took them to Chicco. I was introduced to this place many years ago by […]

Toratatsu Again

Update: This restaurant is now closed. The bunch of us congregated in Downtown again to attend M’s convocation at the new Vancouver Convention Centre.  Afterwards, we had to decide where to go for dinner and I suggested Toratatsu since we all like Izakayas. As usual we’re all supposed to pick something.  We ordered a bunch […]

Irashai Grill & Motomachi Shokudo

We were, like some other bloggers, invited to the Irashai Grill Open House.  All I can say about that was….disappointment and chaos.  It was pretty bad.  More about that later. Obviously, it was so chaotic, messy, disorganized,  over-crowded, chaotic (did I say that already?), that we stayed probably a bit over 30 minutes and decided […]
