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.
