Where are all the Middle Eastern restaurants in Vancouver, BC?

By Mijune

C’mon Vancouver! For a supposedly world-class multicultural city, we can do better than that, can’t we? Are the only options for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine hole-in-the-wall restaurants with under $10 menu options that are open until the sun comes up?

Taste of Yaletown: Bistro Sakana (Modern Japanese Restaurant)

By Mijune

It’s the 10th annual Taste of Yaletown, and from Oct. 16-30 select Yaletown restaurants will be offering set menus for $25, $35, or $45. Bistro Sakana often gets overlooked by the ever-so-busy Minami, which I’m also a fan of across the street, and it’s a bit of a shame because it’s a solid restaurant.

Must Try Cauliflower Dishes in Vancouver, BC!

By Mijune

Follow Me Foodie to the renaissance of cauliflower: The history and varieties of cauliflower and deconstructing the craze. There is a science to caramelizing the cauliflower, and having it soft but not mushy, and crisp but not crunchy. I’ll experiment in the kitchen, but for now, indulge in these!

PiDGiN Restaurant – Prix Fixe Menu – Gastown, Vancouver, BC

By Mijune

PiDGiN is not an Asian restaurant, but it is certainly Asian inspired. Most courses were very good and I have faith in the team. It just lacked the minor, but noticeable details and finesse of a polished dish and I’m not comparing it to fine dining.

Follow Me Foodie to New York: Restaurants, bars, food & drinks worth flying for!

By Mijune

This list will continue to grow for sure. It’s New York, arguably “the best” food city in North America. I really dislike “best of” lists and I think “the best food city” is dependent on what kind of food you want, but generally many would agree that New York has it all – and they do.

Akakuro-Buta (Japanese style Canadian Pork) at Kingyo Izakaya

By Mijune

It’s one of my favourite izakaya restaurants in Vancouver. Executive Chef Chikayoshi Kittaka is featuring the Akakuro-Buta pork loin for the month of March and only for lunch. I also got to sample a couple other izakaya dishes like the albacore tuna and tomato kimchi.
