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 […]
Motomachi Shokudo is apparently opened by the same ramen chef that owns/opened Kintaro Ramen. This new restaurant is supposed to be the healthier alternative to the fatty pork fat based Kintaro Ramen. Here the chef uses only organic ingredients and the soup base is made from organic chicken rather than pork fat. As you can […]
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. […]
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 […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. This is a small HK-style dessert shop located on Westminster Highway where Kingspark restaurant is. I like this place because they have a few unusual yummy desserts, one such I am about to show you. The interior is quite small. There’s about 10 tables in total. It’s pretty brightly lit […]
Update: Northern Delicacy is now closed. We’ve been to Northern Delicacy numerous times. It is located in Aberdeen Centre. Did you know that on some maps this area is called “Golden Village”? It was a Monday. I thought the mall would be relatively quiet. Nope. I forgot that is was THANKSGIVING MONDAY. One thing I […]
This location seems to have many change of hands. This time around it became a Shanghai restaurant. The outer decor is left the same, except for obviously the restaurant sign. They’re located on No. 3 Road across from Richmond Centre, in the mall that houses Staples. I have never been inside the previous identities, so […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. We were on a quest to find the next great ramen place. From reading blogs online I decided on two places: Shogun the Sapporo Ramen and Noodle Express, both for cheap and good ramen. First stop was Shogun. However, once we’ve arrived, it turns out this place closes at […]
The best pho soup base for me lately has got to be this place. It’s located between No. 3 Road and Cooney, along Westminster Highway. Between the 3 of us only one ordered pho, but they still gave us a big plate of boiled bean sprouts, basil and lime. Even though it’s not the way […]
Update Jan 13, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. This is a “new” restaurant that’s opened in Union Square along Capstan Way. It’s not actually new, as the owner and the workers are still the same, as is the decor. They just renamed the place and revamped their menu. Like all HK Style cafes, this […]
