So – the old Rich Ocean Seafood Restaurant has re-opened. 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 [...]

Dai Tung Chinese Restaurant – Vancouver, BC
November 21st, 2009 · 1 Comment · Asian, Chinese, Kid-friendly, Vancouver
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 [...]

Amazing.
Not only does he produce the best pastries that I have had in North America – and better than many I have had in France, but he has replicated his business in North Vancouver and opened a Kitsilano branch.
He will be busy.
Saturday morning – about 11:30 (late start) – we [...]

Osteria Al Nono Risorto – Venice, Italy

Now this is one restaurant that deserves a Bib Gourmand certification – delicious dinner for two including wine (yes, in Venice) for €27? The owners should be called magicians, not restaurateurs.
Let me back up. Last night we walked by a huge mob of people outside of this restaurant – [...]

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 [...]

Bakeries occupy this special place in my heart – the good ones are run by people who love food, who put that love into what they do, and produce an exceptional product that just makes you happy. Flour is this kind of a place.
Sunday morning – pouring rain [...]

Jade Dynasty – Vancouver, BC
October 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Asian, Chinese, Kid-friendly, Vancouver
Sunday am out for Dim Sum with family. Jade Dynasty was recommended because Dim Sum before 11am (at least on the weekends) is 20% off, and family members had been here many times before with good results.
We made a reservation (pretty much mandatory for weekends), and our table [...]
