Moncton Cafe - Japanese Western Style Diner in Storybrooke

Steveston, Richmond (aka Storybrooke for all you "Once Upon A Time" fans, is home to a little mom and pop diner called Moncton Cafe.

Luckily, we saw an "Early Bird Special" for Mussel Hot Pot for $9.95.  They added a few more menu items since my last visit.  Love their little decor items. You...

Kamamarui Ramen & Don- Those Sushi Bombs

Look out! There's another ramen joint in the Burnaby area! Luckily for me, it's located extremely close to Metrotown so I can visit often after work if I want to. Kamamarui is located in a very unassuming neighbourhood and I realize I've driven by a million times but never gave it a second look.  The interior is super cute with a theme of kitties and dogs from the mini statue in the front, to dog tails as coat hangers all along the walls.

Milestones- Four Bellinis, Four Appetizers, Forty Dollars

Milestones is home to the famous Monday Girls Night Out consisting of four signature bellinis, four appys, for just forty bucks.  I came with three of my girlfriends for some drinks and much needed girl talk.  I like my girly drinks so I find Milestones' bellinis to be one of the best ones out there. With its "frozen blend of premium white rum, peach liqueur, sparkling white wine, and Boone's Sangria", it's the perfect frozen...

Miura Waffle Milk Bar- Korean Fusion Sandos

Miura Waffle + Milk Bar used to be in Yaletown but it's now in a new location on Main Street!   They were on You Gotta Eat Here! (Food Network Show) which is a pretty big accomplishment. I came here with Meta Knight and we were both surprised to see no one else in the restaurant at 5pm. The interior is clean and spacious. You pay at the counter first so there are no waitresses to serve you. It's a great place for snacks or quick...
