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 […]

Anthony’s Restaurant at Squalicum Harbor

Welcome to the last part of our US Day Trip Trilogy.  After our short and sweet visits to Burger King and Auntie Anne’s, we wrapped up our trip with a visit to Anthony’s Restaurant.  It is located in Downtown Bellingham! (Yes, there’s such a thing!)  Honestly, I think that without a GPS, it would’ve been […]

Ichiro Japanese Restaurant w/ Friends

This dinner was planned for about a month.  A few weeks ago I saw the comment in my previous Ichiro Japanese Restaurant review and saw that the commenter did not have a good experience here.  That worried me as I had highly recommended it to my coworkers.  It was also tediously planned so I really […]

Ajijiman @ Aberdeen Centre

Update: This restaurant has closed. Where in Richmond can you have a bowl of ramen along with a refreshing HK-style iced milk tea? Mom and I deviated from our weekly ritual of going to dim sum by not going to dim sum.  Instead we went to Aberdeen Centre’s food court for lunch. I really like […]

Ikkyu Ramen Ten 一休拉麵店 is a No!No!No!!

Update: This restaurant has closed. Feeling like ramen, while waiting for dad’s surgery to be done, I searched on google to see if there’s a nearby ramen place without having to go to Downtown.  I found Ikkyu Ramen Ten and decided to go there for lunch/early dinner afterwards. It turned out to be actually quite […]

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 […]

Bean Flower 台灣豆花專賣店

Update Jan 20, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. Having to drive pass Crystal Mall everyday to work, one can’t help but notice the food shops that are situated outside.  One such that caught my eye was Bean Flower, which specializes in Taiwanese tofu pudding. I love tofu pudding, especially freshly made ones.  There’s a […]

Nobusan Japanese Tapas-Bar

Update Sep 21, 2009: This restaurant has since shut down. Nobusan is a recently opened restaurant located on what Wendy and I call “Road of Hell”, aka. Richmond’s No.3 Rd.  The Canada Line construction has made driving almost intolerable.  If you are to get to this restaurant, you must be heading south to get into […]

Pho 99 Vietnamese Noodle House – Richmond

Again this was another post I’ve put off posting for a while for no particular reason. My mom received a VIP card for this place, resulting in 10% discount on our meals.  So Boyfriend and I decided to try this place out. Apparently Pho 99 already has 2 other locations in BC, both of them […]
