Yaletown L’Antipasto

December 21, 2011

Over the weekend, I went with a girlfriend to the newly opened small restaurant in Yaletown called Yaletown L’Antipasto.

Ensemble Tap

December 14, 2011

The holiday season is definitely in full gear! Since I haven’t been leaving my apartment all that much during the daytime while getting caught up in work and prepping for my upcoming stint in Thailand, I sometimes completely forget that it’s the festive time of year until Christmas parties and other social events pop up [...]

Pied à Terre

August 11, 2011

Living in Cambie Village currently, I have walked by Pied à Terre, a small inconspicuous French Bistro, several times, and have vowed to go there at some point this summer before I move on to yet another neighbourhood.

This past Sunday I went with a couple of girlfriends for a catch-up brunch to Tableau Bar Bistro in the Loden Hotel.

One evening not too long ago, a group of friends gathered together super last minute to have a welcome back dinner for a couple that just moved to Vancouver from Beijing after they got married. I was put in charge of dinner reservations, and the clock was ticking as it was already 5 pm at [...]

December 7, 2010

Pork Belly Beer House is a real hole-in-the-wall Korean BBQ restaurant, on Bidwell near Robson. So for those of you that have been asking me to write about more unknown places like this – make sure you read this post! It’s one of those places that reminds me of eating street food in Asia, or [...]

Bin 941

October 26, 2010

Early last week I met up with a girlfriend for dinner at Bin 941 on Davie Street. We had been talking about going to this tapas restaurant for months, literally, and our plans just never seemed to come together until then. Both of us had been craving a revisit of Bin 941 for ages, based [...]

Oru at Fairmont Pacific Rim

October 2, 2010

About a month ago, my family went to try out Oru at the Fairmont Pacific Rim for the first time. Knowing that it was an Asian fusion restaurant, and the cuisine spanned so many countries, I came in a bit hesitant that any particular type would be all that good. But then again, I’ve always [...]

Late last week, I was invited by new Executive Chef, Curtis Webb, to attend a tasting of the upcoming menu (by brainchild, Ryan Mah) for Goldfish Pacific Kitchen. The new menu will not be available to the public until around the middle of September. There are still some tweaks that will be made (as a [...]

Miku Japanese Restaurant

September 1, 2010

A couple of months ago, a few of us foodie friends got together for a meal at Miku Japanese Restaurant, on West Hastings. I hadn’t tried it before but had heard that the food was good, although a bit on the higher end of the price scale. I arrived with Melody Fury of Vancouver Food [...]
