I was told of Tealips cafe by Awkward Diner a while ago. I was so happy to find that there was a dessert waffle place so close to me. I quickly brought Hitman to try it out with me on a few occasions, for dessert AND for lunch. Our first visit was for dessert after […]
OMG! 4 down 1 to go!! It’s nearing the end of my DOVF dash. I must say it’s been going good so far. I met up with GRock and LockerBud who I’ve known for 23 years. LockerBud and I go way back. Like waaaaaay back. We lived across from each other when we were young […]
L’Abattoir has successfully cinched its place in my heart for favorite restaurant. Honestly, I’ve never thought I would name one as my favorite, but L’Abattoir has done just that. I made Fannypack come with me for their $38 Dine Out Vancouver menu. In my opinion this was one of the better bang-for-your-buck restaurants as an […]
Near the end of a grey, cloudy day Wendy and I ascended to The Observatory for our first Dine Out Vancouver meal of 2014 on the Skyride from the base of Grouse Mountain. To our wonderment when the tram broke through the clouds we were treated to an absolutely stunning sunset of epic proportions, with […]
It’s very difficult to get Fannypack to make a choice…with me anyways. However for her birthday I finally got her to choose a place to eat. She ended up picking U & I Thai in Cambie so a date was set! We were supposed to pick a dish each but I of course ended up picking […]

Ra Energy is a local company that produces seed mixtures to top your favourite foods with to add texture, flavour, and nutritional value. Ra comes in garlic, plain, and naturally sweet varieties. They teamed up with Nuba […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Before we get to Handi Cuisine of India I’d like to say a few words about lazymeal. For those of you not yet familiar with lazymeal, it’s an online food ordering platform that is focused on recommending the tastiest meals in greater Vancouver. It’s simple, just punch in your postal […]
Woohoo!!! Mr. ESL is getting married!!! To commemorate his last days as a bachelor Ms. Awkward Diner organized a fantastical and super fun stag for him. It all started with dinner at The Irish Heather. Or was it the Salty Tongue?? I say this because although we had reservations at The Irish Heather, we were […]
I was pretty surprised and excited when my Dad told me that there’s a place called Bo Laksa King which serves traditional Myanmar cuisine here in Vancouver. Up until quite recently Myanmar has been very closed off to the world and so I didn’t know we had any sort of Burmese community here. But, Vancouver […]
One day on our way to Bo Laksa King’s we drove by the bright yellow awning of Tamam. Hitman caught the text reading “Fine Palestinian Cuisine” and we were instantly intrigued. We took a look at their menu online, and found enough items of interest so we made a date to go there for lunch. […]
