As Kathryn mentioned in her debut post, we checked out the Restaurant Australia event as part of the Vancouver International Wine Festival. Being the featured country this year, it's only fitting that there was an event highlighting the Aussie culinary culture and how it pairs with wine.
The Fish Shack – Seafood Boil Close to Home
With the full intent to try the Fish Shack's DOVF menu, we ended up ordering off the regular menu, because, the Fishermen's Catch was calling. The 4 of us basically created our own seafood feast here.
My Shanti – A Taste of Vikram Vij in the Suburbs
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.
Celebrating Birthday at Market by Jean-Georges
For her birthday, I took MaMa Lam out for a fancy dinner. Market has been on her list for quite some time now, so that naturally became our destination. It was a very nice restaurant, lots of natural sunlight from the windows, modern and spacious.
Guu Garlic – The one that started it all for me
With different Japanese izakayas popping up around town, it's been forever since I last visited a Guu location. I remember the Thurlow location was my very first izakaya that I've visited in Vancouver and it was such a unique experience: the screaming servers, the exchange of Japanese throughout the room and the long list of small plates that we could order. It was so much fun I took a visiting guest to Guu Garlic after. Now, years later, I'm back.
