Have you heard of the trendy Brown Sugar Pearl Latte? Almost all, if not all, bubbletea shops are making those. I have jumped on this BBT bandwagon and the most recent stop was visiting the Exposure Social House in Richmond. It took over the Shake Shake Tea space at Empire Centre.
It's Chinese New Year (CNY) a couple of weeks ago, and us Chinese know how to celebrate -- eat, feast, and repeat. Of course, there are many regional Chinese New Year traditions throughout China, and being from HK, the HK tradition is what I'm most familiar with. On New Year's Eve I was invited to a feast with food expert Lee Man, and it just heightened my appreciation for my culture. Calling it a feast, obviously it was a multi-course dinner with an abundance of food. We are all about good meanings when it comes to choosing the dishes or even naming them for CNY. On Instagram I showed a glimpse of what that means with the CNY dinner made by Mama Lam this year. It's being realized here once again at Golden Paramount in Richmond.
Does the snowy weather just make you want to cuddle up and sit around the fireplace all day? Us Chinese have another way to fight the cold weather -- hotpot. Recently, I was invited to check out one of the a la carte hotpot places called Liuyishou Hotpot. It's a worldwide chain, with a few locations in the Lower Mainland in Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby.
Chinese New Year is Feb. 16, 2018 and it's the Year of the Dog. Need ideas to celebrate CNY this year? Here is a roundup for you.
