October 2012 ~ Eating With Kirby

Mosaic Bar and Grille- Italian Chef Tasting Menu

The barely cooked runny yolk is meant to be popped and enjoyed along with the risotto...and enjoy I did. The golden lava coated every kernel of rice with its warm embrace and made the risotto that much more comforting.

Raspberry Bliss Oat Bars Recipe- Vegan & No Sugar, Oil, or Butter

I’ve recently found a wonderful and motivating website called “Oh She Glows” and her recipes are the healthiest recipes I’ve seen. :D It’s not so healthy that it repulses you or makes you go ‘oh gross, that looks like something a rabbit would eat’. It actually looks truly appetizing and sinfully delicious! I tried out her “Berry Bliss Oat Squares” recipe a week ago and made quite a few modifications. This new Kirby version is called “Raspberry Bliss...

The Hastings Warehouse- Everything On The Menu is $4.95!

I didn't know such a thing existed...but it's true. There is a restaurant/pub in Vancouver that serves up food for just $4.95. In fact, the entire menu is $4.95 (exluding drinks)! It's called Hastings Warehouse and is located on, you guessed it, Hastings. Their appys and entrees are both $4.95 so I guess it's a better deal to order an entree. And if you are wondering about their serving sizes, it's not too shabby for five bucks. It'll get you...

Jimoco Cafe & Pasta- My LOVE of Korean Style Pasta!!

Ever since "Bistro The Home" closed down, I've been trying to find a replacement for my beloved Korean style pasta. Now that I came back from two months of living in Korea, my craving for Korean style pasta is even greater! I was determined to find a place and Jimoco Cafe & Pasta was my calling. Jimoco Cafe & Pasta is located in Coquitlam (kinda far from where I live, Richmond) and they serve up 2-for-1 pastas everyday! I read a few...

Little Mexico Cantina- A Tiny Mexico in Steveston, Richmond

So apparently, there has been a little authentic Mexican place hiding in Steveston, Richmond and I never heard about it until now! :( It’s called Little Mexico Cantina and it is directly next to Mega Sushi (post here). When my girlfriends and I stepped into the restaurant, we were flabbergasted by the large amount of people in the restaurant, and the awesometacular Halloween decorations that were hanging all around. Also, people were wearing sombreros....

Boo! Bacardi HALLOWEEN Event @ Indochine Kitchen + Bar Contest

[Note: This contest is closed] Who here has no plans so far for Halloween (not that it’s a bad thing of course :P)?? Instead of staying at home and repeatedly handing out candy to little teeny boppers, would you like to attend an exclusive Bacardi HALLOWEEN event at Indochine Kitchen + Bar? I have two VIP passes to give away for this ‘invite-only’ event so if you would like to get your spook on and enjoy some complimentary Bacardi cocktails on Halloween,...

Berry Greek Yogurt Parfait w/Honey Recipe

Ever since I came back from Asia a month ago, I wanted to get back into the lifestyle I had before I left which was exercising often (3-5 times a week) and eating healthy. However, I gotta admit, it has been hard. My willpower has given in a few times so I've experienced quite a few food comas since I've been back. BUT. No more. I am confident and determined to set myself back on track and resume a healthy lifestyle! From now on, I will try...

agnes b. LE PAIN GRILLE + CAFE (Hong Kong)- Clothing Brand Turned Cafe

Trixie and I wanted to specifically visit the agnes b. LE PAIN GRILLE + CAFE while we were in Hong Kong since it seemed like an interesting concept. If you don’t already know, agnes b. Is a clothing brand but they expanded their brand and now they have their own restaurant and cafe. We specifically went to the one located in IFC because this was supposedly the prettiest location of all. agnes b cafe is not cheap (roughly $5.00 for a...
