Happy Friday! My husband is a romantic and would insist that we watch a movie every Friday night. So we usually would watch movies on Netflix or DisneyPlus. But for tonight, we went to the Cineplex at Marine Gateway to watch the Bob's Burger Movie. We absolutely love the series (especially the Thanksgiving and Boyz 4 Now episodes).
Anyway, before the movie, we decided to enjoy burgers from A&W.

Teen Burger A perfectly seasoned grass-fed beef patty topped with real cheddar cheese, mouth-watering bacon from pork raised without antibiotics, crisp lettuce, onion, tomato, pickles and Teen® sauce, served on a freshly toasted sesame seed bun. |
|
|
Baby Burger A perfectly seasoned 1.6 oz grass-fed beef patty topped with ketchup and served on a freshly toasted bun. |
|
|
Sweet Potato Fries Sweet potato fries, served with spicy chipotle mayo. |
My husband enjoyed the Teen Burger, which has bacon (his main requirement for a burger). Meanwhile, I had the lowest-calorie burger, which is the Baby Burger. You can really taste the beef with that one. Finally, we shared the Sweet Potato Fries and enjoyed the chipotle mayo.
Yaguchiya Ramen announced in its Instagram account that it will be closing the restaurant in Burnaby. Their current location will be demolished to give way for a new building.

Their last day at the current location (4679 Kingsway, Burnaby, BC V5H 2B3) is on June 20, 2022.
It's not all doom and gloom because they will move to 1521 West Broadway, Vancouver BC (which is the previous location of Bob Likes Thai Food) and be part of the vibrant South Granville food scene.
I am so excited to finally get a ramen shop so close. Right now, the closest ramen shop is in South Cambie (West Broadway and Cambie Street) on the east and Gyo-Para on the west which is all the way in Arbutus street. On northwest, there's Danbo Ramen on West 4th Avenue.
I can't wait to see Yaguchiya Ramen.
Yaguchiya Ramen just posted on Instagram that they are moving with Kamei on Broadway at 601 West Broadway.
I can't wait to have their ramen again.

Joyeux Lundi! Happy Monday!
We're walking home from Commercial Drive and decided to stop by Foret Noire Patisserie. It's so clean and quite intimidating, but the viennoiserie they offer is familiar.
I ordered a Plain Croissant and Tiramisu while hubby picked the Chocolate Croissant. We also ordered to-go a box of their European Cookies.

It's definitely the best Tiramisu I had. The coffee flavour is mind-blowing.

Happy Monday! It's a non-working holiday in British Columbia as we celebrate Victoria Day.
We needed the exercise and decided to walk 5 kilometres to Commercial Drive from our home and another 5 kilometres going back. I made a list of restaurants, coffee shops, and dessert shops along West and East Broadway between Arbutus Street and Commercial Drive as part of our Boosting Broadway Businesses campaign.
At the end of our walk (when we reached Commercial Drive), we decided to grab late lunch at Hon's Wonton House.

Happy Sunday! It's the second day in a row that we grab breakfast from Tim Hortons. This time we took advantage of the promo "2 Can Dine for $8.99 - All Week," which means 2 Coffee, 2 Classic Breakfast Sandwiches, and 2 Hashbrowns for $10.00 (including tax and cup charge).
I should have used the same promo yesterday and saved almost $5.00. Oh well.

Our youngest sister's birthday celebration is today, and she requested that we have a game night.
We started the day by watching Spider-Man: No Way Home because my brother and husband have not seen it yet. I don't really have an affinity for superhero movies except for Spider-Man. Even then, the only ones I watched were the three movies with Tobey Maguire; apparently, I saw the first Andrew Garfield, which I didn't even remember.
After the movie, we had lunch. My mom cooked her Filipino-style spaghetti, and we ordered fried chicken and sides from LA Chicken. Lastly, we had a Costco chocolate cake.

We also watched The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin so that my younger sister's Canadian boyfriend could learn about Filipino humour. It's funny. Even our youngest sister's best friend had a laugh.
Then, we had game night. We played Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle all night (until 10:00 PM). Then, finally, we reached Book 5 and couldn't get past it. We almost defeated it during the last round, but Voldemort and his Death Eaters took over all our locations. I can't wait to play again!
If you've been following my blog (which only my husband and mom does 😅), I try every new Dream Donut from Tim Hortons that I could.
Today, we had S'mores Dream Donut. It's delicious. There's chocolate inside and the graham on top provides some crunch. Overall, one of their best Dream Donut.

S'mores Dream Donut from Tim Hortons This Dream Donut combines the classic and nostalgic tastes of S'mores in a way that's unique to Tims. The ring donut is packed with rich, delicious chocolate filling, dipped in marshmallow-flavoured fondant and topped with graham cracker crumble, and a drizzle of chocolate fondant. |

I arranged it alphabetically instead of chronologically.
Happy Saturday! We're starting our weekend with Steak and Eggs sandwiches from Tim Hortons. I had one sandwich with Homestyle Biscuit and the other with English Muffins.

Hubby and I agreed that the Homestyle Biscuit was the better option.
Happy Friday! I had a stressful afternoon which is never an excuse to stress eating, but here we are at Legendary Noodle along West Broadway for dinner.

After dinner, we walked along West Broadway from Laurel Street to Maple Street and back to our home. We were discussing possible project names for our plan to support Broadway businesses (specifically restaurants and coffee shops) affected by the train line's construction.
