Lucky Gate Restaurant; The Best Northern Chinese Food In Town?
The Lucky Gate restaurant (best northern Chinese food in town; according to their menu) is located in a kind of nondescript, rundown block of Austin Avenue in Coquitlam. And, the fact of the matter is, they make some of the best Chinese food I have had out here in the burbs. For lunch today my…

Aberdeen Centre; Shanghai-Shanghai
Over the weekend we headed out to the Vancouver suburb of Richmond, Aberdeen Centre to be precise for lunch. While there, we had lunch at Shanghai-Shanghai in the food court. My girls were mesmerized watching the young lady behind the counter making dumplings from start to finish.

Rogue Kitchen and Wetbar; Trio of Fries
I had heard about the food at Rogue Kitchen and Wetbar from a fellow foodie and was really itching to try it out. Seeing as I was at a meeting in downtown Vancouver all day today, I made a point of popping into Rogue Wetbar on my way home (even though I had lunch courtesy…

Salmon and Shrimp Bowl
The yucky-blech food of school cafeterias is a thing of the past; for lunch yesterday in the NWSS cafeteria I enjoyed salmon and shrimp with a creamy sauce served in a bread bowl. Outstanding value for $4.50.

Cora for Breakfast Falls Flat
A friend from Steveston told me about his favourite breakfast restaurant, Cora. He loves the place so I thought, me being the lover of anything breakfast, I better give it a try. I have to admit I was seriously under-whelmed. Seriously. Yes, the service was great; fast and friendly and they have free wireless available…
