Thanksgiving Dinner Date at Saku

Saku is a relatively new restaurant along West Broadway near Cambie. We noticed it a few weeks back because the number of people waiting outside is significant. We were running errands, and it just so happen they are open even if it's a holiday. They are getting ready for the dinner rush and will open their doors at 5:00 PM.

We were able to get inside at around 5:20 PM but received our food 25 minutes later. If you're starving, this might not be the place for you. But the food is worth the wait.

I love how juicy my Hire Katsu and much fattier than hubby's Rosu Katsu. I ordered the Hire Katsu Curry with Cheesy Katsu on the side. Skip the curry because, indeed, the pork is the star of the show. That's saying a lot because I love my Japanese curry and the fact that I'll eat the port without the curry sauce means something.

We also enjoyed the unlimited miso soup and an unlimited side salad. On our next visit, I'll order the Cheese Katsu.

Wednesday Night Out with Colleagues

I went to Colony Entertainment District a couple weeks ago with my husband. I just knew that I will be back soon with my colleagues. Tonight, we did go to Colony for dinner, drinks, and ping-pong. I had a rough week at work, and the cocktail drink is all I needed to feel better and get a good night's sleep.

Eat Poutine with Purpose at Craft Beer Market

Hubby and I love poutine and are excited to try as many poutine and restaurants that support Poutine with Purpose. For lunch today, we took a 2.8km walk from our house to Craft Beer Market. It was a bright sunny day in Vancouver, and it's stunning.

Eat Poutine with Purpose at Colony Entertainment District

We went to Colony Entertainment District last night to support Poutine with Purpose. What I didn't expect is to find a bar with ping pong table, arcade games, TV on sports channels, and amazing food. I'm surprised at how great my veggie burger was! I can't wait to tell my colleagues about this place. We have been thinking of doing ping pong table night somewhere in Vancouver and it seems like I just found a spot.

Dinner at SushiVan

SushiVan is one of my go-to places when I crave spicy Korean noodles. Though, tonight, I decided to try something different.

As soon as we settled on a table, they offered hot tea and gave us a copy of their menu. It's quite extensive and deciding what to eat is a real challenge.

We end up ordering a lot, and after a minute of placing an order, they gave us the Miso Soup included in the set we ordered.

After ten minutes, five pieces of Takoyaki was served.

As soon as we finished our Takoyaki, the Spicy Chicken Karaage arrived. It's much sweeter than spicy. It is better eaten with a cup of white rice so we didn't finish this and decided to bring it home where I can eat it for breakfast with warm rice.

Shortly before the Spicy Chicken Karaage was served, our Bento Boxes arrived.

Yay for yummy dinner.

Mocha Cake from Goldilocks

I was craving for mocha cake and dragged my husband to the only place I know will have a mocha cake that I will enjoy, Goldilocks.

We have no Red Ribbon in Vancouver, BC and only one Goldilocks to get a taste of home.
