A couple of weeks ago Wendy and I attended the Ra Energy product launch at Nuba in Kitsilano. Ra Energy is a local company that produces seed mixtures to top your favourite foods with to add texture, flavour, and nutritional value. Ra comes in garlic, plain, and naturally sweet varieties. They teamed up with Nuba […]
I’ve been wanting to try Maenam for a while now since I’m a big fan of all things Thai and was curious about trying Thai food with a gourmet twist, which is exactly what Maenam offers. The first thing I noticed was the warm, inviting atmosphere, made apparent through excellent use of light and colour. […]
While the name might conjure up spooky images of a bad ’80s horror movie or a cheesy black metal band, Anatolia’s Gate is actually a Turkish restaurant offering plenty of delicious and interesting departures from the usual Middle Eastern donairs and such. We’ve stopped by a few times since I first heard about it through […]
I absolutely LOVED, LOVED LOOOOOOOOOVED our first dinner/meal in Japan. As we arrived quite late in the day in Osaka, we decided to spend the night at a hotel near the airport in the city of Shin-Osaka. After we checked in, we walked around in search for food. We were hungry!! Just across the intersection […]
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: This restaurant has moved to a new location. It was another lunch outing with the coworkers. This time we decided to visit a new place (new as in we’ve never been to it before) on Willingdon and Kingsway called Pho Century. From the outside it looks like one of those dirty, dingy places, what, […]
Update Aug 3, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. It has been a while since I’ve been to r.tl. I was first introduced to this restaurant when they held a foodie night early last year. I had a good impression of the place but never got the chance to go back until now, as my […]
Since we were down in San Diego, where there is a prominent Mexican population and restaurant scene, I originally wanted to try a Mexican restaurant. However, some of my companions said that Mexican cuisine smells, so they didn’t want to try it. So to please everyone, I had to pick something else. I thought Spanish […]
So it’s the season for the Night Market again~ Boyfriend and I went on a Sunday night and just had our “dinner” there. Not sure if it’s because of the ‘recession’, but there were a lot less vendors. There were quite a bit of empty tents, so in total there was only about 1.5 to […]
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 […]
