It had been forever since I’ve had Cantonese barbequed crispy pork and roast duck ever since my parents and I moved out of Richmond. I had a craving for it so took DaddyO out for lunch and he suggested Chinatown BBQ in…well, Chinatown! My parents regularly pick up roast pork or roast duck from this place, so […]
The Saturday that we were in the Okanagan was a special day for AngryRussian and I, so we left our friends and headed to the Restaurant at Poplar Grove Winery (website) for a special dinner. Poplar Grove Winery is situated on a hill that overlooks the rest of Penticton. We were seated right by the floor to […]
Royal Dinette was one of our two $40 picks this dine out season. In 2016 they were voted “Best New Restaurant” in Vancouver Magazine and also “Best New Restaurant in Canada” in enRoute Magazine, so that sounds promising right?! I really liked the ambiance of Royal Dinette…they had a really warm glow and a very […]
Kicking off Dine Out Vancouver this year for us was Biercraft Bistro. I had always wanted to try Biercraft but always forgot about them, so when I saw that they were participating in Dine Out and offering a $30 menu, it was a go! The appetizer version of Biercraft’s Salt Spring Island Marinier Mussel and Kennebec Frites […]
I had originally wanted to take AngryRussian to Hee Rae Dang for his first non-Korean-BBQ-Korean dinner experience. However it was just our luck that Hee Rae Dang was closed for renovations until- get this- the next day, so we kind of just walked around the area where Insadong is located and then I settled on […]
One of my running days with Fannypack is on Sundays. It just so happens that every Sunday, there’s a Food Cart Fest Vancouver held at the Olympic Village. So naturally we made plans to go after our weekly Sunday morning run. It costs $2 to enter unless you’re a certain demographic (Vancity member or food […]
No, this restaurant is not a white man’s take on Thai cuisine. Bob Likes Thai Food is actually run by a Mr. Tai Keattivanichvily, and seems to have got its name as randomly as I got mine (for those wondering, I was wearing a red tie/white shirt get-up for work once, and combined with my […]
Once in a while, I get a hankering for some good old Hong Kong comfort food. These foods come in the form of fried noodles, congee, baked spaghetti, etc., just a smorgasbord of items all accompanied by ice-cold Hong Kong style milk tea, coffee, or a mix of both (a wonderful invention from my culture). […]
There are a lot of little eateries in the States that get famous by word-of-mouth. Paseo Caribbean Restaurant is definitely one of them. Mom and I were told by Cousin D to visit this place, and to visit it early. So the next morning, Aunt Aggy, Uncle Walken, Mom and I woke up (relatively) early […]
A friend of mine has been pointing out lately the lack of Filipino food on our site, so this one’s for you pandeSally. Fliptop Filipino Fusion food truck (Phew! Try saying that five times fast. Or just once for that matter!) came onto our radar a month or so ago, but since they tend to […]
