  • Vancouver’s Chinatown

    I have been having difficulty accessing this blog through the WordPress app on my iPad and iPhone so I have not been posting as often as I like to. Seeing as I still cannot resolve the issues around the iOS app, I have decided to sit down at my desk and do a quick blog…

  • Lunch Break at 293 Wallace St Restaurant

    Stopped for another lunch at 293 Wallace St Restaurant in Hope BC. This time I had the Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wrap. The locally sourced blue cheese was a very nice flavour addition.

  • Sprouts

    I remember when I was a kid living back on the family farm, we didn’t gave good and reliable refrigeration or access to fresh veggies so we always had jars of sprouts in a variety of stages of readiness. Alfalfa, radish, cabbage, broccoli and fenugreek were some of the sprouts we would have. These fenugreek…

  • Inglorious Fruits and Veggies?

    Would you be more inclined to purchase fruits and veggies if they were 30% cheaper but less attractive than ones you usually get from the grocery store? Watch this very short video to see what a French supermarket did to make fruits and veggies more affordable –

  • The 293 Wallace Street Restaurant

    Yesterday I was traveling through the Fraser Canyon once again. As usual, I was hungry. Rather than stop at Fat Jack’s Homestyle diner I decided to visit a new place I had heard about, The 293 Wallace Street Restaurant. And I have to say, it was good. Really good. Not only is the food delicious…

  • Ki Sushi Impresses

    Yesterday I stopped into one of my old sushi haunts – Ki Sushi in New Westminster. This is a sushi restaurant that I have visited many times over the years as it has changed, grown and moved. The great thing about Ki Sushi is that it is what I call “a classic sushi place”. By…

  • Fat Jack’s Homestyle Diner in the Fraser Canyon

    There is nothing particularly unique or special about another diner opening up these days. Even if it is east of Boston Bar, way up the Fraser Canyon. The thing that makes Fat Jack’s Homestyle Diner unique is that it is run by Todd, a “celebrity-type” chef from Vancouver who used to run a critically acclaimed…

  • My Trusted Pho Joints

    Rather than write about and describe restaurants as “must try” places, I realized that it is more accurate to describe the places as “trusted” places. After all, they are not necessarily places you must-try, they are simply places that I or my friends have tried and found to be places that you too can trust.…

  • Raspberries and Whipped Cream

    Yes, I have been away from my eating in the burbs blog for far too long. I have been doing my part and eating, I just haven’t had a minute to sit down to write and share photos. So to tide you over until I can do my review of Earnest Ice Cream (brought to…

  • Coffee Choices

    I am one of those people who simply loves Starbucks coffee. Being a coffee-purist, I enjoy my coffee hot and black. At home we brew our coffee in a bodum, sometimes known as a French Press. This provides the most pure coffee flavour and also helps me limit my coffee to a mug and a…
