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.

CHAU VeggiExpress- Healthy Yet Delicious

Long ago, Misu raved about this one restaurant she was in love with. I was intrigued and totally up for trying it out but when she said it was a vegetarian pho place, I stopped. I couldn't imagine what vegetarian pho would taste like! Wasn't all pho broth made with meat and bones? And what would replace the oh so delicious tripe, beef balls, and raw beef slices?  All my worries washed away when I saw the incredibly high rating on Urbanspoon....

Indochine Kitchen + Bar - Phnom Penh #2

It has been a while since I've had a foodie night, so last week, I caught up with foodobyte and Desmond for some Vietnamese eats at Indochine Kitchen + Bar. And in case you were wondering. Yes. I drew faces on the chicken wings. One of the reoccurring statements I often hear about this place is that it is a Phnom Penh #2. They serve pretty much the same dishes, and so far, it seems like they are doing just as well of a job, or better....

Wildebeest- Foie Gras Poutine, Thymus Glands, and Bone Marrow.

Last Saturday, me and the girls decided to go out, dress pretty, and party our little butts off till dawn. We haven't gone to downtown Vancouver in a while so we decided to hit up Wildebeest to try their exotic and much talked about menu. I heard they serve bone marrow, sweetbreads (aka thymus glands O.O *gulp*), and foie gras poutine. It's a foodie's dream, really. Wildebeest is located in Gastown on West Hastings Street and next door is...

The Keg Steakhouse and Bar (Burnaby)- What a Beautiful Sight

The Keg is a place I don't go to very often because of its relatively higher price range and fine dining atmosphere.  Meta Knight and I recently went to The Keg in Burnaby and we were extremely surprised to see a line up to  the door! The wait was around 45 minutes for the dining room so we decided to try our luck in the lounge. We were lucky that day and found two seats at the bar! Perfect for the Canucks game on that night as well! The...

Fray on Fraser (Now Closed)- Portobello Jenga Fries. Bam.

If you haven't heard already, the local dining and board gaming restaurant called "Fray on Fraser" is now officially closed. The reason was not because they were not earning enough profit, it was because of a legal dispute between investors. It's a very sad thing to witness, really.  I came here with a bunch of my friends right before Fray closed and had a wonderful time. We were definitely planning on coming back but now I guess we can't....
