Pho Century

Update: This restaurant has moved to a new location. It was another lunch outing with the coworkers.  This time we decided to visit a new place (new as in we’ve never been to it before) on Willingdon and Kingsway called Pho Century.  From the outside it looks like one of those dirty, dingy places, what, […]

陽光屋 Sunshine Cafe

L and I really felt like have bubble tea after work one weekend.  She really wanted to go to Crystal Mall.  However, I was scared.  It was the weekend.  At Crystal Mall.  But I sucked it up and drove there.  However after walking around the food court a few times, we still couldn’t pick anything, […]

Dine Out Vancouver 2010: Seasons in the Park

Time for Dine Out again!  I thought I’ll quickly churn out this post while there’s still some time left for those of you that are looking for reviews before choosing a restaurant. This time, Mom chose Seasons in the Park as she really enjoyed it last time and it was close to Pretty Sis’ birthday. […]

Benkei Ramen on Thurlow

Update: This location is now closed. I find that the Thurlow location of Benkei more convenient, as it’s closer to the Canada Line station so it’s within easy walking distance. I don’t quite remember if the old location had these two types of soup on their menu, but I’m pretty sure Shiro isn’t on there. […]

Misoya Ramen

Update Dec 3, 2012: This restaurant is now closed. I think I’ve seen this Misoya Ramen before but just didn’t remember it until I saw them advertised in the current issue of Klip magazine.  They currently have a coupon in there for a Ramen and Gyoza combo for $10. It is not very big in […]

Xi’An Cuisine 西安小吃 @ Richmond Public Market

Richmond Public Market is probably one of the worst managed “shopping centres” in the Lower Mainland.  It kinda reminds me of a wet market in Hong Kong where you’re sure that’s rodents and other things scurrying right under your feet.  The lower level tenants probably has it the worst.  They had to put up tarp […]

Aoyama Cafe

Update Jan 8, 2014: This restaurant is now closed. For O’s birthday she wanted to eat at the new Aoyama Cafe at Aberdeen Centre.  They advertise that they serve the Japanese brand of UCC Coffee’s, and that the LA branch was voted top 5 coffee shops over there.  Naturally, all of this makes you think […]

Coco Hut Singapore Restaurant 椰林餐廳

After Ellie shut down, Boyfriend and I have been trying to look for a new yummy laksa restaurant.  We did end up finding a suitable version at Cafe D’Lite.  But one day on our way to Pho Thai Hoa, I caught a glimpse of a restaurant called Coco Hut.  I got really excited as I […]

Sushi Hachi 鮨八 Richmond

Sushi Hachi is one of those local gems that has received lots of rave reviews due to their homely atmosphere, and simple, comfort food that is familiar to Japanese and non-Japanese alike. They have the staples of Japanese cuisine that’s known and loved all over, like California Rolls, Cones, Tempura, and the more adventurous, authentically […]

Sensus Bistro: Pork Cartilage Ramen

Update Jan 28, 2011: This restaurant is now closed. As I said before the next dish I wanted to try at Sensus Bistro was the Pork Cartilage Ramen.  I finally got the chance to try it. This was $7.95 and it’s quite a large portion size.  The soup looks flavorful and it was, it didn’t […]
