900 West Lounge – White Monkey Paw

Okay, so we’ve had one of the great DealFind coupons for Afternoon Tea at the Fairmont Hotel burning a hole in our pocket since last year.  We originally visited last summer and were quite pleased… especially with the raisin scones (see our first visit).

Genji Japanese Restaurant

Genji Japanese Restaurant has been around for a couple of years and I’ve often wondered how.  Located in the Market Crossing shopping area (near the Marble Slab Creamery), this spacious Japanese restaurant always seems to be empty whenever we pass by.

The Bakehouse in Dundarave – Posh Smoked Salmon Brunch

We were up in the Dundarave area early one morning but had some trouble finding somewhere to eat.  We were originally going to try the Dundarave Fish Market but, when we walked in, they told us the restaurant side wasn’t open until 11am so we trodded back down the block to try out The Bakehouse in Dundarave again.

Savary Island Pie Company

While I’ve never been much of a pie-eater before (I’m more of a cake-person), I have to admit that my interest in pies peaked while watching Pushing Daisies a few years ago.  In that show, Ned, the main character (who has the unique ability to bring people back to life – with possible dire consequences) runs a place call The Pie Hole.

Kirin Seafood Restaurant – Dim Sum

Usually when we stop by City Square for some shopping, we stop by Kirin for dim sum.  Depending on the week, it can get pretty busy here during dim sum (especially around things like Mother’s Day or Chinese New Year).  Fortunately, when you’re just a two-person party, it’s pretty easy to squeeze in.

Thai Express (Park Royal) – Chicken Noodle Soup

Okay, this isn’t a big review… see our last visit to Thai Express (Park Royal) for more details.  On this recent visit, we tried one of their massive noodle soup bowls with chicken.

Fisherman’s Terrace Seafood

Fisherman’s Terrace Seafood is a busy Chinese restaurant located on the third floor of Aberdeen Centre in Richmond.  If you’ve managed to fight your way to an empty parking stall, this can be a good place to pick up some dim sum.

Keg Steakhouse and Bar (Still Creek) – Kansas City Strip

The last time we were at this Keg, I had a great Flat Iron Steak with Truffle Mac and Cheese but, as it turns out, they changed their menus recently and neither of these items were to be found when we dropped by recently.

Koryo Korean BBQ (Richmond Centre) – Jumbo Combo for Jumbo Appetites

Korean restaurants tend to be a bit on the expensive side and the same can be said of their fast food counterparts.  Take, for example, Koryo Korean BBQ located in the Richmond Centre food court (which has free wi-fi).  At $9.99, their Jumbo Combo is one of the more expensive dishes in their menu but you really do get a lot of food.

Malay Curry House

As I mentioned in our post for Penang Delight Cafe, it’s not always easy to find a good Malaysian restaurant in South-East Vancouver.  I had read some good reviews about Malay Curry House on Kingsway so I was determined to try them out after work one day.  As luck would have it, I called for take-out on a Wednesday (apparently they’re closed on Tuesdays).

Sun Sui Wah – King Crab 2012

Last year during King Crab season, we visited Sun Sui Wah a couple of times (see All Hail the King (Crab)! and King Crab 2.0) so it only made sense for us to start this year’s King Crab season at Sun Sui Wah again.

Triple O’s (Burnaby) – Chipolte BBQ Bacon Melt

What’s the difference between a White Spot and a Triple O’s?  My best guess is that Triple O’s is the fast-food equivalent of White Spot.  While you can still get the basic burgers, fries, and shakes that made White Spot famous, Triple O’s doesn’t have the full menu offering that White Spot has.
