After a day of wandering around and hill-climbing in San Francisco, D needed some delicious, savoury Asian food. She had tracked down Osha Thai as being one of the better Thai food options in the city, and as we were staying downtown, we decided to head to the 2nd Street location. Decorated in the new-Asian [...]

Saturday am – out for Dim Sum – let’s try a new place. A has been here before and she likes how it has convenient parking in a parkade ($1) and is right across the street from Sun Yat Sen gardens. Inside, this place is cavernous – you could have a wedding for 500 here; [...]

Yes, we’ve been here before, but this is totally one of our favourite ‘cheap eats’ places in Toronto. It has all the ambiance of an anatomy lab – but who cares – it has some of the best Chinese vegetarian food that I’ve had in Toronto. Their mock duck (big pic, above) – tastes nothing [...]

Apparently, the story was that Rich Ocean used to be Cantonese food (I had eaten here before), and then changed to be Pekingese/Northern Chinese food (my apologies if I have categorized this wrong, but it was a person from China who told me this, and [...]

Dai Tung Chinese Restaurant – Vancouver, BC

Dinner on a Friday night to celebrate a special birthday – we went out to Dai Tung. Perhaps the subtleties of Chinese restaurants are somewhat lost on me, but they have a tendency to have similar food, a similar look inside, and similar service. I’m not saying by any stretch that they’re all the same [...]

In desperate need for new, savoury, good asian food we found this place online and decided to hit it up on (yet) another rainy vancouver night. Oddly enough, I have no idea what this place is called. On the door and on the menu, it says “Vancouver Vietnamese Restaurant”; online every place calls it the [...]

Do you ever get cravings for Asian food? Especially after eating too much western food? It was about 2:09pm in Boston, when after a weekend of western food, I just had to have some asian food. Being on Boylston street at the time, my options were fairly limited (you’ll know what I mean if you’ve [...]
