Dinner at Bourbon St Grill

After a long, rainy day at Burnaby Village Museum, we decided to have lunch in Metrotown food instead of anywhere else. Surprisingly good food at Bourbon St. Grill

Desserts from Ice Cream Parlour

We had the Ice Cream Parlour inside the Burnaby Village Musem. It feels like we're in the 1920s, eating at this place. We only are interested in their yummy looking cakes.

Lunch after Boxing Day shopping at Ryuu Japanese Kitchen

After four hours of shopping and buying all the things we need, time to have lunch at Ryuu Japanese Kitchen! The Appetizer menu has all the things we like about Japanese restaurants, so we end up getting Chicken Karaage and Gyoza. We also got Yam Fries just because we can.

Trying the Famous Beef Roll at Peaceful Restaurant: A Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Experience

After watching the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode featuring Peaceful Restaurant, we knew we had to try Guy Fieri's recommendations for ourselves! We were just here last week for my birthday dinner , but we enjoyed the food so much that we had to come back to try the specific dishes featured on the show. It is one thing to see those hand-pulled noodles on TV, but it is another thing entirely to smell them hitting the table. The star of the show is undeniably the Peaceful Beef Roll . It is a crispy, flaky flatbread wrapped around tender five-spice beef, hoisin sauce, and fresh cilantro. It is easy to see why this is their most famous dish because it is the perfect blend of textures and savoury flavours. Peaceful Beef Roll We also ordered the Mu Shu Stir-Fried Noodles . These hand-pulled noodles have that amazing "chew" that you can only get when they are made fresh. Mixed wi...

Peaceful Restaurant Favourites: Xiao Long Bao and General Tso's Chicken

It was my birthday week, and the Filipino in me was having a serious craving for rice! You know how it is—sometimes nothing else will do. While we were walking around Cambie Street, we decided to stop by Peaceful Restaurant to satisfy that craving and have a nice, peaceful dinner. Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings) You can't go to Peaceful without getting the Xiao Long Bao . There’s something so satisfying about that first bite when the hot broth hits—just be careful not to burn your tongue! These were a great way to start our birthday meal. General Tso's Chicken The General Tso's Chicken is always a crowd-pleaser. It has that perfect sticky, sweet, and slightly spicy glaze that pairs perfectly with—you guessed it—plenty of rice! Peace Ho...
