Legendary Noodle House
With two locations in the city, the Legendary Noodle House serves up big dishes of tasty Northern Chinese style hand-made noodles.

It’s quite an art form; it takes a lot of pulling, slamming, and kneading to produce a fine firmness (think al dente pasta but better). Overall it reminded me of the street-side noodle joints in Tianjin.

Bacchus Bistro at Domaine de Chaberton
On a sunny Saturday, several of us were on a private tour to visit three wineries in Langley, one of which was Domaine de Chaberton. Although not a part of the tour itinerary, we opted for the a la carte lunch at Bacchus Bistro. This French bistro is a hidden gem tucked away in the Fraser Valley, recently won Bronze in Best Winery/Vineyard Dining by the Vancouver Magazine's 2010 Restaurant Awards.
