Dinner Date at Tony's Fish and Oyster Cafe

It's been almost a year since I have been to Tony's! Yes, the last time I was here was last year on December 24. I'm so glad the waitress (she's a delight!) still remembers me to give a 10% VIP discount.

Hubby and I had our usual order: a bowl of clam chowder, 2-pcs salmon fish and chips (yam fries) for me and 2-pc halibut and chips (onion rings) for hubby.

Clam Chowder

Clam Chowder with crackers for the crunch factor

2-pc Halibut with onion rings and coleslaw

It was delicious! Tony is the best fish and chips place in the Granville Island area during the winter; you can stay indoors, warm, and have alcohol (if that's your fancy).

Lunch at Peaceful Restaurant

As you can see from my posts, I'm a creature of habit and delicious food. We ate at Peaceful Restaurant less than two weeks ago and I had a craving for the Dan Dan noodles. After shopping and finding amazing deals at Canadian Tire, we had lunch at Peaceful and ordered the same things.

Beef Roll is a must-try at Peaceful Restaurant

Cheers to more food!

Chocolate Swiss Roll from Tim Hortons

Every month it seems like Tim Hortons has a new or limited donut, pastry, or whatever. From the glass display, the Chocolate Swiss Roll looked delicious, so I thought of grabbing one today with our usual Sunday breakfast.

Verdict: The outside is dry from sitting in the glass case for who knows how long. The inner part is a bit moister. However, in general, it was just a very dense too sweet of a "cake."

Domino's Pizza Delivery

Before I got married and moved out of my parent's place, my youngest sister and I used to have Domino's pizza delivered every Friday. We call it pizza Friday to celebrate thriving through the week and to kick off the weekend. We usually eat while watching a movie or Food Network (i.e a marathon of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives).


I moved out and I can't remember the last time I had Domino's at home. It could be the new year of 2018. Anyway, last December 16, I received an email from them about getting enough points to redeem for a free pizza. Yay for free pizza. We used it tonight for dinner.

And because I missed Domino's food so much, I got the free pizza, Chicken Carbonara, 8-pc Boneless Chicken with Ranch Sauce, and 8-pc Domino's Pizza Cheesy Bread with Marinara Sauce.

I can't wait for my next pizza from Domino's!

Dinner at Hot Star

We did Christmas shopping and decided to eat at Hor Star again. Yes, this is how much we loved the food here. Or we could just be missing Asia terribly.

Tonight we had Hot Cheese Fried Chicken and Korean Large Fried Chicken. They are both insanely delicious. We also got fries, vegetarian spring rolls, and green apple yogurt.

Hot Cheese Fried Chicken - yum!

Ready take my nth bite of the Hot CHeese Fried Chicken

Korean Large Fried Chicken is essentially sesame sauce

Spring Rolls - you don't need to get it. LOL

I can't wait for our third visit to try the rest of the chicken.

Reunion Dinner at The Wicklow

It was a long day at work, but thank God we had planned a reunion with current and former colleagues. It's really great to see everybody again and catch up. Tonight, I had my favourite Yorkshire Pudding Bowl, two glasses of "Pick Me Up" (such a perfect drink for the kind of day I'm having), and Sesame Crusted Tuna Saku.

Big Fried Chicken from Hot Star

It's finally open in Downtown Vancouver! Last September, we had Taiwanese fried chicken from Big G, and today we had lunch at Hot Star.

Hubby got the Original Large Fried Chicken (salt & pepper), which was the best! The outside is crispy, and the inside was juicy. I kinda regret not getting this.

I had Crispy Large Fried Chicken (spicy medium). The chicken inside is delicious; however, the spicy flavour kinda ruined it for me. I should have picked original (no spice); apparently, it's an option.

Juicy inside! How is this possible?

After a giant chicken, I'm still hungry, so I decided to buy Chicken Popcorn (original salt & pepper) with drink and fries. I love the Green Apple Yogurt drink!

I love Hot Star. I wish there's a source of fried chicken close to home (like walking distance close).
