welcome to my hood!

I Love Apple Pie :) (14)

It doesn't have to be a special bakery, or a dessert shop... as long as there's apple pie.. I'm willing to try (hehe I rhymed!)

Brunch'n Eggs, French Toast, Pancakes & MORE! (6)

"I'll Substitute for Yam Fries Please" (14)

Yummy sweet potato options

Bubble Tea Shops and other Drink Wonders (7)

Don't think that if you go to a bubble tea shop that you are obligated to order something with pearls! There are also many flavours of jellies.. or you can opt out and just enjoy fresh fruit, milk teas, or regular tea. It's a world of choices!

Vancouver Magazine's 101 Best Eats (43)
