Nikkoffee Cafe and Me Cafe

One evening not that long ago, we checked out 2 small cafes in a row…

First we have Nikkoffee, a relatively new cafe which I discovered online by accident. It was quite quiet the evening we went, but could be partly due to that the parking situation is not very good ^^; If you decide to check them out, do call ahead to inquire about their menu and such, sometimes they hold gatherings there and their place is rather small…

I actually went there again the following day as a small doll meet was being held there :3

Dine Out Vancouver 2011

Went to try C restaurant with husband earlier this week :3

We really enjoyed the dish below: Seared Larry Albright Trout served with crushed organic fingerling potatoes, caramelized lemon sauce, almond rapini.

It was served warm on a rather hot plate, perfectly done (not over cooked), not fishy at all, the green stalk of vegetable was a little bitter but the potato and nuts complimented the fish very well.

Takoyaki Maker

I had been itching to get a Takoyaki maker for a while, and the funny thing was, I placed an order for one online, only to find that it’s a “mini takoyaki” maker when it arrived!

(FAIL OTL)

What is Takoyaki? Ask Wikipedia XD Before I moved to Canada, Singapore sells Takoyaki at some of the Malls too. So yummy ^^;
