Gelato from D'oro Gelato & Caffe

I enjoyed this meal last
It's a hot summer day in Vancouver and perfect for ice cream. We're walking along Robson street in search of dessert and spotted D'oro Gelato & Caffe. I love the display of the many Italian desserts they offer. Coffee Gelato This is the best coffee gelato I've had! The coffee flavour is so strong. Dark Chocolate Ice Cream We ordered our gelato in a cup to prevent mess, and we ordered extra waffle cones because they're delicious. D'oro Gelato & Caffe Gelato Flavours Gelato Flavours Desserts in display I want to try all their desserts! It looks so good. By the time we arrived at Sunset beach, our gelato is gone. Happy Saturday!

Filled Ring Dream Donuts from Tim Hortons

I enjoyed this meal last
Happy Thursday! We have tried all the Dream Donuts Tim Hortons have released this year, so when they announced two new Filled Ring Dream Donuts we just have to try it. Dulce de Leche Dream Donut from early 2020 Chocolate Hazelnut Éclair Dream and Sea Salted Caramel Dream Dream Donuts New York Cheesecake Dream Donut Dinner and Desserts from Tim Hortons Strawberry Shortcake Filled Ring Dream Donut The strawberry shortcake filled ring dream donut is much better than the vanilla cream puff one. Although, both is so much better than the dry Dulce de Leche one from 2020. The donut itself is soft and I love the crunch from the cookie bark. Strawberry Shortcake Filled Ring Dream Donuts What's inside the strawberry shortcake filled ring dream donuts? Vanilla Cream Puff Filled Ring Dream Donut It's nothing spectacular about this one. If you're going to try one of the dream donuts, get the strawberry shortcake. Vanilla Cream Puff Filled Ring Dream Donuts What's inside the Vanilla

Canada Day Ice Cream from Purdy's Chocolatier

I enjoyed this meal last
Happy Canada Day! We spent an hour in a nearby park to play Pokémon GO and about 30 minutes shopping for summer footwear. Then, as we take a stroll along South Granville, we grabbed ice cream from Purdy's Chocolatier. Almond Praline Inside the store, they have special Canadian Collection Gift Tins, which are adorable.

Canada Day Dinner from Salmon 'n' Bannock

I enjoyed this meal last
Happy (almost) Canada Day! This year we have decided to celebrate the non-working day by having dinner from Vancouver's only Indigenous-owned and operated restaurant, Salmon 'n' Bannock. They have a different menu for dine-in and to-go customers. As such, more delicious-looking items can only be ordered if you're dining in. Tip 1: Come early They open daily at 3:00 PM. We went there at around 6:30, and they're busy! All the tables are occupied. Moreover, there are even people outside waiting for their to-go orders. We wanted many things from their to-go menu, like the Open-Faced Bison Sandwich and Signature Bannock with House Chili. Both are sold out. Tip 2: Go for Salmon in a Bannock Dinner from Salmon 'n' Bannock Since a couple items we want are no longer available, we end up with Urban Smoked Salmon Burger with Coleslaw and Pow Wow Power Salad. Both are delicious, but I'll order the salmon burger again. Because of the excellent experience with bannock

Taro Cheesecake from Trees Cheesecake + Organic Coffee

I enjoyed this meal last
Happy Saturday! I am unsure how often Trees Cheesecake + Organic Coffee has a special cheesecake, but it sure is worth trying. I love the Matcha Cheesecake we tried earlier this month, and since my parents want organic coffee, hubby and I ordered the special cheesecake this time - Taro Cheesecake. The taro flavour is not as pronounced as the Matcha Cheesecake. Moreover, the taro latte was unavailable, which is unfortunate since I want to try it too. Taro Cheesecake I wonder what cheesecake they'll have next! Taro Cheesecake

Beat the Heat at MOSI Gelato

I enjoyed this meal last
It's my mom's 60th birthday, and it's Father's Day weekend; that's why my siblings and I planned a long weekend (3 days, 2 nights) trip to Victoria, BC. It's our parents' first time travelling outside of Metro Vancouver since migrating to Canada, so this is an important trip for them. It's also my first time in Victoria, BC, so yay! Ice cream! A friend of our only brother recommended that he tries the ice cream from two places: Kid Sister Ice Cream and Parachute Ice Cream. Kid Sister Ice Cream in Fan Tan Alley in Chinatown is closed, while Parachute was nearly a 30-minute walk from Rialto Hotel (where the family is staying), so we end up searching for the closest best ice cream and found MOSI Gelato. Salted Caramel Gelato There was a long line 5-minute before closing, and we felt bad for the only worker there. I am sure she's eager to close, but the line after us is pretty long (more than five people). After enjoying our gelato, we went to Beacon Hil

Trip to Victoria, BC: Dinner at Barb's Fish and Chips

I enjoyed this meal last
It's my mom's 60th birthday, and it's Father's Day weekend; that's why my siblings and I planned a long weekend (3 days, 2 nights) trip to Victoria, BC. It's our parents' first time travelling outside of Metro Vancouver since migrating to Canada, so this is an important trip for them. It's also my first time in Victoria, BC, so yay! Best Fish and Chips in Victoria, BC We boarded the 1:00 PM, BC Ferry today and arrived in Downtown Victoria at 4:00 PM. It was exhausting, but I am just eager to travel that after 30 minutes of unpacking, hubby and I started walking the Inner Harbour towards Fisherman's Wharf. It was a good 20-minute walk of sightseeing and taking pictures. When we got to Fisherman's Wharf, it reminded me of Steveston in Richmond, BC. There are a handful of food places here - there's pizza, seafood, Mexican cuisine, ice cream, mini donuts, and of course, fish and chips. I did my "food research" on the best fish and chips

Lunch from Bombay Kitchen and Bar

I enjoyed this meal last
शुभ बुधवार Happy Wednesday! Because my arm is still sore from getting the COVID-19 vaccine, we decided to order enough food to last for the week from nearby Bombay Kitchen and Bar at 11th Avenue and Granville Street. Food from Bombay Kitchen and Bar This is our first time ordering from them even though they are located a block away from our apartment. It's crazy! We actually didn't even go to Vij's when it was occupying this space. We ordered seven dishes and I'll share my review of each one. Bombay Mix Platter I love appetizers and when any restaurant has a platter of sort, I almost always get it because it allows me to try many different things. Bombay Mix Platter Veggie Samosa, Veggie Pakora, Chicken Pakora, and Fish Pakora. Based on the menu description, I couldn't find my favourite. I enjoyed what I think is fried tofu with spinach in the middle. It's so creamy and good. Tandoor Chicken I don't eat Indian cuisine as often as I could, so I have only trie

Ice Cream from Rocky Mountain Chocolates

I enjoyed this meal last
Ice cream! Ice cream! Ice cream! As mentioned in my previous post , I am rewarding myself for getting vaccinated with dinner and desserts. It was a hot day in Vancouver (26 degrees Celsius) so getting ice cream is needed. Dark Chocolate: Salted Caramel Ice Cream with Himalayan Salt I love both ice cream so much, but they're so messy to eat. I guess it's part of the fun. Dark Chocolate: Vanilla Ice Cream with Almonds Funny prints! Now remove all evidence of how much you enjoyed that ice cream! This is such a great way to start June 2021! Getting vaccinated and enjoying ice cream.

Lunch from Siegel's Bagels

I enjoyed this meal last
Happy Saturday! It's a beautiful sunny day in Vancouver, and hubby and I planned to go to Hadden Park. Before heading there, we decided to grab lunch from Siegel's Bagels. This place is popular! There's a long line of people placing their orders in person and more people waiting for orders at the pick-up window.   They also have an option to place your order using an awesome app. That's what we did. Hubby got the Reuben while I ordered Lox and Cream Cheese. For the Reuben, we picked Double Toasted Everything Bagel Reuben A layer of smoked meat, sauerkraut and melted swiss with mustard. Lox & Cream Cheese Wild Sockeye salmon and cream cheese with red onion + capers. I enjoyed both bagel sandwiches. The bagel is freshly made and the toppings

Croissants from Beaucoup Bakery

I enjoyed this meal last
Bon Dimanche! Happy Sunday! It's a cloudy day in Vancouver today, but we decided to take a walk around the neighbourhood. I enjoyed the croissants from Mon Pitou yesterday , and I thought of getting more, but I changed my mind and got a couple from Beaucoup Bakery instead. Thankfully, they're still open, and the line wasn't long. Butter Croissants and Almond Croissants I ordered a couple butter croissants, two almond croissants, and hot chocolates. We thought about enjoying it at a nearby park, but there are no available tables. Instead, we end up walking home to enjoy our croissants there. Butter Croissant The butter croissant is saltier and not as flaky compared to the one from Mon Pitou. Or it's possible that because I ate Atlantic Salmon Lox Bagel with capers yesterday that I didn't taste the salt from the croissants from Mon Pitou. I don't know; it just tasted like Beaucoup used salted butter in their croissants. That said, the almond croissant is so much b
