Guest Post: Lunch delivery from Ikura Sushi

This blog post is written by my only brother.

Lunchtime and we wanted to eat something different than our usual meals. Mom wanted to have Beef Teriyaki and my sister handled the online ordering and she found Ikura Sushi.

Our mom wanted to have Bento Beef Teriyaki and it didn't really matter to me what I got so I just ordered the same thing.

My sister ordered Chicken Teriyaki bowl for herself.

Filipino Food from Tasty Pinoy BBQ Skewers at iba pa

 It's the last day of the month, which means we can pigout. Today, we ordered lunch from Tasty Pinoy Skewers. As expected, we got too much food (is there such a thing?), which means we have food for the whole week (or at least, most of the week).

What to order from Tasty Pinoy BBQ Skewers?

Kwek-Kwek

I haven't had Kwek-Kwek ever since I was in the Philippines last February 2019, so I was really looking forward to eating Kwek-Kwek. And this one is delicious. I even sent a photo to my sister, who loves and misses this dish.

Pork BBQ

Saucy is the best word to describe their pork BBQ. It's delicious and hoped I ordered more.

Crispy Dinuguan

This is the surprise of all the things I ordered today. The Diniguan (pork blood stew) is good, but the bagnet on top made it excellent. I highly recommend this dish.

Creamy Kare-Kare

You can never go wrong with kare-kare (peanut butter stew) with bagoong (shrimp paste). It's delicious and creamy (as the name suggested). I can't wait to reheat and eat it with rice.

This delivery just made Monday 100x better. Thanks, Tasty Pinoy Skewers, for the food delivery. Check out their Facebook page for the menu, prices, and send them a message to place an order.

The Great Food Truck Race on Food Network map

I love the Food Network channel, and I'm currently binge-watching The Great Food Truck Race. I thought they're going to a lot of cities in different states; I wonder how it looks like on a map.

If you're curious, like me, check the pictures below.

Season 1 to 6

From Season 1 to 6, they're really going cross country.

Season 1

Season 2

Season 3

Season 4

Season 5

Season 6

Season 7 Family Face-Off

Starting Season 7, the travel is a bit more regional. For example, this season they only stayed in California.

Season 7

Season 8 Battle of the South

For this season, the travel is in the Southern States of Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Tennesse, and Georgia.

Season 8

Season 9 Wild West

As you may have guessed from the "theme," the location for this challenge is the "west" (i.e California, Nevada, and Arizona).

Season 9

Season 10 Summer Beach Battle

For Season 10, the show travels along the east coast (i.e. South Carolina and Florida).

Season 10

Season 11 Holiday Hustle

This is the shortest season with only 5 episodes which means fewer cities as well.

Season 11

Season 12 Gold Coast

This season they're back in California and Nevada and it's the new season being promoted in Food Network, so be sure to catch the new episodes and where the food trucks are going. I can't wait!

Interactive Map

If you want to view a Google Maps version of seasons 1 to 10, you can view it here. Google My Maps has a limit of 10 layers that's why I need to create a new map for season 11 and 12.

Dinner from Sushivan Japanese Restaurant Vancouver

Happy Saturday! For dinner tonight, we went to pick up food from Sushivan Japanese Restaurant along Granville Street (at West Broadway).

If you've been reading my post (or if you search for Sushivan in this blog), you will notice that I am going through their Special Roll. I have tried the Alaska special roll and Awesome special roll.

Korean Style Ramen with Chicken

If you search my blog for "Sushivan", I always order Korean Style Ramen. When I crave for spicy Korean noodles I go to Sushivan.

Pad Thai from Miss Siam Food Truck

Hubby and I took a walk around the neighbourhood after lunch today. It's the first time in a long time (3 weeks) that we took a walk just for the sake of walking without doing a grocery run.

As we're on our way home along West Broadway, hubby spotted a food truck across the street - Miss Siam. We checked out the menu, and we're hoping to get something sweet, but they only have savoury dishes perfect for lunch.

Hello Miss Siam!

We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, which we plan to enjoy for early dinner, but we end up eating as after lunch snack. It was delicious. I didn't expect quality, affordable Thai food so close to home.

The food truck is available at West Broadway and Birch on Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 2 PM.

Snack delivery from McDonald's

We're watching Slam Dunk on Crunchy Roll just for weekend relaxation fun. I am craving for ice cream, so we ordered French Fries and McFlurry from McDonald's delivered by SkipTheDishes.

Happy Sunday!

Filipino Food from Big Boy's Pagkain

It's the weekend which means we can eat "takeout" food. :) For this week, I'm supporting a fellow Filipino in Metro Vancouver - Big Boy's Pagkain. Their business model is different and amusing, check their website to learn more.

I purchased three dishes from their Party Trays menu this week: Spring Rolls, Tofu Sisig, and Caldereta.

The serving size is enormous! I didn't expect it to be that big, which is impressive. Big Boy's Pagkain is value for money for sure. We will have enough food for a week.

I wish the caldereta is a bit spicier, but I think that's just my preference. However, the beef is tender which I like.

Beef Caldereta

The tofu sisig is delicious after it has been reheated. Although I think I would prefer the tofu chopped smaller just so it would have the same texture and feel as pork sisig. Maybe I'll slice the tofu before reheating it next time.

Tofu Sisig

My favourite among the three is the spring roll. I think it just tied or slightly exceeded my previous number 1 from Little Ongpin.

We received two trays of Spring Rolls!

Be sure to try food from Big Boy's Pagkain. Below is their menu for the week we ordered:
