Shishinori

Fannypack and I have been at a running club for 3 weeks now, so we’ve been up and down a specific section of the Cambie strip for a while.  Now we’ve noticed a little new Japanese restaurant called Shishinori serving Japanese style cafe-ish food.  So we set a date to have dinner after one of […]

Random Eats – Kyoto

Honestly, while in Japan, I never went into a meal or ate anything because I was hungry.  It was more because I HAD to eat it because I’m IN FREAKIN’ JAPAN.  It may be a while before I come back so I needed to eat everything I wanted to eat. Which will explain the insane […]

Bubble Queen’s 7 Flavor Mochi

EDIT: Just so anyone’s interested, the hours for Bubble Queen are as follows: M-Thu 2-8pm, F-Sat 2-12am, Sun 2-6pm.

Yogurt Escape @ Coronado Island, San Diego

We took a bus from the ferry station to the hotel earlier (they’re at different ends of the island) and while on the bus, M saw a frozen yogurt shop that her manager has mentioned to her. M made a note for us to visit it on our way back. So after visiting the Hotel […]

Tuttimelon Revisited

Update Feb 4, 2011: This restaurant is now closed. After reading some of the comments left on our initial post on Tuttimelon, we decided to go back unannounced to see how service is for “regular” folks :wink:. So I think the main concern was that the Original yogurt was icy and not smooth enough.  Also […]

Yogu-San @ Bellis Fair

On our day of shopping in the States, we happened across a new frozen yogurt place at Bellis Fair.  I thought it’ll be good, since this was the land of the Pinkberrys and the Red Mangos. Yogu-san‘s decor is very, very minimalistic.  Too minimalistic in my opinion.  Their mascot is hella cute though! Oh well, […]
