Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Shaughnessy, South Cambie
What's happening to this place? After a recent renovation it's rapidly beginning to be in disarray. There are boxes everywhere. There's trash on the floor...unkept floor I must say. And there are hand-written signs everywhere you look.
They now…More »

7. Bubble World Robson
I haven't been here in a very long time since I discovered Dragon Ball. What happened to this place? I don't know if there was a change of ownership, but it has definitely gone downhill from being middle of the road.
1. The sign says due to increasing…More »

8. Anny's Dairy Bar
Thanks to Jenni and her review of the day for Anny's Dairy Bar, we today set out to New Westminster to try it.
The original Maple Twist is a winner! Real cream soft serve ice cream. Real maple butter twisting around from top to bottom. Real good. May…More »
9. Emma Lea Farms

This place has a wonderful quaint feel. Starting from the small parking lot to the two shacks. Beyond these is an expansive field catered for u-picking.

Let's get this out of the way: cash only.

Ah, the Mee Goreng. Fried thin yellow…More »

Latin American

My first pupusa experience - fresh, exciting, and wickedly cheap! Can't wait to do it again! These mini-tortilla look-alikes were baked to order here, with tempting array of different fillings. I got crazy and ordered a variety, all of which tasted…More »
12. Neptune Wonton Noodle
NOTE: This review was originally posted on 08/11/2009. Yelp took the liberty of deleting this review and restaurant listing altogether and then joining it to the other restaurant, Neptune Sharkfin Seafood, which is a more expensive restaurant with a…More »
13. Chiclets Tea House
Amidst the produce market inside Crystal Mall lies a little mom-n-pop shop offering tasty Taiwanese staples and boba, err, bubble tea. I swear I heard angels singing the minute I saw this bubble tea store offering Taiwanese ice shaving desserts,…More »

Singaporean,
Malaysian,
Food Court
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
This is a hidden gem amongst the rest of the treasures abounding in the Aberdeen Food Court. I say hidden, as greasy wings from Wo Fung, and cream puffs at Beard Papa are the star of the shows here. I had clear intentions to have Hainan Chicken and…More »
15. Pine House Bakery
Richmond, BC V6X 3Y2
(604) 821-1139
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Located at the lower level of the Richmond Public Market, this bakery is busy at most times which should be an excellent sign that turnover is quick. The cocktail buns and pineapple buns always come out fresh from the oven. They have an open bakery…More »
16. Lily Bakery
My word to your tummies, the spanish bread is good! This sweet and tad salty soft bread with sugar, vanilla, and butter all combined as a sugarlicious filling is a must, must try. Enough to make your belly a big happy carbo loaded one!

Category:
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhoods: Riley Park, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
The only REAL reason why you would want to trek to this grocery store out of a countless other Filipino and Filipino-Chinese style grocery stores in the Vancouver area is for three things:
1. Filipino-style Lechon de Leche (a whole roasted pig for…More »
18. Summer Night Market
Better than last year. Although the food is generally the same and some of the vendor attendees you definitely recognize every year, there are new concoctions that make you salivate and/or raise your eyebrow. For the foodies, it's definitely exciting…More »

19. GMen Ramen Shop - CLOSED
The sign prominently indicates this new ramen joint in Richmond as 'Gyoza King produced'. As such, for all downtown Gyoza King fans out there, this is a must try only for their own twist on the Japanese noodle classic, tonkotsu ramen. I'm not sure…More »

Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
"You get what you pay for. As simple as that."
VALUE FOR MONEY. This is as affordable as you can get for dim sum in Vancouver. It's good. No stand-out dishes or service, but man is it cheap. Don't be afraid to over-order. Your bill will still come…More »
21. Angel Cafe
With a plethora of Hongkong style cafes in Vancouver, Angel Cafe is one several HK style joints maybe worth trying ONLY if you're up for that Asian-Western comfort food. Expect the typical scene in a HK style cafe, buzzing crowd, long lines,…More »

Vancouver, BC V5W 1R7
(604) 325-5544
Categories:
Chinese,
Doughnuts,
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Sunset, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Walking into Duffin's Donuts was like walking into a scene from Lynch's Twin Peaks. Driving into the place reminds me more of restaurants that I come across on a road trip to nowhere. The interior vibe and ambience reinforces this notion.
Duffin's…More »
23. Tandoori Tikka Dog
'It's the newest street dog in town!.. the hottest perhaps? NOT! Japadog could heave a sigh of relief for now.
First things first, this doesn't have the oomph and character coolness of Japadog that locals and visitors have grown to love. No long line…More »
