Who knew Sundays could be sexy? Besides the barely dressed cheerleaders during American football season or that hot priest I've had my eye on, I've always assumed that Sunday was a time for dim summing, afternoon napping and cleaning - nothing overly…More »

A Banana's Guide (13)

My taste buds are trained and prepared for battle always ^_^ Hi-yah! *drop kick*

From Chinese pastries, to traditional dinner, BBQ and XLB (xiao long bao), these are my favourite places to satisfy my cravings.

Get Your Slurp On (6)

Slurp your way to the finish line - I'll race 'ya! My favourite Asian noodle joints.

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)
