My Favourite Restaurants near Coquitlam Centre for Pick-up or Delivery #TakeOutDay

As we are all practising physical distancing, we are also cooking more at home. Even though Mama Lam does most of the cooking in my household, it's still nice to offer her a break. And that would also help support local businesses to keep them afloat during this challenging time. Even though I've been mostly active in Vancouver and Richmond, I actually live in Coquitlam (I'm willing to travel for food!). Here is a round-up of my favourite places near Coquitlam Centre that are available for pick-up or delivery right now.

[Dine Out Vancouver 2020] Restaurants Extend Menu Dates #DOVF

The official Dine Out Vancouver may be ending on Sunday, but some restaurants have decided to offer the Dine Out menus just for a few more days. Here is a list that I curated. I will continue to update this list as I hear more about other restaurants.

[Dine Out Vancouver 2020] The Rise Eatery – Cheeky Names and Uni Pasta #DOVF

Where have you been so far for Dine Out Vancouver? I was quite excited to see The Rise Eatery on the list. Last year they did their own prix fixe menu for $30 and I took Mama Lam and Papa Lam there. It was a good deal and we really enjoyed the food. This year, it's $35 and I still think it's a solid menu; I had them on my list of recommendations. So when I got the invite to preview their menu, yes all the way!

[Dine Out Vancouver 2020] PiDGiN: 6-course menu shared family style #DOVF

I was invited as a media to preview the menu at PiDGiN. Their food is a fusion of Asian and French cuisines, and they decorate the interior by rotating artworks by local artists. They have designed their $45 DOVF menu as close to their regular prix fixe menu as possible, which is a 6-course menu shared family style for a minimum of 2 people. You have the option of a Omnivore menu, or a vegetarian one. You can also order drink pairing for an additional $40 per person.

Afuri ramen + dumpling Arrives in Vancouver

The wait is over. One of the highly anticipated restaurants to open in Vancouver - Afuri ramen + dumpling - has officially opened its doors. Last year we went to Portland and checked out the ramen + izakaya and I was quite excited about the arrival of ramen + dumpling here in Vancouver. I was invited to its media night and previewed some of its menu items.
