There's a new food event in Vancouver that introduces us to some hidden (and not-so-hidden) gems in Railtown, while supporting a local charity. Running from November 1 to 30, Dine Railtown features nine restaurants in the Railtown neighbourhood. I was invited to preview 3 of the locations.
A new Japanese souffle pancake shop is coming to town! Fufu is short for Fuwa Fuwa in Japanese, and it means fluffy. That's the very heart of these souffle pancakes. Owners of Fufu were inspired by their visit to Japan a couple of years ago, seeing how popular these souffle pancakes were, and wanted to bring these deliciousness to Vancouver. They spent months on perfecting the menu and recipes and now they are opening the doors at Broadway and Birch.

In case you haven't heard, Starbucks Canada opened its biggest location yet here in Vancouver - a new Starbucks Reserve at CF Pacific Centre, at 700 West Pender Street. It's the second one here in Vancouver, with the first one being on Main Street in Mount Pleasant. Here's a look inside, and some Christmas gift ideas for you.
