There are two ways I know it’s Alaskan king crab season in Vancouver. There are countless restaurant ads with pictures of the spiny creatures all over the Chinese newspapers. Or my mother texts, “Want king crab dinner? It’s in season.” As the Globe and Mail points out, however, it’s not really the “season” so much [...]
The Cultural Centre Restaurant opened four months ago in the lower level of the blue-pagoda building in Chinatown. It’s run by the same people who own U & Me Restaurant and the MBA BBQ Noodle House. I’ve been there for lunch which left me less than impressed, and then I went back for a hot [...] There’s no doubt Mimo Restaurant is run by a family that’s proud of what they do. Our server, Carla, is the daughter of the owners and in typical Portuguese fashion, she loves to chat. But that’s how I learned about the restaurant, and the area’s, interesting history.

You can take a stroll along the main drag and spend a lot of time staring at some not-so-familiar [...] Time for an interlude to the China/Hong Kong adventure for something closer to home. First of all, I’d like to apologize to the BMW that I cut off while making a sharp right turn to get to Big Fish. For some reason I thought it was on the left, and realized at the last moment, it [...]
I’ve written about how much I love Jane’s on the Common before, but this time, we got to go back for brunch. I can keep this one short and sweet. Jane’s serves amazing, unfussy food, with great service and astonishingly decent prices. Jason’s eggs benedict with bacon ($10) came with homemade hollandaise sauce, but the real [...] |
