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.

L.A. Chicken- I'm Converted

So for everyone who lives in Richmond, I'm sure you've heard of this place called L.A. Chicken on Cambie and No.5 Road. Its this hyped up ghetto fried chicken restaurant that everyone talks about but I roll my eyes to. After all, how could their fried chicken, or any fried chicken for that matter be THAT amazing?  Meta Knight has eaten at L.A. Chicken all his life and he said it was pretty amazing so I followed him here to give it a try. It...

Sushi Oyama- My Favourite Place For Specialty Rolls

Sushi Oyama was once Meta Knight's secret Japanese restaurant, and since then, I've written about it (here) and now all my friends and family knows and adores this place as well.  It has certainly grown in popularity over these past few years as apparent by the longer than usual line ups and slight price increase. Nevertheless, we still love Oyama and will continue coming here for many years to come. :) I'm a lover of all noodles...

The...

Miku - New Location, Same Great Taste

A couple of months ago, the restaurant all Vancouverites know and love moved to a new location in Coal Harbour. The new restaurant is 1.5 times larger than the old location and has a stunning view of the sea. Meta Knight and I went to dine on their fantastic aburi and to celebrate my new job. Yay! Miku is only located a few steps from Waterfront station so getting there was easy peasy. We got there early, but all the tables were reserved...

Eat Chicken Wraps - Crispy Crunchy Chinese Pancake

Eat Chicken Wraps is a new food truck that has been generating some buzz and it is owned and operated by husband and wife team Dan and Sammy. The food truck is located at Robson Square so it is really convenient for Canada Liners like me. They are open 7 days a week 11am-9pm. Eat Chicken Wraps is a very funky and weird name. Even their logo is super quirky. Love it! They debone fresh and local chicken every night for the next morning so you...
