Starbucks - La Boulange Flourless Chocolate Cookie

Ever since Starbucks introduced their new cafe and bakery line called La Boulange, I've been dying to try out their pastries. I wanted to know whether they were really better than their previous pastry offerings. I tried their Chocolate Croissant and it was pretty much the same. It didn't blow me away but it was solid. Their Gluten Free Flourless Chocolate Cookie is a completely new product exclusive to the La Boulange line. It's even wrapped...

Black + Blue (The Roof) - Luxury Brunch

'The Roof' is Black + Blue's third floor outdoor restaurant and lounge where you can have brunch, dinner, or happy hour drinks. It's beautifully decorated and kept warm with tons of fireplaces and heaters. I received a Glowbal gift card so I brought Meta Knight to Black + Blue for some fancy schmancy brunch. I've actually been here once before and had a fancy schmancy $20 salad. To read that post, click here. I heard a few friends...

Little Babycakes - Little Bites of Sweetness

The kind peeps of Little Babycakes, a small start-up cupcake catering company, gave me a sample of their little cupcakes to try.

Their concept is simple, they want to give customers a little one-bite indulgence. Think mini donuts or mini tapas- in cupcake form, served at a party. They have six flavours...

Beard Papa's (No.3 and Westminster) - Relax.. Enjoy... Cream Puffs...

Beard Papa's recently opened up their third location in Richmond! It's very different from the usual ones at either the food court or the mall. It's not a stall, it's an actual "Beard Papa's Cafe".  Every time I pass by the cafe, I see a lot of people dining there but I couldn't wrap my head around how it could be a cafe. It seemed like such a grab-n-go place. Meta Knight and I were guided to our seats and given a menu. It's different...

Pepper Lunch Canada - Go With Da Beef.

Pepper Lunch Canada is officially open in Richmond!! Theres been a lot of buzz, hype, and talk in the foodie community about this place because it's the first Pepper Lunch franchise in Canada. Pepper Lunch is apparently quite popular in Asia with over 350 locations and it seems to be a Japanese fusion type of cuisine. Even though this is a sit down restaurant, you order and pay up front first before being guided to your seat. I wanted to...

Victoria Sushi - A Great Miku Alternative

A new sushi joint has apparently popped up in New Westminster and funny enough, the name of the restaurant kept on showing up in various conversations I had with friends, family, and coworkers! Honest to god I heard it 4 times in a span of a week. The name is Victoria Sushi.  Victoria Sushi is very similar to Kishimoto, and Miku where they offer Aburi Salmon Oshi or otherwise called "flame torched salmon pressed sushi". Victoria...
