Le Panier – Very French Bakery

I went down to Seattle with a co-worker for a one day trip since she had always wanted to go to The Crab Pot.  We were able to fit a lot of shopping into the day and when we arrived at The Crab Pot, it was a bit too early for dinner so we decided […]

HKYK Restaurant 香港英記 Alaskan King Crab

Update Feb 15, 2014: This restaurant has since shut down. On this very cold, rainy, windy night, there were 6 that braved through it all, in order to delight themselves with the great taste of the Alaskan King Crab! Wendy and her family had been planning this for about a week now.  Eating Alaskan King […]

Bubble Fruity 桂花林

I’m always on the lookout for a good Chinese-style dessert place. Boyfriend’s mom told me one day about a new place that opened up near the public market that does just that. Chinese-style desserts are hard to find here. Most of the time the only encounter you have is at a Chinese restaurant where they […]

G-MEN Ramen Shop G-麵

Update: This restaurant is now part of Nan-Chu Restaurant. FIRST POST!  I had to let that out! I have been wanting to post for a while, to finally take the jump into the world of blogging. Let’s get right down to business.  After moping around and thinking of where to eat for dinner, we have […]

Kim Ga Nae 金家內

Update Feb 15, 2014: This restaurant is now closed. This is one of the newer Korean BBQ restaurants in Richmond.  It is located at Browngate Road diagonally across from Aberdeen Centre. They boast 27 items on their AYCE BBQ menu, which is $19.95 at dinner time.  However, as you can see, two items are crossed […]

Sushi World/Pink Swirl

Update Sep 13, 2010: Now closed but part of the restaurant Pink Swirl, in the same mall. Update: Pink Swirl now closed too 🙁 One of our favorite take-out sushi places is Sushi World, located in Empire Centre on No. 3 Road in Richmond. This place is owned by Chinese.  Now, normally I would stay […]

The Fish House at Stanley Park

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 […]

Dine-out Vancouver 2009: The American Grille

Boyfriend and I were able to attend another Dine-out just prior to my cruise.  This time I chose a $28 menu, at a restaurant close to where we live so that we didn’t have to travel far. We had been to The American Grille once before because of a recommendation from a friend to try […]

Macarons by Saint Germain Bakery

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 […]
