Yakiniku!!! omnomnom

bad idea to look at food pics at 3:30am :/

   

CXXIV : Almost Forgotten

Months ago, my family and I went out for dinner... I told myself I was going to blog about it. And guess what? I almost forgot, but here I am now sharing some months old food pics

amuse bouche - Im not a big fan of foie gras but I really love the crispy fruit and nut bread chips

Had crab cakes and caesar salad for appie (no pic of the caesar salad)

Caesar salad is my fave kind of salad. I really liked how the one we had has hearts of palm and candied orange peel and house-made bacon

the highlight of the meal!!

especially when you got it for FREE

we also got free drinks and dessert

filet mignon oscar with dungeness crab, bearnaise sauce, asparagus and sweet pea puree and pommes frites

i think this one is not in the menu anymore.. lobster~

fish and cous cous.. not quite sure what kind of fish anymore.. they had changed some items from the menu so Im no longer sure about what goes in there

and lastly dessert..

a mix of all the desserts in one plate..

ice creams are all made in house

   

XCIV: Bye Twenty-Eleven

Twenty eleven brought a lot of changes.. I thought about giving up this blog, but I ended up keeping it (glad I did).. though 2010 had been more exciting, 2011 brought a lot of unexpected and yummy things.. XD

So the usual year-end summary (?) :)

January~~

I look soo different haha

LXXX: Downtown

Prolly removing disqus was a great idea then? xD So anyway its my summer vacation already,


but I guess Vancouver mightve skipped Summer as its getting colder and colder here  brrr and i thought I could throw my jackets and go back to wearing shorts again, hmp
 scratch that ~ Vancouvers weather so unpredictable.. It was soo cold during the weekend but sunny the last days

Anyway school had been fun, though it wasnt what I expected of... I found some people to be really rude and some of their comments, conversations to be racist and ugh. And there are these people who acts nice in front of you and then youll find out that theyre actually calling you a f***ing azn b**ch. So nice of them eh


On the bright side I told you guys that I work at a 5 star hotel, so yeah I get to see and talk to the great Chefs and cooks there. They always ask about school and gives tons of advices. Also I had new friends and got to go around Vancouver~~~ pictures!! ^___^

So last month? I met Insu then he introduced me to his friend Ray. They have this book about Canada, you know those travel books and they wanted to try one of the restaurants in there so that led us to Robson Street but then decided to go to Steamworks in Gastown near Coal Harbor instead. On the way we got distracted by the view in Canada Place~ North Van is sooo pretty!!

I guess Steamworks was a pretty famous restaurant, I love the interiors but it was way tooo crowded so its hard to take pictures. We had the tempesta pizza and the chicken tenders and fries. It was good but nothing really special.

Then we went to Vancouver Outlook~ 

Dont you just love the City Lights?
