We were fortunate to come across a pretty good deal on LivingSocial for our hotel stay for this Victoria trip. Hitman and I got a pretty nice room at the Executive House Hotel in downtown Victoria. It was within walking distance to pretty much everything (unless you’re in heels like I was…then it was excruciating […]
Anyone else went to the Surrey Fusion Fest over the summer? It was held over the weekend of July 16-17 and it’s basically a mini world cuisine/cultural event that included many food stalls and cultural presentations such as Korean drumming, belly-dancing, etc. The big-ticket event was the 9pm show Sunday night featuring Jay Sean. Bedouin […]
Been wanting to try foods of a different culture for a while. Finally my chance came when I went to dinner with GRock. He gave me 3 choices: Korean, Ramen, or African. I picked African right away. So that became Simba’s Grill on Denman (they also have a location in Burnaby). Apparently another coworker had […]
Update Jan 8, 2014: This restaurant is now closed. For O’s birthday she wanted to eat at the new Aoyama Cafe at Aberdeen Centre. They advertise that they serve the Japanese brand of UCC Coffee’s, and that the LA branch was voted top 5 coffee shops over there. Naturally, all of this makes you think […]
After Ellie shut down, Boyfriend and I have been trying to look for a new yummy laksa restaurant. We did end up finding a suitable version at Cafe D’Lite. But one day on our way to Pho Thai Hoa, I caught a glimpse of a restaurant called Coco Hut. I got really excited as I […]
Update Nov 14, 2013: This restaurant has moved from the location indicated in this post. Malaysian food has always served me well. I like the seasoning and the spiciness that comes with most of its dishes. The Tom Yum Gong soup has an unbelievably great flavor that keeps me coming back to it. We decided […]
Update Sep 13, 2010: This restaurant is now closed. In the sea of Asian restaurants in Richmond, it may be difficult to find one to return to on a regular basis. My mom and her friends love to try every HK style cafe in the city as they pop up one by one. The best […]
This would be the first post ever of us doing some home cooking!! Mind you not entirely from scratch but it’s the closest to home cooking we’ve done ever. We like Indian food. I especially enjoy Korma. A couple years ago we found that Superstore’s President’s Choice has come out with a series of Indian […]
Update May 18, 2009: This restaurant has since closed down 😥 OMG. I’ve found the BEST LAKSA EVER (on this side of the world anyways…). I’ve always wanted to go to Ellie to try their paper hotpot. However now that I’m here, I’ve realized that they’ve increased their pricing and now I find it a […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. I’m in a Vietnamese binge lately. Every day I crave pho. This is another restaurant that I frequent, but that was before I discovered Pho Thai Hoa. They are located in Continental Square (Centre? Plaza?) on Cambie in Richmond. Their previous location was in the little mall where Staples on No. […]
