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]

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 »

Hawk & Hen - Waiting on Brunch in Victoria [REVIEW]

A day trip to Victoria can be hectic enough as it is. Between the 3 hours spent commuting on a ferry and the distance to and from terminals, I like to keep a soft timer on things like meal time and chopping out itinerary items in case there isn' »

45 Degree Bubble Tea - Shaken With Ice [REVIEW]

I've recently begun a bubble tea phase. It's probably because my workplace is near a bubble tea place that lets you choose from all sorts of teas. I guess it's only fitting that when Eat With Mao [http://eatwithmao.com] hit me up to »

Chef's Table Society - Wild Salmon Celebration [RECAP]

As far as wild versus farm salmon, I'm definitely for team #wild. The usual inhibitor is cost as wild salmon is pricier. I was geniunely interested when I heard the Chef's Table Society of BC was hosting a Wild Salmon Celebration. »

2017 Ford Escape Titanium - 4WD Compact Crossover [REVIEW]

Some things are massively easier with a car. I got a chance to test drive the 2017 Ford [http://www.ford.ca/] Escape Titanium and so I did a couple weekend trips to Bellingham and Victoria to judge how the vehicle fits into my vacation lifestyle which is really a »
