Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighborhood: Mount Pleasant
Comfort food under one roof. That's how I'd describe Burgoo. After a day of Boxing Day shopping, my brother & some friends settled in here at the bar while the hockey game was on. It was a perfect end to a hectic shopping day.

I was told the Sticky Toffee Pudding is the best here. And it sure was! I haven't had toffee pudding in a while....I also heard the Molten Lava cake is good too :)
5. Guu Garden
I guess I'm biased. But my alliance still lies ith Guu with Garlic on Robson. It used to be my go-to whilst living in Vancouver. But this time, we decided to check out Guu Garden and I was pleasantly surprised that they have my Guu staples, yakiudon…More »

Please also try the Spicy Miso Ramen which is flavourful with every slurp!
My only complaint,…More »

So we're back for a friend's wedding and J is craving sushi - somehow sushi in NYC cannot quite hit the spot like Vancouver does. Cheap, fresh and so satisfying - we hit up J's old lunch spot after the wedding ceremony.

Hilarious place for breakfast. Do expect the following:

A beautiful boutique hotel, small with warm and friendly staff. We didn't stay for long but I was quite impressed by the rooms and the floor we were on. Ornately decorated in the Soleil theme, the room was very large.

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighborhood: West End
Not the best bubble tea i've had. But its my go-to when i crave BOBAs on Robson, seeing how there aren't that many quality bubble teas on Robson street. Starbucks on the other hand? Take your pick...there are like 4 alone on Robson.
My bubble tea…More »

Category:
Vietnamese

Pho, in my opinion is all about the beef and the broth.
Pho Hoang houses the best combination of both. Especially their broth..It's simply lip smacking. This is my go-to for Pho in the Vancouver downtown area. *SLURP*
