Over the May long weekend Hitman and I went to the island for a mini vacation. He’s lived his childhood here so he was a great tour guide, showing me his childhood hangouts and whatnot, and telling me all about the shenanigans he’s caused with his friends back then ;P Along the way to his […]
One of the must-visit streets of Kyoto is Nishiki 錦市場, which is basically a long wet-market corridor. It’s mostly food, seafood and produce sold here but they have some souvenir shops also. But mostly, just food. Nishiki, and Kyoto, are known for their preserved pickled vegetables. The Japanese (and Asian) version of pickles are more […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. It was Mom’s birthday this month so Pretty Sis and I took her and some other family members to a place interestingly called Cork and Fin in Gastown. I guess by that name it means they specialize in wines and seafood?? They are a participant of the Let’s Go […]
I’ve always liked Water St. Cafe in Gastown. It is a relatively affordable restaurant with a nice atmosphere and good food. This year they’re celebrating their 21st anniversary so they were offering a Whole Lobster entree for just $20. I of course took advantage of this.

Phnom Penh is a Cambodian/Vietnamese restaurant, but they also make food from other regions too as you shall see. […]
After Granville Island Pretty Sis and I went back to Yaletown for some food. As we weren’t very hungry anymore and it was not yet 6pm, we hurried to Rodney’s for some Lowtide $1.50 oysters. They offer a variety of items from 3-6pm for a lower price. We were here specifically for the oysters but […]
Update May 2, 2011: This restaurant is now closed. It was dinner with Fannypack again today. As usual, I had to pick the place to go to. Having passed by Negative Space Chinese Restaurant at Pacific Plaza one day on my way to Berry Good, I chose that place. It is located right at the […]
Kingsway Sushi has recently become my favorite place for All-you-can-eat (AYCE) japanese (albeit chinese-made) food. They have quality fresh sashimi and a decent selection of items in their Deluxe Dinner menu. It was a Saturday so the place was packed. Good thing we made reservations, but still we waited for about 15 minutes. Those without […]
