Food 3.5

If you’re one of those people who get really excited about being the only non-Chinese person at a Chinese restaurant, then get ready to pee in your pants. Sing Yee Chinese Restaurant is another good find and local favourite for the Cantonese-Chinese community.

This is what inspired 10 Characteristics of a Hipster Restaurant and 10 Characteristics of a Hippie Restaurant. It’s a hybrid of hipster meets hippie with a nice space and open kitchen. The focus is on house baked bread and coffee.. hipster hot spot.

The menu is a bit stale, so it might be reliant on what they’ve always known, which can be good, but at the same time could be better. Although it has heart, some of the food lacks passion, but at least the ambiance is inviting enough to make up for it.

Kirin is Vancouver’s most famous Chinese fine dining restaurant specializing in Northern Chinese and traditional Cantonese cuisine. The dishes have an occasional modern flair and their fresh seafood and award winning dim sum is most recommended.

A preview of the Dine Out Vancouver Menu for C Restaurant ($38). The food was very good, but I personally enjoyed it much more with the added supplements and would generally prefer going on a regular night and ordering a la carte.

This is the “hot spot” in Richmond for the Chinese baby boomers. They come to eat, sing and dance… or in their words, “eat, sing K, and disco”. On this occasion I was caught by surprise and I ended up being incredibly impressed with the food.

I could smell “hipster, but don’t call me hipster” from across the street. It’s creative comfort food with a twist, but I was slightly more inspired by the concept and menu descriptions than I was with the outcome of some of the dishes. Still a fun spot though!

The food isn’t fancy or creative, so it might not be as exciting or interesting, but it is simple and authentic. The menu makes it one of the more traditional izakayas I’ve been to so far with reasonable prices and portions.
