I’ve heard a lot about Beaucoup Bakery & Cafe, especially in magazines. However it wasn’t until recently when GRock’s friend started working there as a baker that I’ve succumbed to lots more praises and recommendations from GRock. The final nail in the coffin was when GRock showed me a picture of this magical looking poached […]
A & W has been slowly revamping their menu at certain locations with slightly more “upscale” fast food offerings like yam fries and veggie burgers as well as adding actual dishware for dine-in to compliment their traditional frosted glass mugs. Their latest additions are various grilled cheese sandwiches and poutines which I set out to […]
After months and months of pestering I finally agreed to take the drive down to Port Kells (Surrey area) to visit the notorious Sandwich Nazi at La Charcuterie Deli. Hitman’s been there multiple times before and raved of the humor and amount of food you get for less than $10. Less than $8 to be […]
Update: This restaurant is closed. For the month of August, The Urban Tea Merchant is offering a petite afternoon tea service for $20 per person. Now afternoon teas are never enough food for a guy so I made Fannypack go experience this with me. The regular price for this service is usually $28. Now I’m […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I LOVE PHO!!!! So when I found a good pho place close to home, I was ecstatic. I noticed that a good pho broth is hard to find nowadays…most places are either not concentrated enough or it’s much too sweet. Maxima seems to have a good […]
DD Mau is a little gourmet banh mi place in Yaletown. I guess its location validates the high prices they charge…in any other regular Vietnamese restaurant, a banh mi is at the most $4.75. Hitman first heard of this place from reading about it in a newspaper, and he was very excited as they offer […]
Update: This restaurant as closed. Wendy and I had a pho craving while out shopping in the Edmonds area and decided to give Kim Anh a shot. They serve Vietnamese cuisine alongside Canadian diner fare which I suppose could be considered a bit of a red flag but the appetite-inducing photos in the windows beckoned […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Armed with a WagJag voucher, Hitman and I hit up Magda’s Restaurant on Fraser as Hitman was very interested in trying authentic Latin/Venezuelan food and looking up reviews, that seems to be the case here. Magda’s certainly has a very warm family restaurant feel to it. The servers were very […]
Hmm I do wonder how many people actually are interested in airplane food. Well I’m sure there’s some of you out there… I’ve always had the impression that JAL has pretty good airplane food. And I was half right. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal during the flight to Japan. It could be due to the […]
I’m sure McDonald’s is a guilty pleasure for a lot of people. I personally enjoy them once in a while (perhaps more than once~!) and I honestly have no ill-will towards them. After all, you KNOW what you are putting into your body when you go there. And as long as you indulge within reason […]
