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.

Cafe D’Lite Kitsilano Review – Malaysian & Singaporean Cuisine
South East Asian cuisine, more specifically Malaysian and Singaporean food, is some of my all time favourite fare. Having lived in the region when I was younger, the textures, tastes and aromas always evoke a comforting sense of nostalgia. One of the problems living in Vancouver (apart from the rain!) is the lack of great [...]
Aree Thai Restaurant Review
Aree Thai Restaurant provides authentic Thai food in East Van’s Kingsway area. Tuesdays to Sundays they offer $8.50 lunch specials from 11:30am – 3:00pm.

Since Aree’s lunch specials are such a great deal, we both ordered [...]

I find that we purchase deals, but end up forgetting about them until after they have expired. I don’t know…waste of [...]

The restaurant is always packed, and when the weather’s nice and the sun is shining, their large patio is always full of eager customers. Part of the reason Sabhai [...]
Bo Laksa King’s Bubbles And Bits Review
During our recent epic trip to Asia (HK, Macau, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam), a substantial duration of time was devoted to eating in the city-state of Singapore (the ultimate foodie nirvana, if you ask me). On numerous occasions, we gorged Anthony Bourdain-style, on delectable dishes such as nasi goreng, beef rendang, laksa, satay, and roti [...]
