Le Crocodile – Vancouver, BC (Fine dining classic French restaurant)

By Mijune

The place where nothing changes and it doesn’t have to. When “same old” has a soft spot. Not reinventing anything, just perfecting the classics and keeping it consistent.

What the phở?! What is this Vietnamese noodle bowl?

By Mijune

Well first off, let’s start pronouncing it correctly. In Vietnamese it is pronounced f-uh not foe, just like Canadians say “about” not “a-boot”. Many of us are in love with phở already, and hopefully see it as more than a cheap eat or late night meal. Actually, what I really hope, is that we don’t understand phở as “Vietnamese beef noodle soup”, because it’s not.

Happy Planet Fresh Soups – Enter to win a one-month soup giveaway!

By Mijune

I actually grew up with soup at the table almost every day. It was a staple and it was as common as rice. It was more important to finish than rice too because of the nutritional benefits. See, it wasn’t just any soup, it was mom’s soup. It was made with thought, care, and as cheesy as it sounds, love.

Follow Me Foodie to a recap of the American Express “Taste from Platinum” dinner at Hawksworth Restaurant!

By Mijune

I often take food over ambiance, but when it comes to events, I go with a different mind-set. After all it’s an event, not just a dinner. I look forward to meeting new people, making new friends, enjoying the company I’m with, and of course eating some good food. I always want good food. Who doesn’t?
