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 […]

Benkei Noodle Shop 辨慶 Robson

Update Jan 3, 2014: This Robson St location is now closed. It’s a bit late but after all this time, we’ve finally got on the Benkei-wagon and visited the renowned Benkei Ramen. It was Boyfriend’s birthday and he didn’t want anything fancy.  He actually really really wanted to have ramen!  All the better for my […]

The Clubhouse Restaurant

A favorite Japanese restaurant of Boyfriend and mine is The Clubhouse Restaurant.  We been going since the early days of our relationship.  Unfortunately we don’t get to go often since it is just so out of the way.  We also found that the place seems to have irregular hours…we wanted to go once on a […]

The William Tell

Update: This restaurant is now closed. Pretty Sis took Mom and I to dinner out one night.  She found a restaurant that is Swiss-French and a bit of West Coast.  What a combination huh? The William Tell is located in the heart of downtown.  You all should know by now how much I absolutely LOATHE […]

Zefferelli’s

The Entertainment Book is now $15USD with free shipping! We always buy it around this time of year, as the book’s really cheap now (since it expires in November), and with just one meal you can get your money’s worth back. I’ve seen it become just $8 even later in the year. So we went […]

Original Joe’s Cambie

Today was Cambie street’s All-Access party…I think it’s to celebrate the reopening of Cambie Street.  However, it doesn’t seem like it actually IS reopened…since construction was going on. A bunch of coworkers and I went to join the party after work.  Honestly, it wasn’t much of a party.  However, we went to Original Joe’s for […]

Blueberry World Frozen Yogurt

Update Jul 20, 2012: This restaurant is now closed Welcome to Blueberry World, where your wildest dreams and pleasures will come true!!! Well, not exactly, but my parents, Wendy and I did enjoy ourselves in this little shop on West Broadway near Granville. The exterior view into the shop was like this: It was about […]

The Fish House Redux – Sequel Syndrome

Update: This restaurant has closed. We have once again decided to grace The Fish House in Stanley Park with our presence and be subjected to their alluring offerings. The occasion is my mom’s birthday. She really enjoyed it last year and we were looking forward to it again. My mom is usually picky (and at […]
