I’m always happy when VANEATS.ca sends me an email asking me to take part in reviewing their latest dining package because I know my tastebuds are going to have a good night. The latest package to come my way was the Suika Punch meal from Suika Izakaya – a six course meal for $25 that will be on sale from June 20th – August 31st
Oh My SalaThai with VANEATS.ca
Oh My, SalaThai is the latest dining pass package from the fun fellows at VANEATS.ca. I was excited to review this pass – Thai food is one of my favourites and it’s been a while since I’d visited SalaThai on Burrard. The latest dining pass from VANEATS.ca is a 6 course sampling of Thai dishes that includes two generous entrees. At $18, this is a
Garage Sale Cookies and Meat & Bread
March in Vancouver has been suffering from an identity crisis. It doesn’t seem to know what it wants to do. One minute, gorgeous blue skies, crocuses, warm breezes, the next snow, then hurricane force winds, then rain, them some blues skies… often all in the same day! Do you take the umbrella? Do you wear boots? The coat with the hood? Why is there a
Verace Amore from VANEATS.ca and Verace Pizzeria
Last week I had another opportunity to try out the newest dining pass from the fellows at VANEATS.ca. Seeing as the last one I tried was a winner, I was really looking forward to checking out what they had put together this time around! The latest pass, named Verace Amore, features Verace Pizzeria. This was a brand new restaurant to me and I was so
Gung Hei Fat Choi – Happy New Year!
Yesterday, me and my chum, Ethan, decided to head out for a belated birthday lunch (E’s birthday, not mine) and maybe do a little photo prop shopping while we were at it. We thought we would check out the newly resurrected Save-On-Meats diner on West Hastings. For those of you unfamiliar with Save-On-Meats you can watch the story of how restauranteur Mark Brand is trying
Gingerbread Lane at the Hyatt
After our dinner at Kin Resto Bar the other night, my friend, Rosalie, and I decided to stop in at a Vancouver Christmas tradition: Gingerbread Lane at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Featuring some incredibly detailed and inventive creations from Vancouver pastry chefs, culinary students at both the post secondary and high school level, and talented amateurs it’s a fun way to get in the Christmas
That’s What Friends Are For & Merry Christmas!!
Every Thursday morning I pack Sam up into the truck and we head out for the beach. Sometimes we go to lonesome Mud Bay – a 17km path along the Pacific (we don’t do the whole 17km!). Sometimes, we head to Blackie Spit/Crescent Beach which teams with people through the summer and is empty in winter. But we always meet up with one of my
Cheer Up With Lollipops and Jello
Meh. That’s right. Meh. You know, if I had a middle name (which I don’t) and if it started with “E” (which it doesn’t because I don’t), my initials would be MEH. On Wednesday night, a few 100 jacked up, drunken criminals decided to take it upon themselves to rip apart the city I call home using the loss of a hockey game as a
