CALGARY: Korean Village

UPDATE – July 5, 2010: In a strange twist, Korean Village has closed its location near the Calgary Tower and taken over the one formerly occupied by Dae Jang Geum at 1324 – 10th Ave. S.W.

I was really craving some Korean food on Friday night, so we headed out to Dae Jang Geum, which [...]

RICHMOND: Night Market

The Richmond night market is a totally fun outing on a summer night, and growing so quickly that it’s now in its third location in less than a decade.

The popularity led to a fight between event companies, but all you need to know is don’t eat before you come here! Your eyes will [...]

CALGARY: Anju

This is how I always start off describing Anju: “You know those two round condo towers downtown near the Bow? The ones that look like Miami Vice?

It was [...]

Deb says in addition to the steadily growing Chinese student population, [...]

CALGARY: The way to world peace

I work in an office stuck in a residential area. It has a very small cafeteria which boasts of daily specials like “hamburger” and “wonton soup.” Don’t get me wrong, I like the old standbys just like anyone else but sometimes a little variety is in order.

That’s when those of us who are lunchless, or [...]

EDMONTON: Meat lovers unite

I like to eat meat. My sister gave me a red T-shirt for Christmas that has a big T-bone steak on it. So I really like the “all you can eat meat buffet” at Korean Village.

It’s not really advertised as a meat buffet but I call it that because that’s where I focus my energies.

There’s [...]
