Maruwa Sushi Japanese Restaurant Review
Maruwa Sushi Japanese Restaurant is located right beside Tim Hortons in the strip-mall along Steveston Highway, between No. 5 Road and Shell Road.

Hog Shack Cook House Review – BBQ In Steveston
It has taken us a while to try Hog Shack Cook House in Steveston — but we’re glad we finally did.

Mui Garden Richmond Review

Parking appears limited but ample rooftop parking is available above the establishment, and we’re always [...]

Mary’s British Home Store Review – UK Sweets & Treats In Steveston
I fondly recall all the yummy British and Australian chocolate and candy that we used to indulged in while I lived in Brunei when I was younger. My all time favourite chocolate bar was Cadbury Top Deck – silky milk chocolate on the bottom and creamy, milky white chocolate on top. Luckily for me, there [...]
