Balilicious Modern Indonesian Restaurant Review
Formerly called Saté Satu — meaning ‘one satay’ — Balilicious Modern Indonesian restaurant is located on Cambie & West 19th Avenue in Vancouver. Batik and other Indonesian handicrafts are displayed throughout the small restaurant. A couple of pairs of colourful wooden clogs adorn the wall – a glimpse of Indonesia’s Dutch colonial past. Indonesia and [...]
Copa Cafe Cambie Review – Hong Kong Style Cafe
Copa Cafe (yes I’m humming Manilow’s Copacabana right now) is managed by former chefs and staff of nearby Cafe Gloucester. Incidentally, we’ve visited Cafe Gloucester a couple of times, as seen here and here. As expected, their menu items are quite similar, as is the aloof and hectic service. Since it’s a newer establishment, the decor [...]

Whole Foods Market (Cambie) Salad Bar Review

There are also more substantial and heartier dishes offered, like fried chicken, lasagna, baked [...]
Cafe Gloucester Review #2
We previously reviewed Cafe Gloucester earlier this year for lunch. We were in the neighborhood of South Cambie, so we decided to try the Hong Kong Style cafe’s dinner menu. Cafe Gloucester’s extensive menu made it difficult to choose a dish! Luckily we arrived before 6:00pm, so we were able to order off their “Tea” [...]
Stella’s on Cambie Review
Stella’s on Cambie & 17th looks a lot different from the outside. Firstly, there’s a barbershop right out front which was a little confusing. The exterior looks very 50′s diner-ish so I was expecting to see turquoise blue vinyl booths with checkered tiles on the floor and a waitress name Dolly smacking her gum while [...]
