MICHELIN Guide Vancouver 2022 was announced last night so this morning I spent time adding the 60 restaurants in one map.
I also changed the icon for restaurants that received the MICHELIN Bob Gourmands and MICHELIN stars.
I'm a foodie failure because I haven't visited any of the 60 places included in the list.
After our food coma AYCE dinner at Happy Lamb Hot Pot, we stopped by Tim Hortons before heading home. We ordered two of the special donuts that are available year-round.

After doing the Great Trek and having lunch at Kinton Ramen, hubby requested sweets, so I searched for the nearest cake source, and Google Maps suggested Loafe Cafe.
When we arrived at the store, there were no cakes, but many pastries were available.

It's now starting to get colder and rain is back in Vancouver. With that in mind, there are two food I love to keep me warm: Ramen and Pho.
In this post, I will make a list of best pho (Vietnamese Noodle Soup) spots in Vancouver according to articles in the first page of the Google search results.

I cancelled my HelloFresh Box last March because cooking is exhausting. HelloFresh would sometimes send me coupons via email, which I just promptly delete, but they sent me a snail mail of a 50% discount on my first two boxes if I came back before October 15, then 20% for the following two boxes after that.
I won't pass up free or at least discounted food, especially with inflation.
Our HelloFresh box arrived Saturday morning via FedEx.
When did we enjoy this? Sunday and Tuesday lunch
Instead of garlic salt, I would be happy to grate and use real garlic to get the "garlicky broccoli" because this meal came out bland.

Yum! I wished I had cooked the orzo for a couple more minutes to make them softer, but the apricot chicken was delicious! I wished there were more vegetables in the "veggie orzo," but overall a delightful meal I'll be happy to order again.

When did we enjoy this? Monday dinner
This is the first time in a while that we decided to eat one serving for one meal instead of splitting it in two, and there's a lot of salad, and I used the wrong plate because it's spilling. I'm not sure if the "garlicky hummus" adds anything to the salad, but the falafel, croutons, and all the vegetables work well together. The radish is a nice touch.

The Thai-Style Sweet Chili Chicken had a substitution of sriracha instead of Chili-Garlic Sauce. The dish gave off a funky smell. I love the heat, but something felt off.

When did we enjoy this? Wednesday dinner and Friday lunch
This meal smelled so good but wasn't as flavourful as it could be. I'm not sure what's missing.
