Super Bowl dinner delivery from Colony Bar Kits

Happy Sunday! It's Super Bowl night. I'm not rooting for one team - I dislike them both. 🤣 However, I will use the Super Bowl as an excuse to order from Colony Bar Kits.

Colony Bar is a great place to watch the Super Bowl. They have a lot of TVs and monitors, but because of the pandemic we have decided to stay home and just order in.

Colony Poutine - Hand Chipped Kennebec Potatoes, Cheese Curds, Beef Gravy

The Colony Bar chain is part of La Poutine Week and I enjoyed their poutine. It's delicious - cheese curds, gravy, and French fries. Yum!

C.B. Burger with Yam Fries - 100% CAB Beef Patty, Aged Cheese, Butter Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Pickles, Burger Sauce

Hubby ordered the C.B Burger with Yam Fries and both was delicious. This food made me realize how much I miss going to pubs and bar (especially if they have great food).

Crunchy Chicken Sandwich with Panko Onion Rings

The chicken from Storm Crow yesterday is bigger, crunchier, and juicier than the one from Colony. However, this one is more flavourful. I love the arugula.

Warmed Chocolate Lava Cake

Colony Bar gets point for the containers they used for the Lava Cake, but minus points for not putting the ice cream in a separate small container so we can put it in the fridge  and reheat the lava cake separately then enjoy them together. It's no worries though since it was delicious.

Bonus points for this bag too! :)

I am happy to support La Poutine Week and discover more local restaurants in Vancouver. I can't wait for more food events this year.

La Poutine Week delivery from Storm Crow Alehouse

즐거운 토요일! Jeulgeoun Toyoil! Happy Saturday!

We started watching the Korean series Guardian: The Lonely and Great God last night and want to support restaurants part of La Poutine Week this February 1-7, so we end up ordering from Storm Crow Alehouse. Coincidentally, they serve Korean-inspired poutine called "Bibimbap-Ity-Boo Brisket Poutine."

Bibimbap-Ity-Boo Brisket Poutine
Hand-punched fries, cheese curds, smothered in a house-made beef gochujang gravy, topped with slow-roasted brisket, crispy portobello mushrooms, pickled onions, and a delicious soft poached egg.

The egg and mushrooms were the best part of the poutine. The brisket and gravy were too salty for my liking.

Basic Dungeon Burger with extra bacon
Slow your roll, start basic with our house made beef patty, romaine lettuce, tomato, onion, storm sauce and pickle spear.

Cluckin' Chicken Sandwich
Apocalyptically delicious and crispy double-battered boneless chicken thigh, with shredded romaine and storm sauce. Served on a toasted bunship.

I love the fried chicken inside the sandwich! The outside is crunchy and crispy while the inside is juicy. I would be happy to order just boneless fried chicken from Storm Crow. This is such a revelation.

Bread Pudding topped with vanilla ice cream!

We reheated the pudding in the microwave for a minute then took out the one scoop of ice cream they delivered from the fridge. I like the edges of the pudding because it's crunchy.

Tomorrow is the last day of La Poutine Week and you can order all the poutine for delivery from SkipTheDishes.

Happy Saturday!

Lunch delivery from Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

Happy Sunday! It's the last day of the month, and hubby said that we should order ramen.

Our order from Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

Two-level containers with soup at the bottom and the noodles and toppings at the top.

Hubby loves the containers for the ramen! The soup is at the bottom, while the noodles and toppings are at the top of the container. You just need to pour the container's top floor to the bottom floor to have your ramen mixed together.

Kara-Miso Cha-Shu Ramen - Seasoned with hot spices and miso (fermented soybean paste). Egg noodles, a double portion of pork belly, green onions, black mushrooms, fishcake, bamboo shoots, and sesame seeds.

I love the egg noodles in the ramen. It has a nice bite, and it's perfectly cooked (not soggy), and the cha-shu (pork belly) is fatty and melts in your mouth. However, I did find the broth too salty. It could be me and my overall low salt tolerance.

Toroniku Shio Ramen - Pork broth seasoned with salt. Simmered pork jowl(cheek), bamboo shoot, mushroom, green onion, naruto fish cake, Japanese plum and sesame seed.

Zangi - Deep-fried chicken 

I have no idea why it's called zangi and not kara-age. (A few moments later). I did a quick Google Search, and kara-age is what the Japanese called fried chicken. However, in Hokkaido, they call kara-age, zangi. The cooking is different as well. When cooking zangi, you marinate the chicken first, but this is not done in kara-age. 

Gyoza - Japanese fried pork dumplings (five pieces)

A reminder for future me: don't order Gyoza next time even though you love dumplings. Get two orders of the fried chicken instead.

Happy Sunday!

Lunch delivery from Donair Pro

Happy Friday! Hubby had a company-paid lunch. I ordered lunch for myself too.

Donair Pro has replaced Donair Spot (blog post here and here) in 403 West Broadway. The falafel was delicious. I requested meat, but they forgot.

Falafel Platter - Falafel platter served with basmati rice, tabooli, hummus, pita bread, tzatziki, garlic, and mild hot sauce.

I wonder what happened to the previous owner of Donair Spot. I went there twice, and he's such a nice, funny man.

Happy Friday! Kain Tayo!

Chocolate Hazelnut Éclair Dream and Sea Salted Caramel Dream Dream Donuts from Tim Hortons

Happy Thursday! It's also National Lego Day! I ordered a "4 Privet Drive" Harry Potter Lego Set and got two free items. Unfortunately, FedEx didn't ring our doorbell or gave us a call when it tried to deliver it to our place, so we had to pick it up at the closest FedEx pickup point. Since it's National Lego Day, we decided to pick it up today. We also decided to grab donuts from Tim Hortons before heading home.

Hubby requested that I get any limited edition donuts that they have. Looking at the menu, they're promoting the "Dream Donuts," and I got both Chocolate Hazelnut Éclair Dream and Sea Salted Caramel Dream.

Chocolate Hazelnut Éclair Dream

I enjoyed both donuts. It's surprisingly not stale. It's soft, and the filling inside the Éclair is delicious. I am willing to get it again.

Sea Salted Caramel Dream

The Sea Salted Caramel Dream is good, but not as delicious as the eclair. At least, it wasn't stale like the Dream Donuts from last year.

Chocolate Hazelnut Éclair Dream and Sea Salted Caramel Dream

Happy National Lego Day!

Dinner delivery from Subway

We watched Touch Your Heart Korean series, and they kept eating at Subway. 🥪 Because of the series and because Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills both lost their games today, I need to stress eat, so we ordered from Subway.

Subway

Hubby ordered a 6" Chicken and Bacon Ranch Sub Melt Combo with two White Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies and  Brisk® Lemon Iced Tea. I picked Chicken Caesar Large Wrap with Savory Caesar sauce. I prefer the Chipotle Steak & Guac Wrap last time.

I hope you had a happy and restful Sunday.

Lunch delivery from RedBeef Noodle Kitchen

Happy Saturday! I was craving fried chicken, and one of my favourite sources for juicy, boneless fried chicken is Redbeef Noodle Kitchen along 4th Avenue.

This is our order from Redbeef Noodle Kitchen

Chicken Cutlet Rice

Pan-fried Beef Wraps

My mom loved their beef wrap the last time we went there. We ordered it today and thought that the one from Peaceful Restaurant is still the best.

Salt and Pepper Popcorn Chicken

I love the Salt and Pepper Popcorn Chicken so much. I am so happy to ordered two servings of this and there's more pieces this time than when we ordered it previously. 

Malay Sponge Cake

I highly recommend this sponge cake. It's fluffy and soft. I wanted more. I can't wait to eat in the restaurant again to enjoy all this from the kitchen.

Hubby ordered Tonic Beef Noodle Soup and it's the delicious. I actually prefer it than the Premium Beef Noodle Soup, but it could just be me.

Enjoy your weekend!
