Pho Lan is a local favourite and usually the first to come to mind when people ask for “the best pho in Richmond”. I did hesitate a bit since it failed a health inspection a few months ago and it was actually my first visit here, but I’m likely to come back.

I love eggs. I will eat them here and there, I will eat them ANYWHERE! Egg is a casual breakfast and brunch hot spot in Brooklyn, New York featuring an eclectic menu with Southern influence. The Eggs Rothko is the claim to fame and a must try!

The set up is just like a frozen yogurt shop and you can select toppings, or “Jesus droppings”, to go on top of your rice pudding. It’s rice pudding for the 21st century and it puts a modern twist to an old fashioned comfort food.

It was an upscale lunch from the French-Canadian country side and although simple, it wasn’t boring. The artistic presentation of the dishes were impressive and if I had to sum up my experience here it was simply beautiful.

What happens when you let me roam free in Jamaica?! I find ice cream! I set out on a hunt for ice cream along with our local driver. It wasn’t just any ordinary ice cream I was looking for, but it was “the best ice cream in Jamaica”. I had to try it!

I’ve never felt so “non-Canadian” until I visited Quebec. L’Orignal means “moose”, and the restaurant takes on a French-Canadian theme featuring game and seafood. It’s a local hot spot with a hidden location so it’s not as obvious as a choice.

It’s home made French-Canadian cuisine and the food won’t blow you away, but it may surprise you. It’s honest, simple, and well executed. From what I tried it wasn’t anything I’d rave about, but also nothing I’d complain about.
