This blog doesn’t have enough reviews of Korean food, and I’m not sure why that is. For the record, I love Korean food and I have been seriously craving for Ddeokbokki for a while. I’m not sure why they are so hard to find in restaurants. Rice cake in spicy korean sauce is an easy dish to put on the menus right?
This Monday I was once again invited to a media tasting event, and this time I was invited to Pink Elephant Thai.
At this dinner me and six others got to try 4 appetizers, 8 main courses, and 2 desserts. There was a lot to eat, and there were a lot of memorable dishes.
Bo Laksa King is one of my favorite finds for MePlusFood, so when I heard they have an actually restaurant, I went soon after to have their awesome laksa and other new dishes.
A couple months ago a friend introduced me to Favor Eat World‘s Taiwanese beef noodles and Wang’s Shanghai Cuisine‘s XLB (Xiao long bao) at the food court in Crystal Mall.
Like most people, I consciously avoid mall food, but these 2 places were way better than I expected.
Ever since I visited Shanghai River I’ve been on the hunt for other restaurants for good Shanghainese food. After a little search on the internet, I went to Dinesty Chinese Restaurant with a couple friends for dinner.
I have been craving for Peking duck for the past couple weeks and one of my friend suggested getting it at Shanghai River in Richmond.
Walking into Shanghai River, I immediately got the smell of vinegar and steamed buns. Then I saw the kitchen behind the glass window, where the chefs were rolling out doughs and making steamed buns, I knew this place has more to offer than just Peking duck.
The new food trucks have been around Vancouver for a while now, but I haven’t gone to any of them. I’ve heard good things about Roaming Dragon Truck, so I decided to take a stroll there for lunch.
Green Basil is another busy restaurant for lunch on Kingsway in South Burnaby. It is located steps away from another popular lunch joint, Sushi Garden.
Once in a while this question always comes up at midnight: where can we get food?
Tea Work is a spot I discover recently that conveniently opens til 2am daily. I was there for a very late dinner, and the fact that this was a Taiwanese restaurant, I was more interested in getting little dishes than an actual entrée.
Sunny Dragon is a Korean owned Chinese, Japanese, all Asians in one restaurant in Surrey.
This all Asians in one restaurant has a lot of items on their menu, mostly Chinese and Japanese food. My friends and I ordered a bunch of things including the Sweet and Sour Pork, a Japanese Dinner Box, Gyozas, Agedashi Tofu, and a couple sushi rolls.
Boiling point is a individual hotpot restaurant. Its a little bit different from other shabu shabu places where you are given raw ingredients and you have to cook your meal. Boiling point cooks your food for you, then they put all the ingredients into a little wok with a small burner on the bottom for you to eat from. This way your hotpot will stay warm until the end of your meal.
Ju Ju Shine is a typical Taiwanese style mom and pop shop. Its more like a deli than a restaurant. It’s designed for people to grab a quick bite, whether its lunch, dinner or anything in between.
