Irashai Grill & Motomachi Shokudo

We were, like some other bloggers, invited to the Irashai Grill Open House.  All I can say about that was….disappointment and chaos.  It was pretty bad.  More about that later. Obviously, it was so chaotic, messy, disorganized,  over-crowded, chaotic (did I say that already?), that we stayed probably a bit over 30 minutes and decided […]

Bobby G’s Pub

Update: This restaurant has closed. Wendy and I finally ordered the Entertainment Book. We love to wait when the book drops down under $20 to pick it up. The book fully redeems itself in a meal or two. Tonight, we decided to go somewhere we haven’t been before. In search of this, we located Bobby […]

Kyung Bok Palace 景福宮

Update: This restaurant has closed. Kyung Bok Palace of Lansdowne Mall in Richmond had been offering a “5 items for $19.95” menu for quite some time now. I’ve always been meaning to go try it. Finally I went with Fannypack to go try it out for lunch. This menu is offered until 4pm each day. […]

No.1 Shanghai Cuisine 滬上

Update Nov 28, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. There are many types of Chinese cuisine. Tonight, we explored another venue for Shanghain-nese food in the great plains of Richmond. This place calls itself “Number One Shanghai Cuisine”. I don’t know about you guys, but I sure want to find out if in fact they […]

The Jade Seafood Restaurant 玉庭軒

I’ve been very fortunate lately to have at least one weekday off per week to go have dim sum with my mom.  I love going to “yum cha”, and I look forward to it everytime. This particular Monday, we were originally planning to go to Vivavity Restaurant on Alexandra Road.  That seems to be one […]

Toratatsu Tapas Bistro 虎龍

Update: This restaurant has closed. Boyfriend and I had originally planned on going to Motomachi for ramen Wednesday night.  However, once we got there, we found out that it was closed on said day.  We were a bit disappointed, but at the same time I was excited because it finally gave us a chance to […]

Dai Jang Kum 大長今

This has been Boyfriend’s and my favorite Korean restaurant for the longest time.  Even though they advertise BBQ on their exterior, I frequent them for their normal non-BBQ foods. They use to be Wang Gal Bee and I loved them then.  About a year ago they changed name (and hands?) and I was terrified that […]

Greek Food Festival 2008…and Loukoumades…

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 […]

Shanghai House Restaurant 上海人家

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 […]

Noodle Express 中華楼

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 […]
