Honey’s Bistro – Coquitlam, BC

January 27, 2010 – 08:00

Originally we were supposed to go to Mexican Chicken Hof, as it was the only thing that I knew about Korean Chicken Wings thanks to Foodosophy. After calling up a few friends, we made our way there. It was dark, rainy and we went up and down North Rd. many times trying to find the damn place. Best I can describe is that it’s south of the Santorini Greek restaurant at Lougheed and North Rd. Zoom in all the way on the map to the end..it’s there.

We walked inside and it was veeeery dark and dim, definite signs of a drinking-forward establishment. There was also only another table of two inside, so was this a bad sign? Who knows, it was nearly 7pm..maybe the drinking and chicken wing eating occurs later on around 9? We were quickly seated all the way in the back, given two menus and a small tray of what seemed to be, old stale popcorn. I tried one and yep, it was. Our little corner was dark, only one light above the table. Definitely felt sketch, but apparently that’s what most of these hof’s are like in Korea. read more »

Lim Kee Restaurant

Lim Kee…if you ever went to David Thompson High School, you’re sure to have had lunch at least once from this restaurant. Very busy during lunch, the two most popular items are the Deep Fried Chicken With Rice (mini) w/drink and the House Special Noodles (mini) w/drink [note: I think it's called this..], both for $6.75.

First of all….haha, this definitely isn’t a regular post. Look at the food, I was just playing around with it and saw something in it. What do you see?

While eating, I noticed that the piece of chicken seems to have gotten smaller than what I used to remember. The rice is still the same, it’s got that slightly sticky/crunchy texture to it, really wonder how they make it.

After laughing a good 5 minutes about the above picture, I ate some and somehow ended up with this. What do you see now? Good thing the real thing isn’t actually on the plate..

Cooking

Lemon Balm Pesto

June 4, 2009 – 06:00

Continuing with the use of Lemon Balm (I made tea before), I made some pesto to go with pasta.

Didn’t have any parmesan at home….or pine nuts. So it was pretty basic, just olive oil, lemon balm leaves and some garlic.

Toss it into some pasta, yum. First try was light.

Second time was a little more intense, I added some frozen seafood mix and made Greek Salad.

<-Even got some reflector action going on here, can you tell?

Moxie's Classic Grill

May 27, 2009 – 07:00

I usually never eat at these kind of restaurants, such as Earls, Cactus Club, Sammie J Pepper, Moxies, etc, because they’re just too trendy and not my style. Plus the fact that I could find the same food or better at cheaper prices elsewhere keeps me away. Anyways, VDL had our season end dinner at the Moxies on Davie St, yesterday, and I was quite happy with my experience. Previous to this visit, I’ve never had Moxies…I think.

So starting off with a couple appetizer platters, you can see that there are chicken wings, salt & pepper ribs, rosemary pita bread, calamari, spring rolls, and three dipping sauces. Lots of meat on the ribs, chicken wings were kind of plain but the sauces helped remedy that, and the calamari batter was light.

All of the following entrees came with sides of potatoes (baked, mashed, fries) and veggies (green beans or broccoli). I wish I got the baked potato instead, it looks so much better than just plain mashed potatoes. I did get to compare the two and I prefer the baked.

This is what more than half of us got, the Honey Roasted Garlic Top Sirloin Steak. What a mouthful. Mine came medium rare as I requested, and it was one of the first to come out, but as the other steaks started to slowly come out, some weren’t cooked to order. I think the kitchen got a little too overwhelmed and couldn’t keep track properly which steaks had to be cooked.
