AoYama Cafe is associated with UCC Cafe, a popular coffee chain in the Philippines and other Asian countries. Its big sell is siphon coffee. However, I was focused more on the food than the coffee on the day I visited, so here’s a better writeup of their coffee system. Located on the ground floor of Aberdeen [...]
Because my family lives in Richmond, sometimes I hardly ever leave the city even though Vancouver is simply a bridge away. And sometimes it seems I only eat lunch at Aberdeen Centre, one of the big Asian shopping centres. I’ve written about a few places there before, and this time the mall had some more [...]
California rolls, ho-hum? Yawning at yet another piece of yellowtail? Check this beautiful saba battera ($11.50) from Sushi Hachi (鮨八). Lightly pickled mackarel is placed on top of packed sushi rice into a box mold, which results in the tight, rectangular shape.

On an overcast summer day, I circled Westminster Highway, Alderbridge Way and Gilbert Road twice before I found Tenku Bakudanyaki across the street from an ICBC and next to [...] OK, sushi-starved people. Globefish in Kensington has moved. Look 50 paces north. There you go. See the big orange sign on what used to be Shan Tung, the Chinese restaurant? That’s now Globefish, freshly renovated and double the size. It seems moving across just two parking lots is causing much confusion for Globefish’s loyal throngs, as [...] This post was seriously five months in the making. I started writing this back in February when we were in moving upheaval. The night before the movers came to take all our possessions and put them into storage — including all my pots and pans and cookbooks — Jason and I sat in our neighbourhood pub [...] |
