Pho Central on Davie Street

February 26, 2010

The night before my mom left Vancouver to fly back to Hawaii, we decided we wanted something simple and fast to eat in the evening. That way, there would be no need for grocery shopping, and we could still hopefully grab a bite that wouldn’t take us too far away from our home base. I’d [...]

Kirin Downtown Vancouver

February 24, 2010

I haven’t been to dim sum for ages. I’m not quite sure why, but it could be that a lot of the people I’m around get up somewhat late, and prefer to have breakfast food around lunchtime instead of anything more exotic. For me, breakfast food can be anything Asian as well, and I actually [...]

Steamrollers in Yaletown

February 22, 2010

Yesterday we were rushing around, trying to get to the LiveCity Downtown Olympic venue to watch the Canada versus USA men’s hockey qualifier game. Beyond being absolutely starving and in a hurry, we were navigating through massive crowds on a bustling Sunday afternoon through Yaletown and we needed something stat to get us through the [...]

NFA Underground Restaurant

Disclosure: When invited, we were extended a discount on our dinner for this visit. The cost is normally $50 per person. During all of the Olympic festivities happening in Vancouver, us dedicated food bloggers still managed to set up a night out for dinner together this past week. Jonathan from Food and Tell was contacted [...]

Yopo Cafe in Yaletown

February 18, 2010

My mom has come to town for a week-long visit during the Olympics (it’s so very exciting for me to show her around during all of the craziness in my own neighbourhood!) and we wanted some quick and simple food close by for lunch the other day. I remember a girlfriend of mine has gotten [...]

Kaide Sushi

February 16, 2010

First of all I’d just like to say Congratulations to Canada’s Alex Bilodeau for winning the first Olympic gold medal on Canadian soil last night! I was lucky enough to get invited to the Men’s Moguls event last minute, and was so excited to be able to enjoy the experience of being there during that [...]

Mis Trucos on Davie Street

February 15, 2010

On Saturday, I spent the day wandering through the streets in Yaletown and checking out all of the tents and festivities that were going on during Day 2 of the Vancouver Olympics. It was great to see such a mass of people collecting in the downtown core and having such a great time. After spending [...]

Shiro Japanese Restaurant on Cambie

February 14, 2010

Shiro is one of those great sushi restaurants in Vancouver that I used to frequent at least once a week when I lived a few blocks away on Cambie Street a few years back (its located in a strip mall near 15th Ave). I was definitely a regular there and couldn’t get enough of the [...]

Corner Suite Bistro de Luxe in Downtown Vancouver

February 12, 2010

At lunchtime yesterday, I managed to make it out with a couple of friends to the newly opened Corner Suite restaurant in downtown Vancouver (at Thurlow and Smithe). While they just opened last Friday (February 5th), they started a lunch service earlier this week. When walking up to the building, we noticed some baby blue [...]

La Taqueria in Downtown Vancouver

February 10, 2010

After heading out to lunch with my friend last week that I hadn’t seen in awhile, we made plans to meet up again earlier this week to La Taqueria, located near Gastown at the corner of West Hastings and Hamilton Street. There has been a bit of buzz about this small taco shop lately, and [...]
