Seoul Food and Cheeseburger Poutine in BC Place

It's our first time in BC Place for the year. My primary goal is to take pictures of the menu to write this food guide blog post. My secondary goal is to try new items inside BC Place.

Korean-style Fried Chicken from Seoul Food in BC Place

For tonight, we ordered from the new concession stand: Seoul Food, serving Korean-style fried chicken. We ordered the Spicy Korean Glaze and Original Korean Fried Chicken.

Original Korean Fried Chicken
Crispy Battered Chicken Breast, crisp lettuce, cheddar cheese, and special house sauce.

Unfortunately, both were dry as a dessert. So it drained moisture from my mouth that the first bite of the Cheeseburger Poutine (a new item from The Poutinerie) felt dry. I cannot in good conscience recommend Seoul Food. My husband pointed out that it was stale and must have been sitting there for at least 10 minutes. The flavour of the chicken was delicious, but it was so dry. If it came out fresh to order, it could be one of the must-try items inside BC Place.

Because I was so disappointed with the fried chicken's dryness, I ordered the new Cheeseburger Poutine from The Poutinerie. The first bite felt dry, which I blamed on my earlier meal, but the cheeseburger was surprisingly good. I love the onions and how juicy the topping is. Flavour-wise, I still recommend the Shortrib Poutine.

Cheeseburger Poutine
Ground beef, diced onions, cheese curds, shredded cheddar, red wine gravy, and green onion.

I think I would like the cheeseburger poutine more if they find a way to melt the shredded cheese somehow.

The food may be bad this evening, thankfully the Vancouver Whitecaps FC won 5-0 tonight.

Guest Post: House Special Soup (Phở Dặc Biệt) for lunch at Little Saigon Yaletown

This post is written by my husband.

Yesterday, I met my manager for lunch. It is an extension of our 1-on-1 meeting. We went to Little Saigon in Yaletown and I ordered the House Special Soup (Phở Dặc Biệt).

It has a little bit of everything and is perfect for a cold winter day.

Trying ALL Stuffed Cheesy Bread from Domino's Pizza

 We were pumped! It's the first game of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC for the Major League Soccer (MLS) season. We're excited that soccer is back! We also played well during the first half but then... the second half happened, and we're back to our usual losing ways. Sigh.

As part of our back-to-back game experience (the Canucks lost their game today, too), my younger sister and her boyfriend picked up LA Chicken and Domino's Pizza. We had a Pepperoni Pizza, and I asked her to order all three variants of the cheesy bread.

It has a crunchy outside texture with nearly burnt cheese, then the inside is soft, chewy, and cheesy. 

If you like the Stuffed Crust from Pizza Hut, then the Domino's Pizza Stuffed Cheesy Bread is for you.

Meanwhile, if you want something more, then the Domino's Pizza Stuffed Cheesy Bread with Spinach & Feta is the one to try.

Lastly, if you love spicy food, the Domino's Pizza Stuffed Cheesy Bread with Bacon & Jalapeno is the one to get.

I'll be happy just ordering the Stuffed Cheesy Bread and maybe one of their pasta than a pizza. It's such a fun day with the siblings.

Matcha Red Bean Smoothie from Chatime Canada

Happy Saturday! Hubby and I went shopping at Richmond Center, and I was feeling parched, so I decided to get the Matcha Red Bean Smoothie. It's part of their seasonal menu.

Matcha Red Bean Smoothie

I like the green tea's slight bitterness and the mushy red bean texture. It's enjoyable.

Nanaimo Bar from Blenz

It's snowing! We just came from church, and it was snowing on our walk home. We were looking to stop by and have tea and desserts on our way home, and aside from Tim Hortons, only Blenz Coffee is open.

I ordered a decaf breakfast tea, a Nanaimo bar, and a chocolate brownie. Yum!

Nanaimo Bar

Nanaimo Bar (if you're unfamiliar with this indulgent treat) is a Canadian classic that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. It is made from layers of chocolate, creamy custard, and a crunchy coconut-graham crust.

Chocolate Brownie

A bite of sweet dessert followed by a sip of hot, bitter tea is perfect for this evening. I hope you had a wonderful Wednesday.

Salmon Cream Udon at Suika Snack bar

Happy Wednesday! There are days like today when all I need is a warm hug and my favourite food from Suika Snack Bar to make things a bit better. I absolutely love their Signature Beef Curry topped with Tonkatsu (Pork Loin Cutlet), while my husband ordered the Salmon Cream Udon from Today's Special menu.

Suika did not skimp on the salmon flavour of the Salmon Cream Udon. The salmon flake is covered in a salmon cream sauce topped with salmon roe. It's delicious! Try it before it's gone.

Chicken Dashi Kara-age
Juicy deep fried chicken thigh, crispy on the outside and filled with rich dashi shoyu flavour

If you love Japanese curry, then Suika's version is a must-try. It's my ultimate comfort food. But, of course, I also ordered the juicy, tender Chicken Dashi Kara-age.

My worries and problems are still there, but I find comfort that Suika will always provide my favourite meal.
