A new pork katsu (aka cutlet) shop opened up in Surrey. Turns out it's a chain with multiple locations in Toronto. This Surrey location is the first in BC. The menu is quite simple: variations of pork loin or tenderloin katsu, or chicken or shrimp katsu if you don't feel like pork. Alongside there's also appetizers or fried chicken to add to the mix.
For Mother's Day, I took Mama Lam to afternoon tea at Origo Club. They offered a special menu for the weekend, but surprisingly, it was at its regular price of $45 per person. Good on them for not raising the price on this special day because many places do. The number of items was the same as usual but with a different line-up of desserts.
When Starbucks launched the Black Sesame Tea Latte earlier this week, I was intrigued. I was particularly intrigued because black sesame is also one of my favourite flavours when it comes to bubble tea. Now I really have to try this.
It's always been on my list to try La Foret but for whatever reason I never did. When I took Mama Lam out shopping at Metrotown one weekend, I decided to take her there first.
Not many places offer a $15 Dine Out menu but I was most intrigued by Popina on Granville Island. The restaurant concept is created by some of the most celebrated chefs in Vancouver. The space is made up of shipping containers, located right by the Granville Island Public Market. The $15 menu is pretty straightforward. A sandwich + a side of fries and its signature puffcream for dessert.
