Just Some Hot Lunches
A few pictures from some of the lunches I enjoyed this past summer. First, a bowl of ramen from Kamamarui on Royal Oak Ave in Burnaby. Good. Not the flavour punch to the taste buds that I was hoping for. Next up, a lunch platter at Dunn’s Famous downtown Vancouver. The fries at Dunn’s Famous…

Coming Home Cafe New Westminster
Catching up on a couple blog posts that were left as drafts before I took off with my kids for an 8 day trip to the interior of BC. This one is really simple, great Eggs Benedict with good pan fried potatoes at the funny little restaurant called the Coming Home Cafe in uptown New…

Ba Lé Sandwich Shop

This time I followed up on Beyond the Rhetoric – my fellow foodie’s recommendation and stopped at Ba Lé on Main Street just south of Hastings Street. Ba Lé is a simple affair. Vietnamese sandwiches done quickly. You walk up to the counter, tell the…

Food Pics From the Victoria Day Weekend
Just a selection of food pics from my Victoria Day long weekend. To begin, a little ribeye steak from Romer’s Burgers in Port Moody. Very good. And you can’t have a steak without dessert.

The Soft Opening of Pepper Lunch Canada
I saw a note on Instagram about a new location of the Pepper Lunch restaurant having a “soft opening” event on Saturday and knowing that I was going to be dropping my family off at YVR that morning, I added a comment to say that I would attend the soft opening. When I walked in,…

Port Moody’s Sushi & Roll
We needed a quick snack to tide us over until we got home for dinner so we stopped at Sushi & Roll. Yep. A sushi joint sandwiched between a hookah shop and a McDonald’s and right across the road from a motorcycle and boat sales shop on the non-descript strip of St Johns between Moody…
