The highly anticipated PABLO Japanese Bakery will open its doors on July 21! PABLO is famous for their decadent cheese tarts and it has won over the hearts of many in Japan. They have locations in other parts of Canada and the first Vancouver location at 511 West Broadway is finally opening! I was one of the lucky ones to have a sneak preview of the interior and a tasting of the menu.
Greater Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival is back and it's going to be a month of delicious indulgence of chocolate goodness! First up, Motoretta Gelato, with Salvatore Boccarossa at the helm. You may know Sal from Passione Gelato so you know his flavours are always spot on. They offer two unique pairings of sweet and savory.
Dine Out Vancouver is back and it's celebrating its 20th anniversary! Running from January 14-31, 2022, over 300 restaurants are offering prix fixe menus for dine-in or take-out priced between $20 and $59 (side note: this was up from $15-$54 last year). It was very exciting to be able to dine in again when things opened up last year. Things may be a bit iffy now but you can still enjoy Dine Out Vancouver whether it's dine-in or take-out. As per previous years, I took the time to review the menus and here are what caught my eyes.
Recently I got my hands on some Chilean pluots. I decided to make a grilled cheese sandwich with them. Now I don't think plum and cheddar, the typical choice of cheese for grilled cheese, go together, so I've substituted it with brie. And to elevate it, I opted for sourdough for a chewy texture and some tang in flavours.
As we spend more time at home, Mama Lam is trying different recipes to keep ourselves entertained. We found this Korean style baked mochi ball recipe online and tested it out. The recipe is very easy to make and suitable to involve kids.
