Lazy Brunch at Acme Cafe

Posted in Breakfast, Brunch, Cafe, Casual, Lisa, Lunch, Neighbourhood Gem, Sandwiches, Soup, Vancouver, tagged , , , on February 17, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

It was one of those mornings, where you roll out of bed and you think, “Damn, I really don’t want to do anything. I’m hungry, but I don’t want to cook.” Not sure about you, but I get those days often – not that I always succumb to them.

So of course, cocoon myself into my blankets like a hot dog for a few more minutes before reaching over to text my friend if she wanted some brunch. On her recommendation, we headed out to Acme Cafe, which is in that sort of shady part between Chinatown/Gastown area.

La Brasserie Street @ Street Food City

As part of the Dine Out Vancouver festivities, a new component called “Street Food City” was introduced this year. It’s a gathering of a number of food carts in Vancouver at the Vancouver Art Gallery plaza for just three days during the DOV period. Thankful to have a boss who enjoys food as much as I do, we made a trip down to Street Food City as part of our team building exercise.

After checking out all the food carts, we have decided to try La Brasserie Street. My boss actually has tried it before, but he did recommend this cart and said he would have it again. For me, sadly I haven’t done my part in visiting all the food carts in town, even though my office is close to many of them, so I was happy to give this a try.

Max’s Burgers – Sneak Preview (Opening Jan 23)

Posted in By Invitations, Casual, Dinner, Food Bloggers, Joyce, Lunch, Quick Service, Vancouver, tagged , , , , , , , on January 19, 2012 | 1 Comment »

We were invited to the media event for Max’s Burgers, which is opening next Monday, January 23. The restaurant is at Cambie and 8th, the location that was formerly the Max’s Deli. Owners Bruce and David transformed it into this burger concept and invited Chef Connor Butler to come onboard.

At this event we were served several items from its regular menu, as well as beverages, only in smaller size (e.g. slider vs burger). Since the portion is smaller, this may not necessarily reflect the true quality of the food, but I think it serves as a good indication of what you could expect at Max’s.

Italian Kitchen – A Surprisingly Quick Lunch

Posted in Italian, Joyce, Lunch, Vancouver, tagged , , , , on January 9, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

A friend of mine who works overseas, RP, had come back for the holiday season, so I made arrangements to meet up with him over lunch downtown. Since he misses good Italian food, I suggested going to Italian Kitchen.

Although just a couple of months ago my office ordered catering from IK2GO, its to-go, catering service, it’s been a number of years since I dined at the restaurant. I remembered at that time I wasn’t too happy with the food quality, so this would be a redemption for Italian Kitchen to win my heart back.

New York Continues – Halal Guys, Bread and Butter, Momofuku, Da Gennaro

Posted in Dinner, Italian, Japanese, Lisa, Lunch, Out of Canada, U.S., tagged , , , on December 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

In continuation to my last post, here’s a few more places that we tried. Other than these ones we also tried sushi in New York (no, not Mr. Robato). It was awful, maybe because the fish quality in British Columbia is much higher, not sure. Also tried this supposedly “Vietnamese” restaurant, but for some reason it had a strange variety of items on their menu including various Chinese, Thai, and other dishes. Will not bother to review those thoroughly.
