I can't help but love this place. My grandma used to take me here when I was a teeny tiny toddler (I think I was styling the bowl hair cut at that time *ponders*).

Our favourite mid-afternoon snack was HK-style milk tea, HK-style ying yang tea (half…More »

I know. If I heard it from you, I would have told you you're full of &*%^ too.

But with a hand on my heart and fingers rested on my chopsticks, I swear I have found a Hong Kong cafe with decent - and some may even claim, good - service. They even…More »

I really miss Dinesty's food, it is hands-down quality delicious. The XLB (xiao long bao) is the best in the context of restaurants (much better than Shanghai River): thin dough and pain-killer good soup and pork. If you're looking the BEST XLB…More »

Recently updated lists from Claudia L.

Get Your Slurp On (6) Slurp your way to the finish line - I'll race 'ya! My favourite Asian noodle joints.	For Two Please (13) Cute and cozy places to catch up with an old friend or take a date. Let the wine flow and the conversation pour.
Hippie Service Syndrome (8) Local. Delicious. Independent. Places where I will suffer in lengthy line ups and understaffed kitchens. Places that give me the perfect excuse for a long lunch with a good friend :)	Sushi in Burnaby-ish. Best Bang for your Buck (5) Burnaby/Lougheed. It's not the trendiest place to eat and you won't find fusion of any kind but I've discovered places that will satisfy any sushi lover (even the ones that call themselves foodies) for a good value. p.s. I try to bring my own containers since most municipalities don't recycle styrofoam yet tear drops for Mother Earth. It's a bit dorky, I know.
SFU Burnaby Student Eats (7) Places with cheap prices, decent food and easy to get to for any SFU Burnaby student. From bubble tea, to bar food, to all of our favourites - good sushi! Unwind after exams or fill up for studying! Since the food up on campus makes me want to change universities, I decided to gather my foodie knowledge for my fellow SFU Burnaby students :)	Do Da Dim Sum La (10) Honger peace sign My top 10 favourite places to go for dim sum ordered by taste.
