Update: This restaurant has closed. Feeling like ramen, while waiting for dad’s surgery to be done, I searched on google to see if there’s a nearby ramen place without having to go to Downtown. I found Ikkyu Ramen Ten and decided to go there for lunch/early dinner afterwards. It turned out to be actually quite […]
Today was a sort of family day. Dad was getting cataract surgery done at VGH so Mom and I drove him down there. When we dropped him off, we had about an hour to kill, so we thought of going somewhere. There really isn’t much around the W. Broadway/Oak area, so it took us quite […]
Originally since it was Wednesday, I wanted to take advantage of Whopper Wednesday and get a Whopper. However, as I pulled near the drive-thru window, the big huge advertisement for the BK Mushroom & Swiss Steakhouse Burger caught my eye and it was too enticing to pass up. So I gave up the $1.49 Whopper […]
Pretty Sis introduced me to +Alpha (UPDATE: now called Alpha Sushi Bar), another izakaya restaurant located in downtown Vancouver. I first thought that it’s probably a lesser known Japanese tapas restaurant due to the “monopoly” by Guu. However, Pretty Sis says that this place gets busier the later it gets, so I guess this gem […]
Update Aug 3, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. So the invite turned out to be legitimate. r.tl hosted a Foodie Night this past Tuesday to showcase their new menu. I was quite surprised that my little blog was actually found and the organizer thought to invite me. r.tl is located near the edge of […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Boyfriend and I had originally planned on going to Motomachi for ramen Wednesday night. However, once we got there, we found out that it was closed on said day. We were a bit disappointed, but at the same time I was excited because it finally gave us a chance to […]
Update: Feb 15, 2014: This restaurant has since shut down. Qoola has already been reviewed by a lot of other blogs with great reviews. I’ve been here once and this would be my second time. What keeps me coming back is the Mochi topping they offer. As I’ve stated before, I ♥ anything chewy!! The […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. The Fish House is one of our most favorite restaurants. We like it because they always have coupons in Entertainment Book, and even without the coupon, the prices are not too hard to swallow. They have two dining areas. This is the lighter, brighter side. The other side is more […]
Went shopping at Metrotown and walked by the Saint Germain Bakery. The colorful macarons in their fridge caught my eye, and since I’ve had quite a bit during my cruise, I was eager to try them. Pretty aren’t they? From left they are Lemon, Strawberry and Pistachio. Texture-wise, these were quite a bit thicker than […]
I’ll be leaving for a South American cruise on Saturday, meaning I’ll miss the bulk of Dine-out Vancouver. Since I’ll also be missing a friend’s birthday during that time, I quickly organized a dinner together to take advantage of Dine-out. A friend wanted to try a restaurant from the $18 menu. I picked Granville Room […]
