Its so nice to see Vandelay back working in Downtown. For awhile there, I had lost my "go-to" dining companion for Downtown eats. Wait. Theres still Whipping Girl, but I always forget about h...
Usually, whenever Rich Guy and I meet up for eats, it doesnt come cheap. After all, Rich Guy is well-known for avoiding diners, drive-ins and dives... Im sure he is not a Guy Fieri fan. Too bad reall...
Dont you love a restaurant that just doesnt look right from the outside? Im not talking about something that necessarily looks sketch or anything. Rather, the place doesnt look representative of the ...
Sometimes food in weird places can be a real selling point. For instance, lets put a restaurant in the shadiest part of town and people will flock to it. Hey, for it to be located there, it must be g...
"Do you wanna go for lunch?", asked Rich Guy over MSN. Do dogs sniff their rear ends and lick their balls? Uh, could there be a more rhetorical question? However, the place he suggested made ...
Ill admit it. When I received an invite to try out Orus new revamped menu, I was slightly hesitant. After all, the place had some pretty dubious reviews strewn all over the internet. In fact, Whippin...
When it opened 2 years ago, we had tried out Fraser Courts Dim Sum service and it was pretty decent. However, we never had a chance to sample their dinner menu. Normally, wed do that pretty soon afte...
Sometimes I wonder if there is ever much thought put into naming a restaurant. There is the "lets name it after the street" approach such as Kingsway Deli, Slocan Restaurant and The Main. I r...
A couple of weeks ago, the hockey team tried to grab some dessert a Breka Bakery at a relatively early hour. Well, the place was packed and that plan fizzled before it even started. We decided to hig...
Normally, Im not really in the mood for Indian food outside of Surrey. Why? Well, you would be hard-pressed to find the combination of value and good Indian eats anywhere else. Sure, there is decent ...
*Contest is now closed* Congrats to Patricia Z! Okay, I dont blog on weekends anymore, but when Lays contacted me about a giveaway, I decided to share it with my readers. Lay’s is excited to launch t...
Location, location, location. Thats what we hear all the time. It can be about buying a house and it also can mean where you should run a business. Actually, it could also mean where not to go if you...
April 23rd? Thats quite the early date for the beginning of softball season. The last couple of years, the first game has been rained out leaving us without any game to play. Oh, but we still went ou...
Ever since my visit to Bamboo Grove during the CRA media restaurant tour, Ive wanted to go back for a complete meal. After all, this little restaurant surprised me with its tasty food. Never would I ...
Okay, Ill admit it. I committed a major transgression. No, its not something that I need to keep a secret from Viv. In fact, she was right there with me. And get your mind outta the gutter! What we d...
It goes without saying that we are truly spoiled silly in Vancouver when it comes to Dim Sum. So many choices in so many different price points. Sure, there are the occasional WTF joints in town, but...
Wait. This is Saturday... Why is there a post? Well, I felt compelled to continue the discussion regarding Crawfish King. You see, there have been some people on Twitter in addition to other various ...
I dont know where to begin... If youve been reading this blog for a while, you will see that I rarely rip into a restaurant (Kawawa and Po King are the exceptions). I try my best to be fair and forgi...
Having eaten 3 meals that were non-Asian, we broke down and went back to the well. It is true we had made a vow to eat something other than Asian food on our little getaway to Seattle, but we just co...
As many times as weve visited Seattle, weve never checked out the Museum of Flight. Weve surely passed by it many a time while heading further South. Seeing how weve practically done all the "tou...
Whenever were traveling with the kids, we do some serious planning when it comes to eats. After all, I doubt theyd be particularly happy about eating raw beef at an Ethiopian restaurant (but I would!...
"Yah really, they throw fish there!". My kids were in disbelief that someone would actually throw a whole salmon 20 feet to a willing recipient. Call it a gimmick, but the kids wanted to see ...
Bad influences... You know - those people who affect your judgement for the worse. These include pushers, infomercial pitchmen or pitchwomen, tailgaters and/or anyone that works at a donut shop. But ...
In a city full of different cultures, it is no surprise we have our fair share of fusion restaurants. Of course, the word "fusion" itself is polarizing. You have the purists crying foul while...
With the large Filipino population in the GVRD, it is somewhat surprising that there are so few Filipino restaurants. I posed this question to Rich Guy and Rich Gal (she is from the Philippines) in h...
If we can refer to Kingsway as the Banh Mi Highway or "AutoBanh", then North Road should be considered Jap Chaeway (that is a really bad pun I know...). With so many choices for Korean food a...
Where? A Neapolitan pizza joint on Victoria in a predominantly residential area??? Thats what I thought when my sister-in-law mentioned it to me in passing. This was actually over a month ago when Vi...
Other than softball season, I dont make it out to Kitsilano very often. However, we were in the neighbourhood and an eating opportunity awaited us. From all the great choices, we settled on Hi-Nippon...
Unless you live in Surrey or you really love to travel for food, youd never know about the Guildford T&T food court. I like to call it the mini-mini version of the Crystal Mall food court, except...
Ah yes, I remember Cindys Palace. This is the place my mother-in-law refused to do a re-visit. There is a story behind this. You see, she had asked Viv to go out for Dim Sum one day. Instead of going...
