Deacon’s Corner

December 20, 2009 – 07:00

Deacon’s Corner has been on my list since September, but I just never ended up going for so many reasons. Can’t wake up early enough on the weekend to go for breakfast, can’t go during school time, lazy and didn’t wan to drag some friends there, etc. So when our APPK (Anatomy, Physiology, Pathologies & read more »

Nuba (Hastings & Cambie)

December 19, 2009 – 21:42

After Angie, Ben, Ed & I had finished eating at La Taqueria and were standing outside, I contemplated something that had been on my mind the whole time. Should I dare ask if they wanted to go for MORE food? “They’re foodies, of course they wouldn’t refuse..they just can’t!” I thought. With Nuba just a read more »

La Taqueria X3

December 15, 2009 – 17:00

This is the 3rd time I am posting about La Taqueria. Overkill? Probably, but I just had to try all of their different taco toppings. That’s how dedicated I am to you all, trying a restaurants entire menu! Actually, that’s not true, they have quesadillas for $4. Maybe I can make it 4 times? hehe.. read more »

Brioche – Urban Baking and Catering

December 15, 2009 – 13:51

Everyday, I walk past Brioche, be it their main entrance in the alley, or their “back entrance” on Water St. I’m not much of a cafe & pastries kind of guy, if you can’t tell by now, but I had a little push from someone. Anita, who came out to the Long Table Series @ read more »

Revel Room

December 12, 2009 – 14:13

I thought that being in Gastown everyday for school would mean I would try out as many places as possible, but I actually haven’t. For many reasons, such as dodgeball, clinic, too tired, errands, no money, etc, I haven’t gone to as many restaurants as I thought I would have. Oh well. At least I’m read more »

MoMo Sushi

November 16, 2009 – 08:00

Went for lunch with some classmates. I’m currently at VSBM for the Spa Therapy Program. It’s been an awesome experience so far, even though it is pretty intense as it’s 40hr weeks. When I finish at the end of January, I’ll be a certified bodyworker / massage practitioner. From then, I’ll look towards going to read more »

So another food blogger meet up in Vancouver, and this time so graciously organized by Kim from I’m Only Here For The Food, we met at The Irish Heather for the wildly popular Long Table Series. This was perfect for me, as I am in Gastown for school and wouldn’t have to wait long after read more »

So.Cial Custom Butcher Shop and Deli

October 18, 2009 – 07:31

I would put a street view map from Google, but it doesn’t do a good job of showing the outside of this deli. This butcher shop and deli is part of So.Cial at Le Magasin. You can walk through the alley that branches off from the intersection of Cordova St. and Homer, or you can read more »

La Taqueria X2

October 17, 2009 – 06:34

Remember I said in my first post about La Taqueria that I already went back? Here it is! De Picadillo (sauteed ground tofu in chin chin’s secret recipe). This really didn’t taste like tofu, nor did it have the texture. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought I was eating ground pork! read more »

La Taqueria

October 4, 2009 – 06:00

I’ve been eagerly awaiting La Taqueria, aka “Pinche Taco Shop”, ever since ScoutMagazine posted about it. If you want to know what “pinche taco shop” means, then read my tweet from a while back. So since I’m now going to school in the Gastown area, it’s a given that I would drop by for lunch read more »
