Le Bonbon Cheesecake Cafe

Update Oct 13, 2009: This shop has since closed down 🙁 Le Bonbon Cafe is my current favorite bakery to get cheesecake from.  The owner bakes the cheesecakes herself and it is one of the most flavorful cheesecakes I’ve ever tasted, even better than Cheesecake, Etc. Boyfriend bought me three slices as a surprise.  A […]

Buca di BEPPO – Lynnwood, WA

was in a moving car when taking this… On our last night in the states, my aunt and uncle took us out for dinner.  The restaurant they chose was Buca di BEPPO which is supposedly quite popular, and it was.  By 6:30pm the waiting area was packed with people.  Good thing we had reservations. The […]

Jack In The Box

Boyfriend had always wanted to try Jack In The Box.  He had a chance this time. They had a variety of special milkshakes during this time.  If I remember correctly, there was Eggnog and Pumpkin Pie.  I chose to get the Pumpkin Pie milkshake to try. It was VERY thick, like most fast food shakes.  […]

World Wrapps @ Alderwood Mall

Update: World Wrapps is now closed. We didn’t get out of our relatives house until around 1pm that day, so we were starving.  We planned to eat at the food court but I saw World Wrapps at the outer Village part of the mall, and I couldn’t take my hunger anymore. The inner decor was […]

Red Lobster “Endless Shrimp Fest”

The closest one to us is the one in Lynnwood. I must say they did a pretty good job with […]

Late night dinner is called “Da Lan” (打冷) and you basically order a few dishes of (fatty) dishes to share and usually comes with AYCE congee. My […]

Greek Food Festival 2008…and Loukoumades…

This is the second time we’ve been to the Greek Food Festival at the Hellenic Community of Vancouver.  This is something they hold every year around mid-October.  This year marks the 31st anniversary and it’s held from Oct 17-19. There’s really not much to see inside, we’re here for the food obviously.  The east side […]

Hot Grass Jelly 燒仙草

One of my favorite asian desserts is something called Hot Grass Jelly 燒仙草.  As stated by its name, it is a hot dessert. This is sort of a specialty of Taiwanese restaurants.  It is especially yummy and comforting on a cold Fall/Winter day, as it has been these past few weeks. Now it may look […]
