Last weekend we checked out the Columbia StrEAT in New Westminster, featuring more than 50 food trucks from the Lower Mainland. We tried a few trucks, including Fliptop Filipino Fusion. This food truck is usually in the Fairview area during the week, not in my 'hood, so I was quite excited about the opportunity to try them.
[Food Truck] Hamburger $2.85 – Affordable and Good
Earlier this year a mysterious food truck showed up at the corner of Granville and West Pender, selling just two things: hamburgers or cheeseburgers. The truck didn't seem to have a name, so it has just been called 2.85 Hamburger because, well, that's how much it costs to get a burger there. Word has spread and many people have gone. I finally decided to give it a try.
[Fast Food Indulgence] Pretzel Burger & Maple Breakfast Biscuit
I don't eat out fast food very often; but when fast food joints release interesting menu items, I'm often intrigued and want to give it a try. Two recent items were Wendy's Pretzel Burger and Tim Hortons's Maple Breakfast Biscuit.
[Food Truck] Via Tevere Neapolitan Express
When TC checked out the Via Tevere food truck, he wasn't very impressed. But I've heard good things about it so I was quite torn. The other day I was really craving a hearty sandwich and it struck me that Saltimbocca is a sandwich! Redemption time!
Afternoon Tea at a New Height at The Roof, Fairmont Hotel Vancouver
Fairmont Hotel Vancouver is giving the ground floor space a face lift, so they temporarily turned the 15th floor ball room into The Roof, continuing its service of breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. I thought, why not taking afternoon tea to a new height?! I decided to take Mama Lam there for a Mother's Day celebration.
