Kyung Bok Palace 景福宮

Update: This restaurant has closed. Kyung Bok Palace of Lansdowne Mall in Richmond had been offering a “5 items for $19.95” menu for quite some time now. I’ve always been meaning to go try it. Finally I went with Fannypack to go try it out for lunch. This menu is offered until 4pm each day. […]

Original Joe’s Cambie

Today was Cambie street’s All-Access party…I think it’s to celebrate the reopening of Cambie Street.  However, it doesn’t seem like it actually IS reopened…since construction was going on. A bunch of coworkers and I went to join the party after work.  Honestly, it wasn’t much of a party.  However, we went to Original Joe’s for […]

No.1 Shanghai Cuisine 滬上

Update Nov 28, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. There are many types of Chinese cuisine. Tonight, we explored another venue for Shanghain-nese food in the great plains of Richmond. This place calls itself “Number One Shanghai Cuisine”. I don’t know about you guys, but I sure want to find out if in fact they […]

Halong Bay Vietnamese Restaurant

Update Jun 10, 2009: This restaurant has since closed down I’ve had this stashed in my pictures folder for the longest time.  I’ve just never came around to blogging them (as you might be able to tell from the last picture, the business card was taken with a Christmas Card backdrop!!!) This is a nice […]

Pearl Castle 圓香

Turns out my coworkers GRock and L1 are fans of Pearl Castle 圓香 also, even though they live in Vancouver.  So we went for BBT dinner one Friday night.  I HAD to introduce GRock to Pearl Castle’s Milk Hotpot. This was it- the Milk Seafood Hotpot.  GRock and L weren’t expecting much from it.  In […]

Dai Jang Kum 大長今

This has been Boyfriend’s and my favorite Korean restaurant for the longest time.  Even though they advertise BBQ on their exterior, I frequent them for their normal non-BBQ foods. They use to be Wang Gal Bee and I loved them then.  About a year ago they changed name (and hands?) and I was terrified that […]

Pho Thai Hoa 泰和 Richmond

Update Feb 15, 2014: This restaurant has since shut down. This is officially my new favorite pho place.  They are cheap, delicious, and their service is wonderful!! The location we went to is their second store, located in Richmond.  It is in Union Square on Capstan Way, and the restaurant is at a corner across […]

Saffron Indian Cuisine

Saffron Indian Cuisine – Lunch Buffet

Having heard good things about the lunch buffet at Saffron, I dragged Boyfriend out to Burnaby on a Monday afternoon to try it out. It was relatively easy to find, located on Kingsway.  Once you step into the restaurant you are surrounded by the wonderful aroma of Indian cooking. There’s a bigger selection at this […]

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 […]

Late Night @ Lam Chu Kee 林柱記

Update Feb 28, 2011: This restaurant is now closed. One of our favorite Cantonese late night places is this place.  It is located in Continental Centre on Hazelbridge. 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 […]
