City 1 Cafe – Singaporean & Malaysian Cuisine Review

on May 18, 2012 in Malaysian, South East Asian

City 1 Cafe is a little Singaporean and Malaysian restaurant located in a strip mall (where Safeway is) on King Edward Avenue, just passed Oak Street. They’ve been open since December of last year and have been receiving positive reviews from diners. But what does Eating in Vancouver think about City 1 Cafe? Now remember, […]

Tamarind Hill North Vancouver Review

on January 10, 2012 in Malaysian, North Vancouver

I know I’ve previously declared my love for South East Asian cuisine – mostly, because it’s delicious but also because the food summons a sense of nostalgia, having lived in Brunei when I was younger. Malaysian, Indonesian, Bruneian, Singaporean share many of the same dishes such as laksa, nasi and mee goreng, roti, murtabak, etc. […]

Mamak Malaysian Cafe Review

on December 6, 2011 in Gastown, Malaysian, South East Asian

Located inside Pub 340, on Cambie Street in Gastown, we found Mamak Malaysian Cafe. Word on the street was that Chef Charles of the former Jonker Street cafe in Yaletown (now Fresh Bowl) created Mamak Cafe as the main kitchen of Pub 340. Always on the look out for great South East Asian fare – especially […]

Banana Leaf Malaysian Cuisine Fairview Review

on November 30, 2011 in Fairview, Malaysian, South East Asian

The award-winning Banana Leaf (and Tropika) restaurants pretty much have a monopoly on Vancouver when it comes to Malaysian food. Banana Leaf Malaysian Cuisine has four locations in Vancouver, and their colourful decor and good prices attract many customers. The restaurants are so popular that they have been voted “Best Malaysian/ Best South East Asian” […]

Balilicious Modern Indonesian Restaurant Review

on November 7, 2011 in Cambie Street, South East Asian

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 […]

Cafe D’Lite Kitsilano Review – Malaysian & Singaporean Cuisine

on July 26, 2011 in South East Asian

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 […]

Bo Laksa King’s Bubbles And Bits Review

on March 11, 2011 in Malaysian, South East Asian

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 […]

Bo Laksa King Review

on April 20, 2010 in South East Asian

We just returned from lunch at Bo Laksa King which was a perfect way to spice up this wet and dreary afternoon. Bo Laksa King is a tiny restaurant inside Joyce-Way Food Market (4910 Joyce St. & Wellington), in East Vancouver. It’s run by Bo and his wife Tiffany, who are a warm and friendly […]
