What I ate: Spicy Shrimp Paste Soup with Rice Noodle, Chicken Ball and Sausage ($9.95) I had their mixed noodle combo. It was alright, I was really hungry but I still coudn’t finish this.

What we ate: Phở Tái Bò Viên – Rare Beef & Beef Ball Noodle Soup ($9.25) … Continue reading Pho Don

After a long day shopping at Tsawwassen Mills we went here for some good old Yoshoku (Japanese-Western) cuisine. This Cafe used to be one of my favourites and I would be here at least once a week (before they moved to this location). I haven’t been back in a very long time, so I was excited to see if it was as good as I … Continue reading Cafe de l’Orangerie
I don’t eat in Burnaby very often anymore, but J really wanted to go to Metrotown to check out the Zara sale, so how could I turn down an opportunity to shop? He was feeling like something warm and soupy after our shopping spree, so we decided to check this place out. What I ate: Udon noodles with spicy Japanese curry dashi soup, beef, onions … Continue reading Sekai Udon Bar
