It had been forever since I’ve had Cantonese barbequed crispy pork and roast duck ever since my parents and I moved out of Richmond. I had a craving for it so took DaddyO out for lunch and he suggested Chinatown BBQ in…well, Chinatown! My parents regularly pick up roast pork or roast duck from this place, so […]
When it gets really cold I always crave a hot bowl of pho. Last night was no exception. But somehow we ended up at Mr. Ho Wonton House. How did that happen?? Well blame me and my trait of easily distractedness. As Hitman and I were going along Kingsway I got distracted by the neon […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. Wendy’s parents recommended this restaurant for a recent family dinner since it’s one of her and Wendy’s favourite dim sum spots (see Wendy’s review here –sad to say that apparently they no longer have the food carts though). I wasn’t planning on a review since it had already been […]
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 […]
Not to be outdone by my anniversary surprise, Wendy planned a veritable feast of Chinese delicacies I had been wanting to try for my birthday. I should insert a disclaimer here that Wendy is originally from Hong Kong while I’m Caucasian. You’ll see why in a moment… Acting on a friend’s recommendation we chose Top […]
I’m back to being addicted to HK-Style Milk Tea. Lately, I’ve noticed that there really isn’t a restaurant in Richmond that really makes it good anymore. The only ones that come to mind who makes decent ones are Alleluia, Cattle Cafe, and Joy’s Kitchen in Parker Place. Actually, I really really like Cattle Cafe. They’re […]
Koon Bo is one of those restaurants that if you don’t know about it, you would never think to go there. After all, the location pretty much sucks, the parking sucks, the decor sucks, the waiting area sucks, you get the drift. So why is it so popular? Of course it’s the food. It’s not […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Mom and I haven’t been to dim sum for quite a while since our schedules haven’t been matching up quite as nicely lately. So when a chance finally came we went to one of her favorite places: Golden Sea City. Golden Sea City and its predecessor were favorites of ours. […]
Nothing like grabbing a quick snack at the food court when you are starving. Fast, cheap, goes down fast and hopefully not-so-fast out. Wendy and I decided to pay a trip to Aberdeen Centre’s food court. I believe this is probably the best Asian food court, not because of the food offerings, but because of […]
