Kam’s Place – Singaporean Restaurant on Davie

November 30, 2009

Today I tried out a restaurant at lunchtime that I’ve never been before.  I’ve heard from a few that this place is quite a bit better at dinner, so we’ll have to take this into consideration with my review (and I’ll have to try it out for dinner another time). There was a very inexpensive lunch [...]

A Taste of Azia in Downtown Vancouver

November 29, 2009

On Friday I went for lunch with several co-workers, and decided to go to a place nearby the office that we hadn’t been to for awhile – Azia – in the Scotiabank Theatre building in downtown Vancouver. I have been a few times now, for both lunches and dinners, and have found that the food is [...]

Coast Seafood Restaurant: From Coast to Coast

November 27, 2009

Yesterday, I went to lunch with a couple of female co-workers and we decided to head over to Coast Restaurant in their newer location on Alberni. I’m not sure if it was what I chose to eat, but I think I liked the food at the old Yaletown spot better.  Somehow, even though the atmosphere was larger and [...]

A Tapastree of Flavours in the West End

November 26, 2009

It was Wednesday night, and what better way is there to get over the mid-week hump than by trying a new restaurant? After aiming to go to a newer place in town and not being able to get in so last minute, we decided on trying out Tapastree, which I’ve heard from many friends before is a must-try. They’ve been [...]

Juno Vancouver Sushi Bistro – A Definite Hidden Gem

November 25, 2009

Today I went back to a small newer Japanese restaurant for lunch (I’ve been a few times now), and I remembered how great it was all over again.  The place is called Juno – it’s located right downtown on Davie between Seymour and Richards, and I’m not sure why more people don’t know about it!  It’s got [...]

Dan Pablo Gourmet Restaurant – Ambar Resort Food Redeemed?

November 24, 2009

So the gourmet restaurant on our last night at the resort managed to help redeem the food experience for us – at least a little bit.  This helped carry us through to the final day of our trip, and re-energized our spirits after a long diving trip to the other side of the island (Catalina).  [...]

You Know You’re Having a Bad Food Experience When…

November 16, 2009

So I’m now in Punta Cana,  Dominican Republic, on vacation and while I was eating one of the worst meals of my life, I had an idea for this post. This is basically my experience last night dining at a Mediterranean à la carte restaurant called “El Olivo” at the Gran Bahia Principe Ambar. I mean, I [...]

Society Dining Lounge Yaletown – Unpredictable or Awkward?

November 13, 2009

Tuesday was a fun and crazy night in Vancouver – and the fact that I was able to eat a meal at a new place didn’t hurt either! It’s a bit late for me to be putting up this post, but I figure I have a pretty good excuse since I’m still trying to recover [...]

Make Larb Tonight

November 9, 2009

So one of my all-time favourite Thai dishes that most people have not yet tried is called larb (pronounced kind of like ’la-ab’). I grew up with this dish (as I was extremely lucky and not only is my mom Thai, but an AMAZING cook) and it’s something that I like more and more each time [...]

Congee Noodle House – Great Comfort Food

November 6, 2009

When I feel like I’m coming down with a cold or the weather becomes more rainy in the fall (as you know it always does here in Vancouver), one thing that I always crave is congee (rice soup). It’s one of those great Asian comfort foods that can somehow help you feel better with each and every warm [...]
