If you haven't been to Barnston Island, you're missing out on an adventure. First, there's the wacky ferry to get over there. It's basically a tugboat with a barge attached that chugs back and forth across the river every ten minutes or so. You can…More »
Seriously good sushi! Never mind the neighbourhood ... and yes, it's dodgy as all get out ... inside you're welcomed by the Japanese proprietess in kimono and if you like, can occupy one of the little tatami-matted booths along the walls. (Remember…More »

Indian-style Chinese? Chinese-style Indian? I could never keep it straight in my mind which one Green Lettuce is, but was sufficiently intrigued to bookmark this place. Many moons later, I got down far enough on Scott Road to try it out.
Turns out,…More »
I'm glad we finally ventured into the Round-Up Cafe. This place is a diamond in the rough - the rough being Whalley. But this little diner on King George Highway is cute and cool and clean, with it's speckled vinyl booths and central lunch counter…More »
There is no way your eyes could be bigger than your stomach at the Fresgo Inn. Portions are simply enormous here - from the man-sized flans in the dessert case to a Ukrainian sausage that's sure to bring out your immature side ("Oh, I've never had a…More »
Two things to know right away: don't come here if you have a peanut allergy - they use peanut oil used to cook the fries and offer free peanuts for "appetizers." Definitely do come here if you are HUNGRY - between the free refills on pop,…More »
A pretty damned good donair, if you ask me. There are over 10 varieties on offer in this tiny shop, each with your choice of meaty goodness. From Turkish to Lebanese to Canadian (with crispy onions and mushrooms) each pita is sauced and stuffed…More »
You don't have to ride a Harley to eat here, though you can get your picture taken with one if you want (there's a wall full of photos of would-be Hog riders).
I rolled in one day (in my super-badass Civic), lured by the $5.95 burger special sign out…More »
I don't golf, but I've eaten lunch several times at the Surrey Golf Club and never had so much as a bad minute. The servers are great, the food is tasty and cheap, and on sunny days, you can't beat their big patio overlooking the course - and miles…More »
This store may have the widest selection of produce I've ever seen - it just keeps going and going. All kinds of varieties of apples, pears, lettuce, herbs. Organic and non, farm grown and imported. Flowers and plants for potting, plus soil. All at…More »
Sushi bars are as common as Starbucks out in the wilds of Surrey, but I like this place because it's Japanese run and it has the little private rooms along one wall.
They emphasize the visual here. In Japan, presentation is as important as flavour,…More »
I use the SkyTrain pretty regularly these days, and there are days when I actually love it. Such as when you're flying along the Expo Line on a sunny day and look out to the south to see the Fraser Delta and the islands, and to the north to the North…More »
An unexpectedly good pub lunch in the thickets of strip mall Surrey. My co-workers and I came for Friday lunch. The Man's policy sez: no drinkin' during workin' hours, or going back buzzed, but that's fine because Jack's actually has a nice list of…More »
Vacation in Washington State (18)I love a local vacation. Washington is so close to BC, yet has cheaper shopping and better customer service overall, plus the same fabulous West Coast scenery. |
Shopping for food (21)I love to cook, so food shopping is my favourite type of shopping, from big grocery stores for the everyday stuff to specialty shops for Wow factor ingredients. I like it local too. |
Adventures with Groupon (8)The end results of getting tempted by online deals and social coupons. |
Store pets (6)Visits with cats and dogs who live in retail land. Only by shopping the indies can you have these encounters, by the way! |
Diners (14)All you need is fries... and grease ... and bacon. |
Can't talk, eating (3)The multi-tasking reviews ... food so good, I just gotta write about it now. |
Two sticks and a ball (4)Dealers in needles and yarn for my knitting habit. What did you think I was talking about? |
Playing House (5)In which I try to grow up and stop living like a student. |
Bright Lights, Royal City (50)Places to go and things to do in New Westminster, BC. It's a weird place but it kinds of grows on you after awhile. |
Bad tables in nice restaurants (5)I made reservations. So why am I sitting next to the kitchen or bathroom? |
