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

Boneta

March 7, 2011

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 [...]

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.

Relish Gastropub in Downtown Vancouver

March 26, 2010

Disclosure: Mike and I were invited to Relish to check out the newly redone restaurant and bar to eat dinner with the owner. While that was scary in and of itself, in hopes that the food would indeed be good, the meal was provided gratis. Early this week, Mike and I headed over to the [...]

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).

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 [...]
