T-Go Tea - Naturally-Flavoured Bubble Tea in Richmond [REVIEW]

I love bubble tea (or boba for you Americans). Even though I'm a fan of these specialty tea drinks, I'm aware that many "traditional" shops serve up slushes full of sugar syrups and milk teas with flavoured powders. That's a pretty poor »

Harvest Haus Returns for Year 4 - Vancouver [EVENT]

It's October which means harvest season is in full swing. Harvest Haus [http://www.harvesthaus.com/] is returning to Vancouver for its 4th year but in a location that's 50% larger than last year. As Vancouver's largest Volkfest, Harvest Haus has relocated to the »

Foreign Cinema - Dinner and a Movie in San Francisco [REVIEW]

Commonly known as "The Mission", the Mission District in San Francisco is home to many restaurants, bars, and nightlife events. While the age-old "dinner and a movie" date is still prevalent today, few venues (apart from drive-in theatres) manage to capture its essence quite as well »

Paramount Fine Foods - Lebanese Cuisine in Vancouver [REVIEW]

Lebanese food can be hard to come by in restaurant form. In Vancouver, there are just a small smattering of them not named Nuba. So when I found out Paramount Fine Foods [www.paramountfinefoodsbc.com] (a Canadian chain) was opened along central Robson Street, I was curious. Does this chain »

Yale Saloon - BBQ Food in Downtown Vancouver [REVIEW]

I'm a big fan of barbecue. Whether it's the smell of brisket, slurping savoury sauces, or the finger-friendly madness, I'm in. And cornbread. Delightful, delicious cornbread. Having barbecue options downtown seems pretty essential to a night out, so it's almost fitting that »

TWG Tea - Mooncake Collection - Vancouver [REVIEW]

The mid-autumn festival is fast approaching (October 4th) so you're going to start seeing mooncakes in bakeries. Among stores celebrating the yearly harvest is TWG Tea [https://www.twgtea.com/] in Vancouver. With tea-infused mousseline or lotus pastes, these are some of the most luxurious mooncakes you can »

Two Rivers Specialty Meats – 2-in-1 Butcher Restaurant - North Vancouver [PREVIEW]

When I think of butchers, I see dark-looking places with questionable UV trap lights for insects (I spent a lot of time in Chinatown as a kid). When I heard Two Rivers Meats [www.tworiversmeats.com] was opening a restaurant in addition to their butcher shop, I knew it was »

Rice Burger - Burgers with a Japanese Twist - Vancouver [REVIEW]

This review is not for protein hustlers. For the rest of us carbloaders though, Rice Burger [https://www.facebook.com/pg/riceburger604] has recently opened up in the former Sasamat Pizza space in Vancouver's Point Grey neighbourhood. Has the bread bun in traditonal hamburgers been holding you back »

Rad Tea Room - Clean Bubble Tea in Downtown Vancouver [REVIEW]

Anyone who's had traditional bubble tea know milk powder, tea powder, and cheap pearls are as classic as it gets. At Rad Tea Room [https://www.radtearoom.com/], the concerns of such overly sweet, processed flavours are addressed by real ingredients and a workflow that produces your drink »

Cactus Club - Frosé™ Review - Vancouver

You know a drink is serious when it gets trademarked, right? I kid you not, Cactus Club [https://www.cactusclubcafe.com] has one drink pegged with a trademark symbol on their Sunday Funday drink menu. Being a basic soul for rosé, I knew it was only a matter of time »

Umaluma - Dairy-Free Gelato in Vancouver [REVIEW]

I love ice cream as much as anyone in Vancouver. Lactose intolerance doesn't stop me from enjoying this sweet dessert but I admit I get pretty pumped whenever I hear of a dairy-free option that's not sorbet. In comes Umaluma [http://umaluma.com], and my interest »
