Fufu Cafe – Japanese Souffle Pancakes Now in Vancouver

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.

They spent months on perfecting the menu and recipes and now they are opening the doors at Broadway and Birch.

[Travel] 21-course Tasting Menu at The Willows Inn Restaurant, Lummi Island

Mr. and I recently went on a 10-day road trip to the States. Kicking it off was a celebration of our 4th wedding anniversary and we spent a night at the quaint Willows Inn on Lummi Island, Washington. The upscale inn serves up a 21-course tasting menu every evening, yes 21 courses, that changes regularly and seasonally. It features locally grown produce and other locally fished, foraged and farmed products. And in addition to their kitchen, they also have an outdoor wood-fired BBQ and smoker.

Last year a few fried chicken shops popped up, one of which was Win Win Chick-N in Steveston. It was quite hyped up and this Valentine's Day it was even selling a fried chicken bouquet rivaling Juke. It's a bit of a trek to go to Steveston just for fried chicken but when I won a gift card there, there's no more excuse for me not to try them out.
