My parents were just in HK for a couple of weeks, who happened to have spent this year's Moon Festival (aka Mid-Autumn Festival) there. I usually provide them with a shopping list, but this time around, I've got only one item: Starbucks Mooncakes. Yes, you read it right. Starbucks does sell mooncakes but they're not available here. That's why I had to make sure my parents would bring me back some. Sure enough, I got a box to try.

[Wines] Touring Fort Wine Co., Domaine de Chaberton and Township 7
Last year I attended Tourism Vancouver's Open House and entered its door prize draw. I was later notified that I was the lucky winner of a local winery tour, courtesy of A.E. Vancouver Private Tours. Earlier this summer, I redeemed the prize and went on a private tour, visiting three local wineries in Langley. Here is a photoblog of the tour, along with my personal favourites.
Trees Organic Coffee & Cheesecakes (Granville St.)
The first time I walked by the Trees Organic on Granville, the awning that reads "Best Cheesecake in Vancouver" immediately caught my attention. After some research, it was the Province newspaper that crowned them one of the five great places for cheesecake in Vancouver. Having to meet up with a friend over coffee, I decided to kill two birds with one stone and set Trees Organic as our meet-up spot.
