Wendy and I spent another day in the Evergreen State looking for pre-Black Friday sales. It was a fun filled day with good food and plenty of shopping gifts for ourselves. To wrap it all up, we took the exit on 253 to give Mallard a try. Wendy actually suggested it twice before but we […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. I learned about Dot Dessert while searching for a Japanese-style dessert place in Vancouver. I was quite happy to know about it, since I really enjoy the parfaits at Chicco and any new places offering the same thing is always welcome. It was especially exciting since it’s not located […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. Pretty Sis read a review of Barefoot Kitchen in the Georgia Straight a while ago and had asked me to go with her. I happily obliged, as it was from the same people of Ichiro Japanese Restaurant, previously blogged about here and here. As forewarned by a coworker, if […]
OH YEAH! Summer is nothing but an excuse for….wait for it…. ICE CREAM! Nothing gets me going like a 2-for-1, BUY 1 GET 1 coupon! Needless to say, Wendy and I were pretty excited to head to Marble Slab once again. We were really headed for Walmart, but Marble Slab was definite on our minds […]
Welcome to yet another review of Richmond’s rich resource in HK style cafes. Today, we present to you Alleluia. It is located on Westminster Hwy., a bit east of No. 3 Rd. The parking situation was alright when we were there (about 7:30 PM) but I know without uncertainty that during lunch times it is […]
After our dinner at Toratatsu, it was still early out so we didn’t want to waste our trip to Downtown and took a walk down Robson. By the time the shops were closing, we were ready for dessert again, so I took them to Chicco. I was introduced to this place many years ago by […]
This dinner was planned for about a month. A few weeks ago I saw the comment in my previous Ichiro Japanese Restaurant review and saw that the commenter did not have a good experience here. That worried me as I had highly recommended it to my coworkers. It was also tediously planned so I really […]
The Crabpot restaurant was introduced to us a couple of years ago by a friend that frequented Washington state because the currency exchange rate was great (for us, Canadians) and diapers were cheaper across the border! Wendy and I decided to try it again on our trip (one of many) to Washington. This time, we […]
Marble Slab Creamery is knockoff of the Cold Slab Creamery from our neighbors down south. It combines the lasting tradition of good ole ice cream, delicious candies and fruit and a fantastic presentation of the mixing process on the ‘marble slab’. Let’s get on with the review! The process is super simple. You select the […]
Update Dec 10, 2010: This restaurant is now closed. Feeling adventurous again, we visited this japanese fusion restaurant hidden in the corner Olympia Centre on Alexandra Road in Richmond (the mall with Mongolie Grill). It’s BonQuLa and we’re happy we found this gem as it is a nice cozy restaurant owned and chefed (is that […]
