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? “OK, and you know how there’s a big liquor store on the corner? Go down that dead-end street, and Anju is in the little house.” Now that you [...] Richmond’s Aberdeen Centre mall — anchored by Daiso, the best place to spend your toonies — is full of (mostly Chinese) places to eat. Its food court is fabulous, but there are also several restaurants tucked in the complex. Seventh Heaven Cafe is a typical Hong-Kong style cafe, tucked behind Northern Delicacy on the second [...] Cafe de Coral (大家樂), is one of Hong Kong’s biggest fast food franchises. Far from burgers and fries associated with fast food in North America, Cafe de Coral whips up fairly healthy meals in an astonishingly efficient manner. I’ve never had to wait more than five minutes from ordering to getting a piping hot meal [...]
Canh Buom Nha Trang is an explosion of Pepto-Bismol pink and ocean blue. Life preservers and gold-rope wrapped anchors (where does one order those?) hang on the walls; sparkly blue and red booths remind us of seats on a lurching, carnival ride.

But I wanted to stay true to the reason I have this blog in the first place: chronicling my eating adventures. I will try anything once, and the best [...] 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 [...] Whether it’s some guy rolling a shawarma or a teppanyaki chef flipping his knife around, I’m a sucker for watching my meal being prepared in front of me. Lai mein (stretched noodles) is a northern Chinese specialty and quite fun to watch. The chefs repeatedly stretch and twist the dough, turning it into thinner and thinner [...] |
