Yuen Yuen Cafe

August 27, 2009 – 06:00

Tre from Noshwell posted about Yuen Yuen Cafe the beginning of this month and I was so stoked upon reading it. They have ba wan (肉圓)! Even though the Greater Vancouver area has a lot of Taiwanese restaurants, or at least Taiwanese owned, there are still many snacks and dishes that aren’t as easily brought read more »

Latin Summer Festival 2009

August 26, 2009 – 00:16

The Latin Summer Fest always occurs on a Sunday in August, just like the Taiwan Day Festival. In its 9th year, I can’t really remember what it was like before, but apparently I’ve been with my mom when I was younger, and it was the same just smaller and indoors. The most important part of read more »

Topanga Cafe

August 21, 2009 – 08:00

Back when my mom used to teach Chinese School in the Kerrisdale area, we used to frequent Topanga Cafe a lot. Since I was in the area that day with friends, looking for skimboards, I suggested we get some dinner before heading home. Win win, I get to blog about it since I haven’t been read more »

Win a basket of Mirabelle Plums!

August 13, 2009 – 12:00

Remember my post about cherries in my back yard? Well, I also have a plum tree in the front, Mirabelle plums to be exact. The plums are a vivid yellow, which is completely different from the normally purple plums you’ll find in our stores in Vancouver. A lot of my friends have never seen yellow read more »

Just to give a time frame for how far behind I am in posting, I visited nevermind on July 28th 2009 (the same day we got Screamers at Husky Market) with some of my ultimate teammates. We had just finished playing at Jericho in the blazing heat and were starving. I quickly suggested nevermind as read more »

Screamers at Husky Market in Vancouver (King Edward and Oak)

August 12, 2009 – 23:04

Every season has some food that everyone will associate with it, and this summer it seems to be Screamers, at least among the food bloggers in Vancouver. See the reviews for Danny’s Market in Richmond from Five Loaves, Yum-O-Rama, Sherman’s Food Adventures and mine. There’s also Baguette Time in Downtown Vancouver, reviewed by Five Loaves read more »

Beavertails – Grouse Mountain, Vancouver, BC

August 11, 2009 – 01:03

Hi all, the last time I posted was the end of July, almost 2 weeks now! Sorry, I’ve been trying to avoid the computer and any distractions because it is once again finals time. I could have easily pre-written some posts, scheduled them to appear but I don’t like posting like that. There’s many reasons, read more »

Ba Le French Sandwiches

July 28, 2009 – 02:40

Really hungry after skimboarding a couple weeks ago, I remembered that I still haven’t had a viet sub from Ba Le. Every time I meant to go and get one, they were closed already! Their hours are 9am-6pm everyday, so it’s best to go early. Also, there can be a lot of people waiting for read more »
