Ichimi Sushi is a small little sushi stand in Brentwood Mall located on the 2nd floor directly across the atrium from the main food court.  I’ve often thought about trying them out but keep forgetting to because it’s separate from all of the other food stalls in the mall. When I walked by the other [...]

A dreary day was made so much better by the fact that my cold has pretty much left my body and I got to spend a lovely lunch with my cousin Annemarie. Last year I was given an open invitation … Read more » [...]

How is your week treating you so far? Mine has been good, but busy playing catch up! I’ve done wayyyy too much laundry & cleaning, taught Body Pump & Attack, and went to Mellow Mushroom for Trivia night (love!). What about you? While in PA th... [...]

We were impressed with the food that we had at Joey Broadway recently so we decided to try out their Burnaby location.  Of course, the hardest part was trying to find where they are… we had a general idea that they were in the same large complex that houses the Save-on-Foods on Lougheed Hwy but we [...]

The Sunday Brunch at Reflect Social Dining + Lounge is one of our favourites for the sheer amount of variety that you get with your meal.  The price is a bit expensive at $32.95 per person but it does include champagne mimosas.  If you can get past the horrors of parking at Crystal Mall, you [...]

I’ve often seen the bright neon sign for Curry King Cafe whenever I drive by Kingsway but have hesitated to go in because, quite frankly, I’ve never thought of Chinese restaurants as capable of producing tasty curry.  Fortunately, Curry King is more of a HK style cafe that draws influences from Malaysian and Thai cuisine.

For lunch on Friday, my coworker and I decided to stop in at Butcher & Bee, a new sandwich shop on Upper King. When I say Upper King, I mean Upper King. If you didn’t know what you were looking for, you’d probably miss it. Their small, changing... [...]
