Metro Vancouver

Jiro Dreams of Sushi… and so does Mijune (which is me by the way – hi!). It’s apparently one of the places to go for sushi in West Vancouver, so I decided to give it a try. It serves traditional sushi and modern Japanese izakaya, but It didn’t deliver to expectations and I found it quite overpriced.

It’s the 35th World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS) in Daejeon, Korea and Chef Tobias MacDonald from La Belle Auberge is the representative for the Americas. I was honoured to be invited to attend Chef Tobias’ final practice run for his Global Chef’s Menu at La Belle Auberge.

Behind me was the skyline of my beautiful city and on my plate was the rest of the world. It was a refined style and exploration of unique ingredients executed with very subtle and delicate flavours. The flavours were simple, but very finely tuned. It was the work of a passionate chef.

Holy crap! No, not the cereal, but just holy crap. I don’t know how many Mother’s Day restaurant promotions are happening around Vancouver, but my inbox is literally flooded with Mother’s Day menus. It’s the busiest day of the year for restaurants. Follow Me Foodie to Mother’s Day Brunches!

BC Spot Prawn season officially kicked off yesterday and live ones are available May until June (8 weeks). So where can you find these large, sweet, succulent and delicate yet firm prawns? All over Vancouver! In the foodie world this is equivalent to Christmas.

The race is over, but the journey isn’t. Passions don’t die that easily or ever, so if it wasn’t this then it’ll be something else! I am so grateful and honoured with all the support, comments and votes I’ve received throughout this Richmond 365 Days of Dining campaign. Now what lies ahead?

I’ve been holding it in until I was ready, but I think it’s time. I am very honoured and delighted to announce that I have been invited to join the BC Chefs’ Association (BCCA). I am officially on the Board of Directors and have taken the role and responsibility of social media. Details here!

Yes, no shame. Must campaign. I don’t care who’s in the lead or whether I come first (although that is the ultimate goal), but what I care about is how I ran the race and not where I finished. It’s the final stretch and my final plea. Here is why you need to vote for me! #TeamMijune
