4222 Village SquareWhistler, BCBeing a well-known establishment famously featured in the 6th season of Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen, of course I had to try Araxi while in Whistler! Admittedly though, I didn't have very high expectations due to some mixed reviews I've read online. However, in the end, I was thoroughly impressed with that night's dinner.W and I had a really tough time deciding

Hard work definitely gets rewarded! W recently won an award for excellent customer service at his company, and his reward? An all-expenses paid (sort of) weekend trip to Whistler!!! I was just lucky to tag along :)After an uneventful drive up the newly upgraded Sea to Sky highway, we arrived at the Chateau Fairmont to check in. It was already mid-afternoon so we quickly dropped off our bags,

791 West GeorgiaVancouver, BCFor my second DOV excursion, I visited YEW restaurant + bar located inside The Four Seasons Hotel. This time, dining along with me were W and our friend/colleague Miss K. I've previously eaten at YEW once and that was nearly 2 years ago but I so remember clearly the salmon I had was incredibly delicious. I haven't had the chance to do a re-visit since then so this was

3rd Floor, 1128 West Georgia StreetVancouver, BCOn the first night of the Dine Out Vancouver event, W and I had the opportunity to go to MARKET by Jean-Georges located in the Shangri La Hotel in downtown Vancouver. I wanted to try this place for last year's DOV but all the bookings were taken so I was pretty estatic to get reservations this year.Upon entering the restaurant, the hostess opened

Lucky Joy BBQ Restaurant11780 Thorpe RoadRichmond, BC Do you know how many years it has been since I savoured this delicious, salty canned fish?? When I was small, my family used to open a can of fried dace in black bean sauce (FDBBS for short) to add to the dinner table once in while. Then, for some reason, this particular canned product just disappeared and it had also disappeared from my

1690 Robson StreetVancouver, BCWhat's a better way to cure the winter chills than with a nice steaming bowl of ramen? One evening in early January of this year, my boyfriend (and eating partner haha) W and I went to Hokkaido Ramen Santouka for dinner. After reading excellent praises from another food blog, I really really wanted to try the toroniku (pork jowl or pork cheek) ramen.We had a choice
