Afternoon at Starbucks
There are three Starbucks within five blocks of our house. We have a favourite branch. It has a lot of seats, huge windows, and two Pokestop can be reached from inside the coffee shop.

DInner Date at West Restaurant
It's Friday night and we spent the whole day at our house doing nothing - best vacation day ever. At around 5 in the afternoon, we walked to RBC to get some laundry coins. We walked around South Granville before heading to West at 5:30 PM.
I know what I want, so looking at the menu didn't take that long. Service was great, just like last time.
The meal started with complimentary bread, sourdough and sesame buns. The sesame one is so delicious!
We ordered cocktails. Hubby had the "Godfather of Vancouver" while I pick "Velvet Sunrise". Instead of appetizers, we had two servings of West Fries because that truffle aioli it came with is so amazing. Before the fries arrived, they gave us a complimentary Amuse-bouche.
For the main course, I had the BC Salmon while hubby had the Yarrow Meadows Duck Breast. I like the BC Salmon, but that duck breast is so much better.
To finish an already wonderful dining experience, I ordered the souffle (i.e the reason I came back) and it was truly heavenly. Though, I thought, the varying texture of the chocolate mousse which hubby ordered is better.
Thank you for the awesome dinner date experience, West!

Boxing Day Lunch at Bubble Waffle Cafe
After hours of shopping, we end up at Richmond Center for lunch. Of course, the Dining Terraces (aka what they call the food court) is full, we're glad to find a seat.
I'm so happy that there's now a Bubble Waffle here. We ordered from there. It was chaotic because of the line. Otherwise, the food was great!

Curry Beef Brisket with Rice |
Chicken Nuggets with fried rice |
I can't wait to order more of their chicken nuggets (it's more like chicken popcorn). Yay for great food after a day of shopping.

Noche Buena in Canada
My sister cooked a wonderful Christmas evening dinner for our family. I was assigned to buy and bring a cake which I did. It was all delicious. She did a fantastic job preparing the meal while mom set the table to make it picture worthy and more importantly, we had a great time gathered around the table.
Ratatouille, Classic French Gratin Dauphinois, Bouillabaisse, and Chicken Cordon Bleu |
Hazelnut Yule Log Cake |
Youngest sister prepared hot chocolates from scratch - it's perfect for dipping croissants! |
I hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas dinner with your family.
