New India Buffet on West Broadway, Vancouver
2012-01-11 16:00:00 Arkensen and Nanzaro had an eye checkup in Vancouver during the winter break. Normally, they have their checkup in January but this time I was given the appointment during winter break. I'm so glad because I dont have to worry about them missing classes for their eyes checkup. Arkensen and Nanzaro wanted to eat at the New India Buffet & Restaurant which is located in the same building where their optometrist is.

Adonia Tea House in Kerrisdale, Vancouver
2011-12-19 16:00:00 Polly and I went to Adonia Tea House for another high tea. We enjoyed the mini high tea at The Secret Garden Tea that we want to try more. Driving past the area, we would not have figured that Adona is a tea house. From the earthy tone building and a name like Adonia, we would have thought that this is a Greek restaurant.

Stanley Cup Riot: Police Spokesman at press conference Accused of Fabricati
2011-11-19 16:15:00 Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu was facing criticism for being too slow in building cases against participants in the Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver. So he held a press conference in August where he introduced Constable Lee Patterson to explain how evidence is collected. It was an odd choice of spokesperson, since Patterson is accused ...
Kam Gok Yuen in Chinatown, Vancouver
2011-11-18 16:00:00 When Lorna and I went to Chinatown Vancouver to buy red dates, we did a little exploration of Chinatown. It was a nice sunny fall day. The Vancouver Chinatown Millennium Gate is the most prominent structure in Chinatown. Lorna told me that the Chinese characters on the gate was written by a famous calligrapher whose is a friend of her.

2011-11-01 02:29:00 Footage flickers from the Vancouver Stanley Cup riots. It looks like everyone is angry and no one knows why. Green and blue jersey wearing rioters cover the backdrop of the stage of the Cultch as six actors lurch, kick, destroy, and vent frustration that we all suspect has very little to do with hockey.

Althea Thauberger?s photo mural speaks of Vancouver?s darkness
2011-09-21 23:00:00 It would be nearly impossible to accuse Vancouver artist Althea Thauberger of being weak or fearful; in fact she is quite the opposite. Not only does she happily invite controversy and criticism, but she willingly flew to Kandahar, Afghanistan as a part of the Canadian War Artist program while Canada was still active at the ...

Hatred Justified : Vancouver embarasses themselves, "their" game
2011-06-16 14:52:00 Looking back on it, the outcome of the game was wholly predictable. Most Blackhawk fans (myself included), were rooting for the inevitable implosion of hockey's most classless team, and once again, it happened. The Boston Bruins won their first Stanley Cup since 1972, and while they were skating with the Cup, Vancouver fans were taking to the streets. ...
Losing Stanley Cup Won't Matter When God Pushes Vancouver into Pacific
2011-06-16 05:57:00 "We can really only make a couple predictions," said Michael Jenkins of Sports Psychology USA. "Roberto Luongo will probably improvise pretty well and make due...he'll get out of Vancouver via raft...and just about when he'll hit shore, he'll probably drown...Alain Vigneault will deny that he or his team did anything wrong to deserve this...he won't leave home and he'll drown to death...and Alexandre Burrows will drown all of his family members and step over the backs of children and the elderly to get to shore...because he's a total *&%$sore."
The Bruins proves difficult but beatable in Vancouver.
2011-06-02 22:35:00 One thing is for sure after watching this game: Vancouver is a damn good team and Boston is not going to lose because of being out-hustled.

Yuen-Yuen Cafe: Ba Wan and Other Taiwanese Food
2011-01-19 16:32:00 In the past couple of months we had quite a bit of attention put on Hong Kong Style Cafes, Malaysian Cuisine and Filipino Cuisine. I think I had neglected Chinese Cuisine somewhat but I think it will pick up again next month when I set my focus on getting the 8GTCC project going again. But there is one cuisine I am not very familiar with and it is the Taiwanese cuisine. This is despite that we had 41 dine out posts categorized under the Taiwanese keyword. Quite a lot isn?t it? My curiosity was piqued last weekend when Suanne blogged about a dish she learned from the Richmond Community Kitchen called Ba Wan (link here). I had never heard of that dish before ? not even after blogging on 41 Taiwanese restaurant. What caught me by surprised is the reactions from readers on that post. We often get dozens of comments for restaurant posts but recipe posts doesn?t draw nearly as many comments. On a very good day, it will draw about 5 comments but the post on Ba Wan drew 20 comments. So I...

New Town Bakery and Restaurant in Chinatown, Vancouver
2011-01-18 17:43:00 It seems that calling this restaurant sketchy and dodgy did not deter some of us from showing up for this impromptu chowdown. I made sure that I set the expectations clearly up front with those who responded to my call to join Suanne and I for lunch in the New Town Restaurant in Chinatown. I did not want people to look at me funny for choosing a place like this. I am saying this because I was once here some years ago when I saw needles in the washroom. We also came here after our lunch at Maxim?s to buy some buns and we noticed that some of their customers were down and out (if you know what I mean). So that formed an impression in me that this is not exactly a family restaurant. To me I am no snob when it comes to food. I will go where there is something to learn about even if the food is nothing great. Sorry you gotta take this blog as it is ? warts and all. I don?t usually got to fancy schmancy places. I am just fascinated with the New Town Bakery and Restaurant because it...

Meat and Bread: Bakkwa and Croissant
2011-01-17 18:54:00 You know what is the hottest restaurant in Vancouver right now? It is this restaurant called Meat and Bread located in Gastown. It seems everyone is raving about it (despite the high prices) ? and I am not sure exactly why. The food there is simple, no frills ? just meat and bread. The choices you get there can be counted with just one hand (just four items!). Given what they offer on the menu, I think they could even sell it off a food cart. They don?t need a restaurant for this. I am sure the food is good and that plays a big part in its popularity. But maybe too its the simplicity of the food. I don?t know ? I still have not figured that out. No, I have not tried Meat and Bread (the restaurant) yet. I will some day when I get the time to go downtown to try it. I just need to convince myself that it is worth the trip going all the way there just for meat and bread. But for now ? I?ll just do my own meat and bread. I think I want to write a series on ?Meat and Bread?! Suann...

Maxim?s Restaurant: Not Only Just A Bakery
2011-01-12 22:30:00 Suanne and I hardly go to Chinatown anymore. We used to. Many many years ago, we would drive down to Chinatown at least twice a month to buy groceries and also have dim sum. And then we stopped going. There was no longer a need to drive all the way there as we get better food and groceries in Richmond. It had been so long, we just lost touch with Chinatown. Thomas recently wrote to us about a restaurant where he had a dish called Baked Portuguese Pork Chop with Rice. He said it was called May Sum. We searched high and low on the internet but we could not find it. It was only a week later that we realized that he was using the phonetic translation of the Chinese name of the restaurant. So May Sum is actually Maxim?s which is a more recognizable name. We had always thought that Maxim?s only a bakery. We see a lot of Maxim?s bakeries around town. However, they also have a restaurant, a Hong Kong Style Cafe, on Keefer in Chinatown. We were not aware until Thomas told us.

Penang Delight Cafe: "Got-got-got. Everything Also Got."
2011-01-11 09:01:00 Suanne and I don?t normally return to the ?crime scene?. Once we write about a restaurant, we hardly go back for a second visit. There are simply too many other restaurants out there for us to visit and write about. What more, all you readers out there has this insatiable appetite for more new posts on restaurants. But this time I am gonna make an exception. We re-visited Penang Delight with Ron and Nancy again to try dishes we missed the first time we were here. You see, we were very ?mm-gum-yuen? from our previous visit (see post here). We were there on the first day of business and the restaurant was completely overwhelmed with the reception they had. Almost everything we wanted to order on their menu, they ran out of it. Assam Laksa ?> sorry! Pan Mee ?> sorry! Penang Char Koay Teow ?> sorry! Bah Kut Teh ?> sorry! Loh Mein ?> sorry! So yeah, our heart is so ?mm-song? already. You know the feeling right? It is like unrequited love. Something like that. Oh ...

BT Cafe: More Than Likeable
2011-01-10 15:00:00 Many of us likes to root for the underdog. I am one of those. When LotusRapper left a comment last month about BT Cafe, he was describing how this little known restaurant is new, small, the prices are cheap, the food is solid and is run by a young couple. Then JJ chimed in and said that the young couple is trying their hand at owning a small business for the first time. The husband is in the kitchen and the wife runs the front of the house. At the back of my mind, I was thinking that perhaps how this young couple put down all they had to start the business. The restaurant business is not the easiest to be in. It is risky and it involves long hours. Most restaurants even work 7 days a week. This is one restaurant that I would like to visit. For me it is not always about the food or the ambiance or the service. It is also very much about the people behind them. I want to go check them out and write about them. I want to see if there is a chance for me to give this fledging new busi...

Weekend Musings: Vancouver Food Blogs Rock The World and List of Most Activ
2011-01-10 03:50:00 We all know for sure that Vancouver has a very lively and active food blog scene. A little while back I put up a blogroll of all the Vancouver Food Blogs on chowtimes (link here). To tell the truth I was completely and pleasantly surprised that we have so many food blogs dedicated to writing about restaurants and dining outs in our city. Do you know how many sites there are on the chowtimes? blogroll? 114! Isn't that awesome? Just last week, Fairchild TV aired a documentary on chowtimes. In the introduction, it highlighted a point I made about how active the food blogging site is. In the absence of a better stat, I pointed to Fairchild the Urbanspoon Leaderboard above. As you can see, Vancouver dominates 6 of the top 7 positions on the leaderboard for the number of posts published. The top Vancouver food blogs lead all the other blogs by a far margin. [Note: Victoria in the list refers to Victoria, Australia ? not BC] So that brings to our mind. Does Vancouver have the bigge...

iSpicy Sichuan Hot Pot on Kingsway, Vancouver
2010-10-29 03:26:00 It was cold. It was damp. And we were hungry as we drove along Kingsway looking for a place to eat. It was past 2PM already and we only had a cup of coffee and shared a bagel between us since morning. We were telling ourselves that half of the restaurants would probably be closed for the mid day. I caught a glimpse of the "All You Can Eat $17.95" sign outside the restaurant and said Suanne maybe we should just try this place. It's not in our list of restaurants to-try but I fancy hot pot. It was after all a cold day. Nothing but a Sichuan Hot Pot to spice things up. iSpicy is an odd name. It sounded more like an internet cafe than a traditional hot pot restaurant. We went in and we were warmly welcomed. The owner and his wife barely speaks English. We are OK because we don't need to know a lot of Chinese when it comes to AYCE and hot pot. But as it turned out, we had a very interesting time there. We had a glimpse of what it is like in the struggles of a restaurant owner. W...

Delicious Chinese Cuisine on Kingsway, Between Victoria and Knight, Vancouv
2010-10-26 09:01:00 Suanne and I had to run out for an errand that Saturday weekend. So we plan to go for an slow and leisurely dim sum since we had time to kill. We know exactly exactly the place to go to. I had been there for lunch alone before and I was quite impressed with the variety of dim sum that had on the menu. Some of you know me already, about how I look forward to non-traditional dim sum items. Siu mail, har gow, rice rolls and stuff like that bores me. But this restaurant has more than that. Their dim sum slash lunch menu has over 100 items. And what more, 40% of them are just $2.75. The restaurant name is Delicious Chinese Cuisine, not to be confused with the Taiwanese restaurant called Delicious Cuisine in Richmond which won 2 CRA awards in 2010. Delicious Chinese Cuisine is located along Kingsway somewhere almost in the middle between Victoria and Knight. When I first came across this restaurant, I thought that this is a Mainland Chinese restaurant because of the bright yellow and...

Bao Chau Spring Roll Specialty House on E Hastings and Slocan, Vancouver
2010-10-22 17:30:00 On most Fridays when Suanne and I have our date night, she would take transit and meet me at my office in Burnaby. It works better for me that way because if I get home, I just can't go out again. Moreover, from Burnaby as a staging point, getting to any part of Metro Vancouver is just a short drive. I remember someone telling me that of all the cities in Metro Vancouver, Burnaby is the most central location. It sounded kind of right when he told me that Burnaby is at most just one bridge away from everywhere else. Yeah, sometimes people measure distances by the number of bridges you have to cross. Since we started off from the Metrotown area, we decided to venture north. It is a part of the city that we don't go to often because of the distance from home in Richmond. East Hastings, there are a lot to discover along this street. We thought we go to where Luda is to take a couple of pictures to post on the blog. Remember we asked if anyone wanted to help us make up a table for...

"Stanley Cup Favorite" Vancouver to play the Blackhawks Tonight..
2010-10-20 22:16:00 Nothing better to cap off a hard working hump day then a matchup between the 'Nucks and Blackhawks at the United Center. Let take a look at tonight's storylines: Can Buff get into Luongo's head? Will Ladd and Kesler duke it out over a 2 year old playoff beef? Will Eager grab hold of a Canuck's pants and body slam him to the ice? Woops...give me a second while I pinch myself. Okay, back to reality. Are we even rivals with Vancouver anymore? It seems most of the fuel that made this rivalry burn resides in Atlanta now. The only memory I have that still has some relevance is the one of tough guy Alexandre Burrows yanking on the...

Top Ten Vancouver Canucks I'd Like to Take a Swing At
2010-05-11 12:28:00 With so much bad blood bubbling over between the Chicago Blackhawks and Vancouver Canucks, it's only natural that it'd carry over to their respective fan bases. Over the first five games, I'm sure there are plenty of Chicagoans out there who have a few Canucks in mind they'd love to take a swing at. I'm no different and to prove it, here are my Top Ten.

Blackhawks talk of the town in Vancouver--now shut up damn it and kill &apo
2010-05-06 18:49:00 Some reporters wanted to dig to the rock bottom of the nasty stingers and zingers, back stabbing and frontal fulminations, get a detailed dialogue of the character assassinations and personal enmity that were occurring right in front of their eyes. Nothing intrigues more than hate unleashed, mouths unchecked, witticisms thrown like an ice-packed snowball with intent to injure. Words are weapons and, as slow and staid and emotionless as Game 1 was in Chicago, who knew that our Stanley Cup semifinal series would devolve into a game of X-rated Scrabble by Game 3. The reporters' frustration was in seeing the victims stabbed verbally, flayed and fricasseed, but not hearing the screams the cuts elicited at General Motors Place in Vancouver....

Blackhawks, Ladd debate meaning of cowardice with Vancouver and dole out a
2010-03-06 05:34:00 All those people who tuned in and turned on to the Olympic goal medal game should have been watching Friday night's first period at United Center. The Blackhawks deserved their attention. It was really better than Team Canada-Team USA for my money. There was classic hockey and flashy hockey and griity hockey and smart hockey and bad goals and good goals and old-time hate and modern-day courage. Andrew Ladd was your master of ceremonies. He laughed off being called a coward weeks back by Vancouver's Ryan Kesler, fallout from their personal run-ins. But he wasn't laughing when he made sure to pay Mr. Kesler a visit just shortly after the game began, deciding the Canucks needed to know it's not...

The NHL teammates were chosen by their respective coaches to be on the ice for the start of the overtime period in a contest that former Blackhawk star and American native Jeremy Roenick called "the most important game in the history of hockey." In a game that was watched on countless televisions sets across North America, the Chicago Blackhawks young guns were front and center. Even skating for rival countries wasn't enough to seperate the duo whose upward track to sports stardom continued to gain elevation through a highly successful Olympic tournament. Only Toews will return to Chicago with gold...

Compared to the 2006 Games in Torino, the American athletes in Vancouver feel more at home. "When we were in Torino, there was a little bit of a disconnect. The two villages seemed further apart," Baver said. "[This year] I've seen a lot of the athletes that are competing in Whistler...we've been following each other, watching each other and supporting each other." Partly responsible for this is the cyberspace support from Twitter and Facebook. "Now with Facebook fan pages, we're fans of everybody's," Baver said.A brief web-surf confirmed that. ...
