    A select group of restaurants from across Vancouver are pledging a portion of their proceeds from their sales on Tuesday, April 12, 2011, to the Canadian Red Cross fund for the Japan Earthquake/Asia-Pacific Tsunami. “People have seen the devastation that hit Japan on March 11 – and the aftermath that hundreds of thousands of people…

  • Sushi Tang in New Westminster

    After reading Follow me Foodie’s blog post about visiting an out of the way, unknown to her sushi place, I decided to forgo my usual trip to Ki Sushi in New West and to try an unknown to me hole-in-the-wall place in New West, Sushi Tang. I have to begin by saying my choice to…

  • The Dialect Spoken in the Tim Hortons Drive Thru

    Virtually every time I go through the Tim Hortons drive-thru I end up with stuff that I had no idea that I had ordered. I have tried clarifying what I am ordering by asking the garbled voice on the other end of the brown speaker box to repeat back to me what it is I…

  • BC Ferries Pacific Buffet

    After my luxurious stay in the Fairmont Empress Gold Hotel I also had the pleasure of returning via BC Ferries from Schwartz Bay to Tsawwassen on the mainland. Typically I open up my laptop and work while on the ferry. This time I chose to treat myself to the Pacific Buffet. And what a treat…

  • Solly’s Bagels 28th, Off Main Street

    The twins and I stopped into Solly’s Bagelry on 28th, just off Main on the weekend for a late breakfast snack. It was not terribly busy so I was able to wheel my kids right into the tiny store and chat with the guy who was making my breakfast sandwich. My breakfast choice was the…

  • Capers Whole Foods Market Kitsilano

    On Sunday me, my Sweetheart and the girls went to our favourite playground in the city, Kits Beach. After countless times up and down the roller slide, the girls needed a bit of lunch so we headed up to Capers Whole Foods Market Kitsilano on Fourth Ave. What a disappointment. We got a plate with an…

  • A Visit to Romana Restaurant in Burnaby

    One day between Christmas and New Years my father-in-law invited our family out for lunch. We settled on Romana Restaurant on East Hastings (a couple blocks east of Willingdon Ave) after I remembered a Tweet-up I attended at Romana’s before Christmas. The owners of Romana have a two year old girl…who better to understand the…
