Tangthai Cuisine of Thailand on Robson Street

January 31, 2010

Last week I met up with Kim from I’m Only Here for the Food! again for lunch, along with a couple of my other friends. We were aiming to try another Thai place that would be more authentic than others in Vancouver, so we went to the recently opened Tangthai Cuisine of Thailand restaurant on [...]

The Naam Vegetarian Restaurant in Kitsilano

January 29, 2010

So I’ve had several vegetarian (and non-vegetarian) friends of mine tell me about The Naam Restaurant in Kitsilano, and I just never tried it yet. So this morning, my girlfriend Sabrina (Become the Voice) asked me if I wanted to join her, as she was heading that way and needed to drop off her dog [...]

Phnom Penh Vietnamese and Cambodian Restaurant in Vancouver’s Chinatown

January 28, 2010

I’ve been trying to get to Phnom Penh Vietnamese and Cambodian restaurant in Chinatown for ages now. I’ve heard about it around a zillion times, and I just haven’t seemed to venture there yet. I’m not sure what had been been stopping me, but I needed to put an end to the waiting, and decided [...]

Provence Marinaside French Restaurant in Yaletown

January 26, 2010

I used to go to Provence Marinaside (the Yaletown location – the Mediterranean Grill is in Kits) at least once every other week for brunch, but for whatever reason, I haven’t made it there for the past few months. It’s strange how that happened, so I was extra excited this past Sunday when I finally [...]

East is East on West Broadway in Kitsilano

January 25, 2010

Let’s get something straight right away here – if you are going to East is East for dinner, you will not be able to drink any alcohol. They are not licensed and do not serve anything with booze in it (although they have many different smoothies and chai teas that look like they would be [...]

Milestones Grill and Bar in Yaletown

January 24, 2010

I was venturing around Yaletown again on a Sunday morning – okay, more like afternoon – and was trying to figure out what I was going to have for brunch. Again, I was thinking of the classic eggs benny that I often order, and wanted to go somewhere that I could get it quickly and [...]

My Favourite Vancouver Restaurants for Birthday Dinners

January 23, 2010

I have gotten asked this question quite a few times lately, so I figured it might make sense to create a post to answer this that I can just update regularly and point people to in future. Of course, it’s always best to still discuss each individual situation, since there are certain things that I [...]

Don Francesco Italian Restaurant on Burrard Street

January 22, 2010

It was time again for another monthly lunch with two of my foodie friends. I find it to sometimes be difficult seeking out great places that are open for lunch and not just dinner, so we had a hard time picking a new restaurant for this meal out. One of my friends has been going [...]

Bao Bei in Vancouver’s Chinatown

January 20, 2010

I was having a particularly bad day yesterday and just felt groggy and completely not myself, so was in need of what I would call comfort food (to me, it’s anything Asian that tastes good). I called up a girlfriend and forced myself out of the house, instead of just staying and wallowing at home [...]

Market by Jean-Georges at the Shangri-La Hotel in Vancouver

January 19, 2010

We were wandering around trying to find a brunch place late on Sunday after running to the theatre to buy advance tickets to finally see the movie Avatar, and couldn’t find anything that was either a) still serving breakfast or b) somewhere that we felt like eating. I was also extra indecisive that day (read: [...]
