Baguette Time Review – Screamers

on July 4, 2011 in Cafe, Dessert, Downtown, West End

Today was the perfect sunny day for an ice cold creamy screamer. What’s that you ask? Well, we previously blogged about Danny’s Screamers in Richmond, and heard from 604 Foodtography that screamers are also available at Baguette Time in the West End, and Husky Market on King Ed & Oak. We tried Husky’s screamers last […]

Great Wall Mongolian Barbecue Restaurant Review

on May 3, 2011 in BBQ, Downtown, West End

Disappointed with his first ramen experience, the next day my brother decided to try another restaurant and cuisine just down the street from Kintaro, on Denman & Alberni — Great Wall Mongolia Barbecue Restaurant. This is an AYCE (all-you-can-eat) restaurant where you fill your bowl (lunchtime prices: $7.95 per bowl, or AYCE for $9.95) with […]

Kintaro Ramen Review

on May 1, 2011 in Japanese, Ramen, West End

Ukrainian Village Restaurant Review

on February 17, 2011 in European, West End

Personally, I love Ukrainian food. Part of the reason is that I have a fondness for anything with sour cream. Although an acquired taste, I’m also a huge fan of beets. Cabbage? Love it too – it’s a cancer fighter, you know. Don’t even get me started on perogies…heaven. There aren’t very many authentic Ukrainian […]

The ramen restaurant company has many locations in Japan, two in Hong Kong, two in Singapore, and even seven in the U.S.A. Their only Canadian location is on Robson Street (corner of Bidwell) in the West End of Vancouver, BC. It’s always quite […]
