Octopus Garden

October 8, 2010

So I really, really like Octopus Garden in Kitsilano (on Cornwall) for sushi. Why? First of all, Sado-san, the chef and owner. He has a great sense of humour, is excellent and what he does (of course), and always has a big smile on his face. The last time I headed to this intimate, 30-seat [...]

Goldfish Pacific Kitchen

September 13, 2010

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 [...]

Kingyo

August 20, 2010

Yes, I’m still alive. For those wondering where I’ve been, I’ve been around but decidedly absent for the past couple of months. A few weddings out of town, and just general summer festivities. I’ve still been eating out, but just not as much. Anyway, back to it. I have a lot of catching up to [...]

Urban Thai Bistro

May 7, 2010

Earlier this week, I headed over to Urban Thai Bistro in Yaletown with a friend of mine for lunch. I’ve been there quite a few times, and used to frequent it for their all you can eat weekend lunch, even up to eight years ago. This time around, instead of getting one of their weekday [...]

Il Caminetto di Umberto

April 5, 2010

Last weekend a group of around twelve of my friends decided to head up to Whistler for the weekend, as my brother had a cabin booked that we could use during that time. About five of us headed up for the Friday night before everyone else was going to show up and ski or board [...]

Rodney’s Oyster House

April 2, 2010

Last week I met up with a few girlfriends for lunch at Rodney’s Oyster House on Hamilton Street in Yaletown. I’d never been there for anything but dinner before, but it’d been awhile and I was having an odd craving for oysters. Something that I keep meaning to try (and what I will aim for [...]

Araxi Restaurant

March 16, 2010

It was Thursday night and I had heard that Whistler was starting to dump snow. So, we decided to be spontaneous and go early Friday morning to spend a couple of days skiing and getting away from the city. After a great day of skiing through a lot of fresh powder on a perfect and [...]

Kirin Chinese Restaurant – City Square

March 15, 2010

So to finish off the girl’s stagette weekend over a week ago (note that many of the guys were simultaneously on an RV road trip to Reno), we went for a dim sum brunch on Sunday, to help nurse our hangovers collectively. It was actually surprising that around nine of us ended up showing for [...]

Blue Water Cafe and Raw Bar in Yaletown

March 1, 2010

I haven’t been to the Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar for quite awhile now – I’ve only been about four or five times to date, but have really enjoyed it every time I’ve gone. When I found out that it was open for lunch during the Olympics after walking by it over the last [...]
