Hitman and I first heard of the concept of cat cafes about a year ago. He read about them in one of those free daily papers and became really excited, and we planned on visiting one in Asia someday. Then we sorta forgot about it for a while. Then, on Fannypack’s and my last day in Seoul, […]
If you’ve been by the new Richmond Center food court, you’ve probably been accosted by the hawkers at Bourbon Street Grill. Apparently it’s a franchise, and Coquitlam Center got theirs first, but for Wendy and I it was a new experience and based on their friendly staff and abundant samples we picked it as the […]
One day on our way to Bo Laksa King’s we drove by the bright yellow awning of Tamam. Hitman caught the text reading “Fine Palestinian Cuisine” and we were instantly intrigued. We took a look at their menu online, and found enough items of interest so we made a date to go there for lunch. […]
My quest for Mister Donut did not start out great….first of all the location listed in our tour book was no longer around…and Googling did not help either. So basically I had given up on the first night. The next morning we were on our way to Insadong. Fannypack suggested we take a walk to […]
Some friends headed out to celebrate a couple of birthdays on Saturday and decided to have the dinner and pre-drinks at Lickerish Lounge on Davie St. Neither of us has been here but we have heard of it; the paintings of major urban music figures on the walls were what came to mind immediately. We […]
We had made a mental note to stop by this neat looking little Portuguese place on Kingsway after seeing it while driving through the neighborhood. There was no info about it online when we checked so we figured it must be new (apparently it’s been there for a while under a different name before being […]
I actually cook more often than this blog would have you know. I enjoy cooking, and I’m proud to say that more often than not, my creations are edible and actually yummy. You see, I’m the type to just throw in whatever condiments/seasonings I have on hand in whatever amounts I think is right. I […]
It’s that time of year, the most wonderful time of the year as Wendy calls/sings it: king crab season, and her and I got a chance to indulge, not once, but twice! We decided to treat her parents one weekend, and they kindly returned the favour the next. For our treat it was M’s Seafood […]
During our stay in Seoul Fannypack and I took the subway a lot. It was the rather convenient way to travel around and it was a lot easier to understand too as they have the English names written on the maps rather than just Korean characters, which was the case with buses. And, as with […]
So…now comes the time of the main attraction…the whole purpose of our trip to South Korea. Prior to the trip we had researched just where would be a good place to have this sannakji: fresh raw octopus, the tentacles of which are served still squirming on the plate. It turns out, a lot of restaurants […]
