Quick Update from Taiwan

20 Aug
2010

Hi everyone!

I know this blog has been dead for the last month.. but right now I’m in Taiwan for the last leg of my trip..

I’ve been eating lots (& drinking..but shush..), barely sleeping, and walking lots, but I love it here!

If you have Facebook, you could do me a huge favor and LIKE this Facebook album. It’s for a game that we have going on our tour..and you can also see what I’ve been up to as well.

Hope you’ve all been eating well as well. I’ve been craving burgers, pasta, pizza and sashimi so badly!

Cheers!

Yuji’s Japanese Tapas, Vancouver, BC

11 Jul
2010

Yuji‘s. They don’t have a flashy exterior and they don’t have a very big footprint on West 4th either. They don’t need to because they more than make up for all that with their food!

The interior is clean, well furnished and minimalistic. That sort of seems like an oxymoron now that I read it again….

Our reservation was at 530pm, right when they opened. As a result.. we were the only ones in the restaurant for quite a bit and so it almost felt a little awkward, like they had opened just for us. The servers were certainly attentive, I mean what else could they have possibly done?

The Main, Vancouver, BC

10 Jul
2010

With dim lighting and live music, it’s easy to understand if you’ve mistaken The Main for a lounge or a pub. Rest assured though, it’s not. This local South Main restaurant is a mainstay of this neighbourhood and will continue to be for years.

Steam Whistle - Mmm beeeer. Look for a future post about Steam Whistle!

Calamari Appetizer – This was just a whole lot of batter on little shrunken squid rings and tentacles topped off with unimaginative and boring red onion slices.

Daily $10 dinner special – Roast Lamb – Don’t know how I completely missed this on the menu or posted somewhere, but Jeff ordered it.

Wow I have no clue what this is at all. Jeff can’t even remember what it is and he ate part of it! I suppose this is deserved because I take so long to post (more than a month later).

Greek Salad that came with my order ..below. Ah the greek salad, so simple but so complex at the same time. The sweet taste of olive oil, the saltiness of the olives and feta cheese combined with the cool crunchy taste of cucumbers and ripe plump juicy tomatoes…. awww yea.

Moussaka – Simply put, this is a Greek version of Shepherds Pie.. with eggplant (aubergine) added. I think there was a bechemel sauce in the pan as well. Anyways, I really enjoyed this and would love to order it again.

Sammy J. Peppers – No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC

8 Jul
2010

As a gesture of thanks to Victor who helped me load and throw out a van full of garbage at the Vancouver Dump (which is actually all the way out in Delta), I treated him to a lunch. On the way back to Vancouver, we stopped in Richmond, but neither of us was in the mood for asian, so I pulled over the for the first non-Asian place I hadn’t posted about before.

Bam, Sammy J. Peppers! If you’ve read my blog at all, you would know that I’m not a big fan of chain restaurants, and will not normally choose to eat at one if given a choice..but there was nothing else in immediate sight, we were hungry and I figured why not.

Just after 2pm, we missed the lunch crowd, though I’m not quite sure they really have one, at least this particular location in Richmond. Not wanting to be stuck inside with dim lighting, I immediately requested to sit outside even though it was a partly cloudy day. Damn these seats were comfortable.. and just the right height with the table.
