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 [...]

Red Card Sports Bar in Downtown Vancouver

January 8, 2010

Last night I was heading out to my first Canucks game of the season last minute (I found out in the afternoon), and needed to come up with a place to have a quick dinner before walking over to GM Place. I was asking around for some suggestions, and a co-worker mentioned that I should try [...]

Nuba Cafe in Yaletown (Seymour Street)

January 5, 2010

One of the places I often go for takeout in the Yaletown area is Nuba Cafe. While there is another Nuba Restaurant in the downtown area on West Hastings, I have never been to the original larger location. Last night, I decided to go back there again because while I had originally intended to cook dinner last [...]

Cactus Club Cafe in Yaletown

January 4, 2010

The other night I wasn’t prepared to cook dinner since I was feeling a bit lazy, and decided to wander down to the Cactus Club in Yaletown (on Davie Street) to grab a bite to eat. It was already getting close to 8 pm, and both my boyfriend and I were super hungry and wanted to [...]

Cafe Medina in Crosstown

December 23, 2009

On the weekend there was something that I was really craving, and that was the lavendar latte and Fricasse at Cafe Medina, on Beatty Street in the Crosstown area of downtown Vancouver. So on Sunday afternoon, after waking up super late with the day already half over, we managed to make our way over there by [...]

Salsa and Agave Mexican Grill in Yaletown

December 21, 2009

I’ve walked by Salsa & Agave in Yaletown probably a million times, but had never taken the time to check it out yet. It’s very small with only a few tables inside (probably seating under 16 people), but it does always seem to be full. I decided to make an effort to venture this way since I’d been [...]

Kintaro Ramen Noodle in the West End

December 15, 2009

A couple of my co-workers decided recently to meet up regularly once a month for lunch on Friday at somewhere that we haven’t tried before. For our inaugural lunch, we decided to go to Kintaro Ramen Noodle in the West End of downtown Vancouver on Denman Street near Robson. A couple of us had heard many, many great things about [...]
