Ma Dang Goul - Robson Street/West End

My friend and I just happened to pass by and since I just love korean food I dragged him in. And wouldn’t you know it was his first time to try korean dishes and he LOVED IT!

Later, I found out it’s one of the top ranking korean restaurants in Urban Spoon. The place isn’t even posh or anything. It’s a small, narrow strip with small tables and a little kitchen but they’re praised for their homemade kimchi and is said to be one of the most authentic korean food you could get in Vancouver. Lucky choice!

Tsui Hang Part II

Guess who went to Tsui Hang Village the second time around? Me! After watching an event at the Queen Elizabeth Theater I led my family to the corner of Granville and Davie.

This place is like a secret door to a different time. It seems far away from the busy streets of Granville. Trust me, when you’re hungry and you’re looking for a quiet place to eat, this is the perfect place.

Hot & Sour Soup

Honey Garlic Pork Ribs

Seafood Fried Rice

Beef + Pasta Noodles

On the house dessert

Family and friends enjoyed the meal. They appreciate my recommendation. But of course! 

P.S There is a minimum $8/person every weekends and holidays. 

Tsui Hang Village Seafood Restaurant

My friends and I were looking for a restaurant to eat in and with all the choices along Robson street, we found ourselves at the tip of Granville Street. We were making our way back when I saw a small building on the corner. It had Tsui Hang Village Seafood Restaurant fancily written on it. Although you wouldn’t expect it from the exterior, the place was very spacious with draped circular tables, high ceilings, golden vases, statues and a crystal chandelier as a center piece above. The stark white lights and black minimalist lines surrounding the area are reminiscent of Chinese restaurants in the Philippines. We had Barbecue Duck, Beef Hotpot and Yang Chow Rice. It wasn’t busy because it was late in the evening so all the servers had their eyes fixed on us but aside from that minor discomfort they were very attentive and nice.
It only costs $12 for half a barbecue duck. It was very crispy and juicy, and enough for three people!

The three dishes fit perfectly with each other. We were a wee bit afraid the prices would go over our budget but it wasn’t even expensive. We only spent around $30.00 for three without finishing everything!

This is definitely one of my favorite Chinese Restaurants.


Spring Garden Chinese Seafood Restaurant

Main Meals:

Duck with Lemon and Ginger, Tofu in Seafood Hotpot

There’s only a few chinese food places in the area of New Westminster and judging from Urban Spoon’s review, this place is pretty neat. I feel conflicted about my experience here though.

On my first visit, the woman was constantly on the phone for take-out orders but despite that, she was very friendly and accomodating. We were the only people in the restaurant so I took the time to observe my surroundings. It’s not very well-kept and I’m not so keen on some of the decors. 

For the food, they were alright. I guess I didn’t like the duck I ordered since I wasn’t used to it. Overall we paid around $40.00 for a meal for two. Quite expensive.

Suga Sushi Restaurant

Hey guys! Sorry if I’ve been away again, recently I’ve been eating out more than I’ve been cooking so I’ve decided to open up my submit box and give everyone the chance to share their dishes, recipes and restaurant food you enjoyed, so please feel free to send it to my submit box. And if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask me on my askbox.

Leaving you with a set of korean dishes I devoured at Suga Sushi!

Verdict: Delish! :))))

Frizberry frozen yogurt. Around early 2010 when Cebu only had two froyo stores and Cagayan de Oro had none. I flew to Cebu intent on satisfying my cravings!

When I’m not cooking up something in the kitchen I’m eating so I thought about merging my eating and cooking habits into one blog. I already have a humongous backlog of food photos since my gastronomical adventures in 2008 ( Not countiing 2007 because I didn’t have any camera in those days yet!)
