1. Shanghai River
Richmond, BC V6X 4J4
Canada
(604) 233-8885
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
With every bite of their Xiao Long Bao comes a mixture of ecstasy and depression as my taste buds were met the soup that just bursts out, I realize that any of these Shanghai dumplings from Seattle will simply fail to measure up. It's almost…More »
2. The Cultch
Vancouver, BC V5L 2H6
Canada
(604) 251-1363
Categories:
Performing Arts,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
The Cultch is so small and intimate, it truly has no bad seats in the theater. We sat in the balcony seats, but yet we were still less than 30 feet away from the stage.
The Cultch also gets bonus stars for bringing Nina Arsenault's gripping…More »
3. Fisherman's Terrace Seafood Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
Canada
(604) 303-9739
I have four words for you: DEEP FRIED CHICKEN KNEES.
How many chickens had to die for a small dish of chicken knees? The answer is... NOT ENOUGH.
This dish is so good that every time I come up to British Columbia, I make a point to stop off for dim…More »
4. Japa Dog
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2K6
Canada
Categories:
Hot Dogs,
Food Stands,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Oh, JapaDog, you have outdone yourself.
I've loved your TeriMayo Dog and Okonomi Dog, but this weekend I was able to try your Yakisoba Dog.
Yes, you can make a hot dog and bun even less healthy by adding greasy, sodium-packed fried-yakisoba noodles…More »
5. Guu
Vancouver, BC V6E 1W2
Canada
(604) 685-8817
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
GUU! GUU!
While waiting for our table in this tiny restaurant, my stomach was making garbling noises that sounds exactly like the name of this restaurant. The funny thing? I wasn't even hungry when we first got here.
Guu was recommended to us --…More »
6. Gelarmony
Gelarmony is almost idiot-proof.
Atop each gelato tray, is the real ingredient -- which helps those of us who are not a gelato connoisseur.
For less than $5, I got two scoops of gelato -- Kinder Egg (it's less appealing without the toy in the…More »
7. Vera's Burger Shack
While we were in Vancouver, we kept seeing the tagline, "You Can't Beat Vera's Meat."
Each time I saw that line, I thought the literary device of double entendre truly is not used enough in everyday life especially with how much enjoyment I get out…More »
8. Kintaro Ramen Noodle
Kintaro has a stanchion to maintain their lines. Yes, Kintaro needs it. We waited outside the front door for half an hour on Sunday at 4:30PM.
The waitresses work their tails off to ensure efficiency -- the first 2-3 groups in front of the line…More »
9. New York Fries
You always remember your first time. That's right. I lost my poutine virginity here.
I was apprehensive at first. Poutine? Allow me to be a little immature, but that word doesn't sound that appealing... But when I found out it was french fries…More »
10. Bodhi Choi Heung Vegetarian Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V 4E4
Canada
(604) 873-3848
Category:
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: Riley Park, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
10% OFF!
While I was there the last time, I found that they offer a 10% discount on take out orders. This comes in handy as we never dine in and always take out since Bodhi Choi Heung is a place where we come to stock up on vegetarian Chinese BBQ…More »
11. Kam Do Restaurant & Bakery
Richmond, BC V6X 3W5
Canada
(604) 231-9216
For my family, Kam Do's Wife Cakes, candied winter melon filling in a flaky pastry, has been a permanent pit stop for us whenever we do a road trip up to British Columbia. We usually take this opportunity to stock up and buy multiple boxes --…More »
12. Lee's Donuts of Granville Island
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
Canada
(604) 685-4021
Category:
Doughnuts
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Four for creativity, two for execution.
While on Granville Island I was able to try the following donuts: Honey Dew, Mango Madness, and Coconut Cream.
What I got were soft, sugar-dusted donuts that were quite fluffy. Unfortunately, the Honey Dew…More »
13. Giordano
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
Canada
(604) 295-8172
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
I visited Hong Kong in 1999 and the whole time I just shopped. At the shopping centers, I kept seeing the same chain stores over and over again: Bossini, G2000, and Giordano. Throughout the duration of that vacation I loved browsing and shopping…More »
14. Cupcakes
Vancouver, BC V6E 3V5
Canada
(604) 694-2052
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
I came back for a Mini Blue Hawaiian (Blue Vanilla Frosting + Coconut Cupcake) and Cookies and Cream Cupcake. This time around, Cupcakes' cake are on the drier end of the moist spectrum.
The Cookies and Cream…More »

15. True Confections
Vancouver, BC V6R 2B9
Canada
(604) 222-8489
Category:
Desserts
Neighbourhood: Point Grey
While driving through the West End on Sunday Night at 10PM, we noticed that True Confections was open -- this made me super happy because that meant I was able to avoid having a McFlurry for dessert.
True Confection's service hours is their biggest…More »
16. Mazazu Crepe
Richmond, BC V6X
Canada
I can't say that Mazazu's Japanese crepes are so great that it is worth going specifically into the Aberdeen Center, especially with the heavy traffic of the parking garage.
However, if you were already there for the H Mart or for Fisherman's…More »
17. VooDoo Palace
Richmond, BC V6X
Canada
(604) 295-8177
Category:
Toy Stores
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Cute store. Very cute. Who knew you could turn voodoo dolls into something... well... so cute? Giving them names, magic powers, and a backstory? That's just well... cute.
They're not for me though... they run from $12 - $25 and frankly that's…More »

Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
Canada
(604) 273-3669
Categories:
Chinese,
Food Court
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
While my friends and I were at the Aberdeen Center... we had a debate: should we do dimsum at Fisherman's Terrace or should we eat at the food court so we don't take up so much time? In our group of five, my friend and I wanted dimsum, while the…More »
19. The Centre
Vancouver, BC V6B 2W1
Canada

Categories:
Venues & Event Spaces,

We stopped by The Centre last weekend to take part in the Vancouver Comedy Festival, with headliner, Betty White.
Having read the reviews about how little leg room there is here, I psyched myself up to think that my evening at The Centre would be 2…More »
