No. 1 Shanghai Cuisine. Ahh, I don’t know about that one. It wouldn’t be in my top 5 places to go for Shanghainese cuisine in Richmond, BC, but then again I only tried their dinner menu and perhaps their dim sum is better. I found the dinner very average and it wasn’t very inspiring.

Canada’s best culinary talent under one roof, in one kitchen, on one evening. This will be an epic experience. A recap of the Taste of Talent benefit dinner presented by the BC Culinary Arts Foundation & Canadian Culinary Federation.

You might have grown out of the Easter Egg Hunt, but you never grow out of Easter celebrations. And if you do, then you just grew out of fun, so this year you’re going to get back into it! Here are some Easter events happening around town.

For $30.95/person (includes a Mimosa) I found their Sunday Brunch quite reasonable for what was offered. I was pretty impressed with their selection which included the standard American breakfast items, international options and desserts.

Pull at my heart strings. I’m almost embarrassed that it took me so long to discover this hidden gem. A fundraiser dinner with Bocuse D’or Canadian Chef Alex Chen at the new Cafe 374. A cafe worth supporting!

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!
