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 […]
Koon Bo is one of those restaurants that if you don’t know about it, you would never think to go there. After all, the location pretty much sucks, the parking sucks, the decor sucks, the waiting area sucks, you get the drift. So why is it so popular? Of course it’s the food. It’s not […]
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 […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. I learned about Dot Dessert while searching for a Japanese-style dessert place in Vancouver. I was quite happy to know about it, since I really enjoy the parfaits at Chicco and any new places offering the same thing is always welcome. It was especially exciting since it’s not located […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. Someone has left a message on multiple food blogs regarding this place. I was wary at first since the gist of the message is basically the same. However, since it was ramen related, my interest was peaked. As you can see it’s a small place. 4 tables in total. […]
Continuing with the blueberry theme, on the same night we had dinner at Swiss Chalet, I urbanspooned to see what dessert places were close by. Calhoun’s Bakery Cafe was a few blocks down so I decided on there. It was a bit of a wet and drippy evening that day. However it was a short […]
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 […]
There are places where you hear about often, but never get around to going there. For me, Swiss Chalet was one of those destinations. I saw their commercials since I was very young and loved the shiny, oily videos of rolling chicken and wished to devour such a treat! And finally, Wendy and I got […]
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 […]
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, […]
