Lunch at New York Fries

I think New York Fries has one of the best traditional hotdogs - french fries (poutine) stand in Vancouver.

Lunch at Tractor Everyday Healthy Foods

Because dieting doesn't start in the new year, it starts today. Here's my lunch of squash soup.

Dinner at Gyoza Bar + Ramen

After our Craft Beer and Distillery Tour, we decided to have warm ramen for dinner. Using my trusted Foursquare app, I searched Downtown Vancouver for a nearby Japanese place that is still open, and we haven't been, one of the suggestions is Gyoza Bar + Ramen.

Craft Brewery and Distillery Tour

Hubby won a Craft Brewery and Distillery Tour at a company raffle. Surprisingly, we're the only one on the "tour," so it was like a private tour, which was awesome. Here is a list of brewery and distilleries that we visited around Vancouver.

Parallel 49 Street Kitchen

We had a sample of different beer (I can't remember all of them) and we went to the back where they brew it.

Odd Society Spirits

I'm not a beer girl. I prefer cocktails so this is more of my spot. However, the tour has given me an appreciation for beer.

Gin

Vodka

Strathcona Beer Company

The last stop of our tour is Strathcona Beer Company. At this point, I've had more alcohol than I'm used too so everything tasted so much better.

Lunch at Pita Express, Waterfront Centre Food Court

Quick lunch after playing Pokemon GO for hours.

Dessert of the Day

Lunch at Carl's Jr.

I took the day off today and met with mother to have lunch and catch up. We went to Carl's Jr. It's the only branch in Vancouver.

Lunch at Tandoori Kona Restaurant

Tandoori Kona Restaurant is at a strip meal along Cambie Road. They serve delicious Indian food. Hubby and I ordered too much, as you can see.

Tandoori Chicken

We ordered Tandoori Chicken because hubby pointed out that "tandoori" is in the restaurant name so it must be good.
