Despite the weird eclectic music blasting from jazz to metal music, the food more than compensated for it.

I had the $25 prix fixe which consisted of...
1) appy = sea salt & pepper calamari (light and tasty!)
2) entree = ginger shrimp with veggies and…More »

This is where I have food envy. I ordered a so-so dish of fish and lobster ravioli. Whereas my friend, Mo had lamb with king crab leg. His food was freaking awesome! I tried some and I secretly wanted more but I didn't dare ask because he was in the…More »

This bakery cafe has a lot of hype and it didn't live up to it.

Why is it worthwhile to checkout? The bakery offers many tempting choices, unfortunately for me, I choose bad. I don't recommend the blueberry bran muffin unless you "need" it, if you…More »

As a museum geek, I always zoom into the local museum whenever I visit a new city. The Royal BC Museum is great! Though I think I would enjoy it more if I was kid. Lots of fun stuff to see and touch. The totem pole collection were quite impressive.…More »

I was hoping for the half-dome or full-dome but nope, it's a large format screen. Despite that, I enjoy coming to this theatre. It's located inside the Royal BC Museum behind the ticket booths.

I recommend EXTREME and COSMIC VOYAGE. I was very…More »

So by accident I've discovered the REI equivalent in Canada! Look at the photos I've posted, it's just like REI except it's cheaper (check CA to US dollar exchange rate) and it called MEC!
