Shiang Garden - Grand Dinner Selection

I feel so blessed to be a part of the ChineseBites crew because I get to explore all these different Chinese cuisines with similar foodies like myself. Recently, I got to go to Shiang Garden for a 13 course dinner with Sean, Grace, Sherman, Rick, Diana, and Nancy. The noms are real. We started off  with a Prawn Salad which consisted of half a juicy ripe papaya topped with huge prawns, melon and Japanese mayo. I absolutely adore prawns that...

Sugarholic Cafe - Surprisingly Delicious!

Sugarholic Cafe is located inside Aberdeen Mall on the ground floor. It's been open for quite some time now and is a restaurant you can't ignore. Why? It shines of fluorescent white with long sheer drapes, chandeliers, and plump couches. On numerous times, I've seen people peer in, curious as to what the heck this restaurant/cafe is all about.

Blue Bottle Coffee and Bowl'd Acai (San Francisco) - Ah-sigh-EE Bowls and New Orleans Iced Coffee

The Fish Shack - Happy Hour Time!

The Fish Shack on Granville street is part of the oh so famous Glowbal Group restaurants.

Luckily the waitress told us and we were able to save some monies. :) Kusshi oysters are always around the 3 dollar range...

Marcello Pizzeria and Restaurants - Gnocchi it Up!

To many people's surprise, I don't often eat on Commercial Drive. I know there are a bunch of amazing restaurants down the drive and it sounds crazy, but I live far so what can I do. :P Luckily, my coworkers gave me a reason to go because they decided on a dinner at Marcello Pizzeria.  I didn't try the Al Due Formaggi but it looked really delicious.  The Pasticciati ($14.95) is a gnocchi that's sauteed in a cream and meat sauce....
