Basil Pasta Bar

June 30, 2010

I’ve been to Basil Pasta Bar, a quick restaurant to get a simple Italian fix, a few times now since they opened within the past few months along Davie Street, near Seymour in downtown Vancouver. The concept is simple, inexpensive, and fast! There is the option to choose from either a set menu of House [...]

Temaki Sushi

June 28, 2010

During one of the many stagettes I’ve been to this year (as those of you know who’ve been following me along to all of my destination weddings that go along with them), one of the places we decided to stop at for lunch was Temaki Sushi. There was a group of about eight of us [...]

Two Chefs and a Table

April 3, 2010

Late last week I met up with my friend Vince (who works in the Gastown area) for lunch. We decided to hit up Two Chefs and a Table on Alexander Street, upon his recommendation (I have also heard good things from a couple of others in the past). I wasn’t sure what to expect in [...]

Mix by Ric’s in Whistler Village

March 17, 2010

On Saturday, after a long day of skiing on Whistler the previous day, my body couldn’t handle going back up the mountain again (okay, so it could be because I haven’t gotten any exercise lately and only skied twice this season). So after walking through the Village for awhile and doing a little bit of [...]

Spices Vietnamese Cuisine on Cambie

March 8, 2010

My first ‘regular’ meal out after being hit with a stomach virus for a week was scary. I figured I needed to take it slow and ease myself back into my usual fare. What better way then to have some soup! Okay, so maybe pho and Vietnamese food wouldn’t be quite as bland as I [...]

Pourhouse Restaurant in Vancouver’s Gastown

February 2, 2010

On the weekend a large group of us (fifteen to be exact) felt like finding any excuse to go for a dinner together (we officially called it our friend’s ‘going away to India for a month’ outing – yes, that’s right – a month). So after doing a little calling around earlier last week, a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
