Joyce and I attended the media launch event at Prestons for its fall menu -- my first food blogger-type event. Socializing and Lisa equals: out of comfort zone plus awkward, which also equals to complete social misfit. Nevertheless, still had a good time, met some really cool people, some really flamboyant people, and a couple of drinks.
Suika Snackbar
Van Eats Media invited us to try out Suika Snackbar's special package called Suika Me Silly. What a silly name. I was a bit hesitant, but when I checked out the photo gallery on Facebook, I was intrigued. Suika Snackbar is a sister restaurant of Kingyo Izakaya on Denman Street. Suika is also an izakaya restaurant serving tapa size dishes. The package we tried is a sampling menu featuring 6 dishes, some are on its regular menu, some are not. This package is available at a limited quantity for $16 in the month of October.
Fairmont Hotels’ Culinary Apprentice Dinner
Through work I was among one of the lucky ~300 guests who attended the Fairmont Apprentice Dinner. This is a culinary debut of cook apprentices from seven Fairmont properties: Waterfront, Pacific Rim, Hotel Vancouver, Vancouver Airport, Chateau Whistler, Empress in Victoria and Olympic in Seattle. Emceed by Coleen Christie of CTV, it's a six-course dinner with wine pairing.
Wok Box
Honestly I was rather hesitant when I first received the invitation to check out Wok Box. Asian stir-fry fast food usually isn't all that authentic, but the idea of having so many options at one location definitely intrigued me.
Triple O’s On The Go – Mobile Food Truck
Last week, I went to a picnic in the park-wait for it-ing lot. What, parking lot? Yeah, how else could we check out the spiffy new Triple O's food truck! Triple O's just launched its first mobile food truck. In fact, it's the very first food truck in Canada that is owned by a quick service restaurant chain.
