Dinner at Cactus Club

Happy birthday, Sister! =)

We had dinner earlier today to celebrate the birthday of one of my dearest sister. She chose the Cactus Club Cafe to celebrate her birthday because we haven't tried eating there yet. She made the 6 PM reservation and thanked God, she did! For a Wednesday evening, the place was packed. We all ordered what we wanted and had dinner.

Appetizer for Everyone: Beef Carpaccio

I had Pesto Chicken Quesadilla.

Lunch at Saboten in Aberdeen Center

I love Japanese Curry! If you need a fix of Japanese (or any Asian) cuisine, you should definitely go to Richmond.

The curry from Saboten tasted like what you would expect from Japan. The meat was tender (though a bit too oily), and the sauce was at the right consistency. Overall, I am happy and satisfied with my Japanese Curry.

Lunch at IHOP

International House of Pancakes.

My dad is flying back to the Philippines, and our family had lunch together at IHOP as my youngest sister suggested. It was awesome!

For youngest sister, Crispy Chicken Strips and Fries

For only brother, Classic Breakfast Crepe

For younger sister, Banana Crepes with Nutella

For mother, Southwestern Club

For father, Strawberry Banana Pancakes

We had so much fun eating and bonding over lunch.

Friday Night Out at Pumphouse Taproom

My sister wanted to go out last night because it was Friday. Again, ever since we attended the travel meetup, she wanted to try something new every Friday after her classes. Since I can't accompany her yesterday to the Vancouver Lookout Tower, She suggested we go to a restaurant or bar in Richmond. After researching, she decided we should try Pumphouse Taproom because she wanted some alcoholic drinks.

I, on the other hand, am a foodie, so I was after trying out their food. I had their Prosciutto Chicken Burger while sister had a Calamari.

Prosciutto Chicken Burger

Calamari

The Calamari was superb. It was crispy and wasn't chewy or oily at all. I wish I could say the same for the Chicken burger. Sadly, the burger I ordered was dry, and the whole thing was just tasteless. I was telling my sister that I should have probably ordered their other burger.

Ambiance and service were also excellent. It was a pub/bar because of the full range of beer and alcoholic drinks that they serve. There was a lot of TV screen, a fireplace outside, a billiard table, and some board games. It was a place where friends and colleagues would spend after office on a Friday night.

Lunch at Seto Japanese Restaurant

Last Christmas, I gave my siblings gifts that they wanted to have. Unfortunately, I never purchased anything for my parents, so I brought them to a Japanese restaurant yesterday because my mom had been raving about wanting to have Ramen and Tempura. After doing research, we were initially going to eat at Gmen Ramen Shop, but it is not open on Sundays, so we ended up at Sato Japanese Restaurant.

Sato is a posh, upscale Japanese restaurant that offers a lot of famous Japanese food. They have the usual sushi and sashimi, takoyaki and okonomiyaki, ramen, tempura, and so much more. Plus, the ambiance of the place is Japanese. Below is the food we ordered, and I was severely bloated after this delicious meal. They have all of my favourite Japanese food!

Mom had the Lunch Box A. Teriyaki Chicken, Tempura, California Roll, Salad, Sunomono, Soup, and Rice.

Meanwhile, dad had Shoyu Ramen. They agreed to share the food they ordered so they could try both.

Shoyu Ramen

I ordered all of my favourite Japanese food, which I shared with my parents. I got Salmon and Tuna Sashimi, Gyoza, Chicken Karaage, and Pork Katsu Curry on Rice.

Chicken Karaage

Pork Katsu Curry on Rice (Yum!)

There you have it, my second Food Trip in Richmond blog post. As soon as I get a job, there will be more food exploration in Metro Vancouver.

Lunch at Sakura Sushi (McLennan, Richmond)

I love Japanese cuisine. Currently, it's my favourite cuisine. Ever since coming from the Philippines and stopping over Japan for a 2-hour layover and eating my favourite Japanese Curry, I have been searching for the best place to try it in Canada, and I end up at Sakura Sushi.

Earlier today, I slipped on melted snow. I also attended a seminar which got me a little bit sad, so I need my comfort Japanese food. Sakura Sushi is a small no-frills restaurant that offers good Japanese food. When I go to Japanese restaurants, I have this list of food I must try which is Japanese Curry (if it's available), Gyoza (must-have), and Salmon/Tuna Sashimi. Upon reviewing the Sakura Sushi menu, they don't have Japanese Curry, but thankfully they have Gyoza and both Salmon and Tuna Sashimi. I was famished, so I ordered Chicken Karaage and a bowl of rice.

Chicken Karaage

I loved their Chicken Karaage but was disappointed with the Sashimi. Nonetheless, it was in an accessible location, and when I need a little pick me up food, I will come back.

Lunch at Toshi

I love-hate the airport. This is my last lunch (for now) with my boyfriend. Hope to see him again soon.

Bento Box

Dinner at Triple Os

The boyfriend is leaving for the US tomorrow, then, he'll be heading back to the Philippines. I'm not sure when I'll see him again. For our last dinner, we went to Triple O for poutine.

Birthday Dinner Date at LA Chicken

It's my first birthday in Canada. We had lunch at Seasons in the Park with the family so I thought boyfriend and I should have a dinner date. I searched for nearby places we can walk at to eat and I found LA Chicken. They have the best-fried chicken in Metro Vancouver!
