Tai Hing Congee and Noodle House- Who Here Likes Organs??

Tai Hing Congee and Noodle House is a hole in the wall type of restaurant located on Park road across from Richmond Center. They specialize in, you guessed it, congee and noodles! When I come here, the only two items I ever get are the Homemade Style Noodle in Soup ($6.35) and their congees. FYI, the homemade style noodle in soup has a lot of ingredients that might scare a lot of people with conservative palates. But I’ll talk about that...

Damien's Belgian Waffles- Mmm...Dark Chocolate Waffles

I've been to the Damien's Belgian Waffles in Steveston, Richmond a few times before and have always loved their liege waffles. Last week I visited this place twice because I had a craving... X.X I hate cravings, but when I do get one, I always go out of my way to satisfy it. The exterior looks very run down and there's actually no storefront sign that says "Damien's Belgian Waffles" except for the little one on the the window. They...

Hog Shack Cook House- Sweet Jesus That's Good

Last week I saw a Groupon for Hogshack Cook House (10 for $20) so Meta Knight quickly helped me snag one for the both of us to try out. Honestly, Groupon has some pretty good food deals, check them out here!  We went at 3pm (odd time, I know) but were told they were SOO busy that they have to replenish (their meat stack I assume?) before then next service which is 4:30pm. To kill off time, we decided to take a stroll around Steveston...

Fatburger (Burnaby)- Home Of The Amazing Grilled Chicken Burger

Fatburger has always been on my to-go list purely because of the name and their slogan, “The Last Great Hamburger Stand”. With a slogan like that, I wanted to try it out and see how great (and fat, harhar) their burgers really were! Meta Knight ordered the special of the day which was called the Big Fat Deal ($9.99). His meal consists of a Bacon Double Cheeseburger with bottomless soda and fries. I on the other hand ordered the Classic...

Verace Pizzeria- (Verace Amore Package) Who Likes Burrata Cheese? I Do!

I bought the “Verace Amore” package ($15.00) last month from vaneats.ca and I have been itching to go ever since but never really found the time to. I finally made the effort to go and Meta Knight and I very much enjoyed our experience here. We went during prime dinner time so we were quite surprised to see a pretty empty restaurant, especially with all the hype surrounding this new and authentic Italian pizzeria. I found the service a...

H-Mart (Aberdeen)- Yummy Dukbokki and Horrible Tasting Cake

Since H-Mart’s opening in Aberdeen a month or so ago, I’ve gone back excessively because I love the cool Korean brands of food they have to offer. In addition to buying the groceries, I have tried the cakes from their bakery and a few snack items from their hot food section. Their hot food items are pretty attractive and it always enticed me whenever I walk by. Trixie and I wanted to snack so we ordered a few items to share. First we ordered...

Cafe Medina- "Life Is Too Short for Bad Coffee"... So True!

Since Rae and I were in Gastown already from our Cartems Donuterie run (post), we decided to stop by Cafe Medina for a quick brunch. Cafe Medina is located next to Chambar and they are well known for their waffles. I hear the line ups get pretty long during the weekend so we were lucky we came on a weekday. Waited only two minutes for a table, oh yeah! The restaurant itself is very small so no wonder the line ups get long when it’s busy! I...

Cartems Donuterie- Earl Grey and Maple Bacon Bourbon Donuts

I first read about Cartems Donuterie in the Vancouver Sun and ever since then I’ve wanted to pay a visit. Their Bacon Maple Bourbon donut in particular intrigued me because I wanted to see if they were better than the ones I made for my Marketing class last year! If you haven’t read my not too shabby attempt in making and selling Maple Bacon donuts, read it here. They sold like hotcakes at the SFU campus so I kind of regret not capitalizing on the...

Rodney's Oyster House- The Story of Nonexistent Service

Not too long ago, Janice, Steph, and I went to Rodney’s Oyster House in Yaletown for their “Low Tide” menu (Mon-Sat, 3-6pm). Rodney’s is known for their freshly shucked raw oysters and cool energetic atmosphere. I honestly love the vibe and food here but the service always deters me from coming back. I don’t know if it’s just me but I receive pretty bad service every time I come. This time around, our server rarely checked up on us, forgot...

ABC Cafe (Aberdeen)- Hits and Misses

A while ago, my mom introduced me to new ABC Cafe located on the third level of Aberdeen Center. I don't know why but I had set up an expectation of failure before I even came in. The previous establishment that occupied this space was called ‘Seventh Heaven’ and it wasn't very good in my opinion. While looking through their menu, the thing that popped out at me was their Korean Stone Bowl Rice. Apparently you can add Foie Gras for an additional...

Gyo-O (Revisit)- Bukkake Udon and Oyster Milk Ramen!

Ever since G-Men closed down, Gyo-o has become my go-to place for ramen in Richmond. I love everything about this restaurant from the casual and cozy atmosphere, to their quality seafood. I have already written two posts on Gyo-o before (visit #1 and visit #2) so you can probably tell how often I revisit. This time I came with Meta Knight and we ordered two items to share. The first dish was Tako Wasabi Bukkake Udon w/ Egg ($9.75) and it consists...
