I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
Photo of the day: The view from the Stawamus Chief. Coming back to hike the Stawamus Chief made me very nostalgic, as it reminded me of my high school days when we would start off our camping trips with this hike. It is classified as an “intermediate” hike, but it can definitely feel challenging for… Continue reading Vancouver, BC, Canada: Hiking the Chief
I recently came back to my hometown, Vancouver, BC, for a visit and coincidently, my relatives from out-of-town were visiting at the same time. While showing them around, I was able to be a tourist in my hometown for a few days, which allowed me to compile a list of top tourist attractions in Vancouver,… Continue reading Vancouver, BC, Canada: Top 5 Tourist Attractions
“Maple Butter Pork Belly”, smoked salmon, “chicken wings” and quarter rotisserie chicken @ Homer St Cafe and Bar
I wanted to milk every minute of my time in Vancouver so I went on another food adventure with my Favourite Fellow Foodies (AKA FFF’s) before I had to leave. This time, we decided to be a little fancier and had lunch at Homer St. Cafe in Yaletown. Situated in a historic building, it really had… Continue reading Yummy (pork) belly in my belly!

Again, it was a modern, fusion Japanese concept. There were booths and a communal table as well. Everything was tapas style so we ordered… Continue reading Calamari – “Done the Right Way”
Green garlic bread and Mentaiko @ SPAGHeTEI
Update: This restaurant has permanently closed. I did not and will not give up on my noodle journey in Vancouver. The time, I had Japanese spaghetti at SPAGHeTEI on Robson. I never had Japanese-style spaghetti before but I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed, as this was approved by my favourite fellow foodies (try saying that a… Continue reading SPAGHeTEI!
