Cakes and flying petals
Mmm cakes from Diplomat Bakery… oiishii ^^; been a while since we last had it :P cos having too much cake = getting spare tyre around the belly =_=;
Tabemono~!
Last year, we bought a sack of long grain rice as it was on sale, and it feels like it’s taking a long time for us to finish it ^^;
I missed Japanese (short grain) rice, so I got tonkatsu don from the food court just so I can eat some Japanese rice lol!
Tsukiji Japanese Restaurant
Had some friends from the states visiting ^o^ and we went to eat out XD nomnomnom ^^; One of the evenings we went to eat at Tsukiji Japanese Restaurant… so good! XP
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.
Food 2011
New free glasses (only paid about $12 for shipping) this year :3 thanks to a friend for the heads up!
Documenting some activities of 2011, food pix included under the cut, you be warned… lol
Christmas party
Braved the cold weather and took public transit to attend a Christmas dinner party (brrrrrrrrr) I was glad it was not snowing/raining tho!
The black forest trifle was spectacular ;P deep dark chocolate decadence torte was pretty good too~!
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 ^^;
Japanese Yatai (屋台)
It was one of those evenings when we were out and about, feeling itchy to munch on something. Ended up finally checking out Bakutanyaki Tenku.
