Believe it or not, to this day I still haven't been to Vij's. Yes, I know. The closest thing was Vij's Railway Express, the food truck. So when My Shanti was opened last year in South Surrey, it presented the perfect opportunity for me to get one step closer to Vij's. We invited WK and MS to join us on a double date.
The Wild Fig at Executive Plaza Hotel Coquitlam
Perhaps with the exception of downtown Vancouver and some Richmond hotels, hotel dining doesn't usually have a good reputation. That doesn't stop me from being curious and wanting to try. So when the Executive Hotel in Coquitlam got a new restaurant, the Wild Fig, and was offering a coupon deal, CC and I gave it a try.
Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ Broadway – Great Variety of Meat on the Grill
Gyu-Kaku serves an a la carte BBQ menu with a huge selection of meat and veggie dishes to choose from. In addition to grillable items, they also have appetizers as well as rice and noodles to wrap up your meal. Oh, how about grilled desserts?
New Pork Items at Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria
Famoso has always been on our list of authenticity when it comes to Neapolitan pizzas. Some may find its dough too soft or soggy but that was the texture of the Neapolitan pizzas we had in Naples, the birth place of this pizza variety. When Famoso recently launched new menu items, we gladly accepted the invitation to give them a try.
Taste of Yaletown at George Ultra Lounge
Last weekend I went for a girls' dinner with CC and LW. It's Taste of Yaletown time, which means we were able to order a prix fixe menu for an affordable $25, $35 or $45. We initially wanted to try Brix because it had a more appealing menu; unfortunately they were closed for a private event so we were offered a table at the sister operation, George Ultra Lounge. Turns out both Brix and George offer the same menu.
