Hong Kong: Tsui Wah Restaurant – Lan Kwai Fong

January 20, 2012 – 12:00

I am currently in Hong Kong! Since I’ll be here for the next 5 months Kevin has asked me to write reviews of restaurants in Hong Kong. Although I don’t think this relates to any 604 posts (Hong Kong’s area code 852) most of the Travel Series will be snippets and will lead back to my travel read more »

Lin’s Chinese Cuisine and Tea House 林餐館

November 17, 2011 – 16:41

Some of you may not know, but I am Shanghainese and I LOVE trying Shanghainese restaurants; especially those that serve Shanghainese Pork Dumplings (Xia Long Bao, Siu Long Bao). Unfortunately a lot of the smaller business Shanghainese restaurants are closing but I had a chance to stop by Lin’s Chinese Cuisine for lunch. Lin’s Chinese read more »

September 13, 2011 – 17:22

I’m telling you, these dim sum posts never seem to end. Here’s HKYK Seafood Hot Pot Restaurant, which actually does dim sum.. from 8am until 4am. Just a few more hours and they’d be running 24 hour dim sum, just like the place that used to be at Kingsway & Joyce (now it’s a hot read more »

Harbour Spirit Restaurant, No 3 Road, Richmond, BC

Oh look, it’s another dim sum post. This time we’re in Richmond at Harbour Spirit Restaurant, which used to be Sammy J. Peppers. The changes inside are very minimal, like they did about 80% of the inside and decided that was enough. There’s still a Sammy J’s pepper on the washroom doors and some frosted read more »

Dim Sum @ Dai Tung (大同) Chinese Restaurant, Vancouver, BC

September 1, 2011 – 08:00

大同海鮮酒家. Da tong. Dai Tung. I consider it an East Vancouver staple, it’s been here as long as I can remember, when other restaurants in the nearby area have all gone through various incarnations. One of the reasons why I consider Dai Tung to be a staple is the fact that they still offer read more »

Shanghai Wonderful Restaurant (旺上海菜), Richmond, BC

August 30, 2011 – 14:38

Shanghai Wonderful (旺), otherwise known as 大鴻運 was a hole in the wall that used to be on No 3 Road across from Richmond Center. It was ridiculously busy back then and their success allowed them to move to a bigger location. There’s something about the previous location that Shanghai Wonderful used to occupy, as read more »

Brave Bull’s House of Steaks – Cheapest way to travel back in time!

May 5, 2011 – 16:51

The neighbourhood of Clark & Hastings is definitely not an area one would have in mind if they were looking for food. The area is predominantly warehouses and businesses, not restaurants. However, located at the South West corner is Brave Bull’s House of Steaks. The exterior looks like it hasn’t been updated since they opened read more »

Tea Eggs 茶葉蛋 chá yè dàn

March 25, 2011 – 18:03

I love eggs, I have one almost everyday when I’m pressed for time for breakfast. I usually have a boiled egg cause it’s the easiest to prepare and I can cook a bunch at the start of the week. So it’s no wonder that I love tea eggs. They are hard boiled eggs that are read more »

After buying a new area rug at the Winners by Byrne road with my mom, sister and brother in law, we went for dinner nearby. My mom picked the place, which in actuality is a rarity, because she will usually tell ME to pick somewhere to eat. This time, she wanted to take us to read more »

Nine Dishes, 960 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC

December 2, 2010 – 06:00

Where? Nine Dishes at 960 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC. View Larger Map Who? With Condiments, VDL‘s tastiest dodgeball team. Why? Good cheap Beijing/Sichuan food, cheap $2 beer. I could go into a lot about the owner of this restaurant, If, and the type of relaxed approach he takes to running his restaurant, but you could read read more »
