Guu Otokomae

August 23, 2010

It seems like I’ve been to a lot of Japanese izakayas lately. A little while back (ok, so it was a few months ago), I headed over to Guu Otokomae in Gastown with a good girlfriend of mine, to take her out for her birthday dinner. I’ve been to a couple of others in the [...]

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 [...]

Cafe Barcelona on Granville

June 7, 2010

So I’ve been looking to expand on my regular lunch places downtown, and I found Cafe Barcelona when looking around online for a bit a few months ago.  It recently opened at the end of last year, and is located in the busy downtown Granville Street Entertainment district.  I initially thought that it would definitely [...]

Khunnai Chang in the West End

March 23, 2010

A few years ago, a fellow Terrace-born friend of mine, Stephanie (Gone Green Bananas), had just gotten back from Thailand and told me about a small Thai restaurant that she had randomly found one day on Denman Street called Khunnai Chang.  I somehow never managed to go give it a shot since then, but after [...]

Sachi Sushi in Whistler Village North

March 18, 2010

It was Saturday evening in Whistler.  Time to find dinner somewhere. It turned out that a girlfriend visiting from Australia and her co-worker, along with another friend of ours, arrived in town for the night as well.  We all decided to meet up to eat, and I was in charge of finding a good restaurant [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Cambie Vietnamese Restaurant on Main and King Edward

December 28, 2009

I first started going to the Cambie Vietnamese Restaurant for pho when it was still actually located on Cambie Street, in a strip mall just before King Edward Avenue (I lived in a house only a couple of blocks away at the time).  They had to move to a new place once the RAV line was [...]

Sanafir Restaurant and Lounge

December 26, 2009

While my last attempt at Sanafir on Granville didn’t turn out all that well due to a meal I had earlier in the day at Kintaro that didn’t agree with me, I managed to have the chance to return this past weekend for a good friend’s birthday.  And again, they had the upstairs booked out for all of [...]

Regional Tasting Lounge in Yaletown

December 22, 2009

The first time I tried the Regional Tasting Lounge, or r.tl, in Yaletown, I almost walked right into the glass doors.  They’ve got dark tinted windows and are automatic, and I remember that it was also dark outside so I didn’t notice where exactly the entrance was – it probably didn’t help that I was a bit light-headed from [...]
