I was invited by ChineseBites to try Tea Wok in downtown. It's located just steps away from the BCIT downtown campus. It has a big menu, serving many Taiwanese favourites. On Zomato, the rating isn't very impressive, so I was curious to give it a try.
The ChineseBites crew planned a dinner at Golden Eats on Kingsway near Victoria. For some reason I thought the restaurant has been around for ages and I just never went; turns out it's only been open for about two years.
Our friends at ChineseBites invited me to a Chinese fine dining experience at Chang'An Restaurant. It's located right under the Granville Bridge, where Nu and Stonegrill used to be, with the gorgeous view of the False Creek. It turned out to be an elaborate 17-course dinner. Hold the drool! This is going to be a long and delicious post!
A 5th location of Chatime, a bubble tea franchise originated from Taiwan, has just opened in Surrey. Thanks to our friends at ChineseBites, I checked out the location before its grand opening day. I really like that you can choose ice and sugar levels here at Chatime. I would suggest no more than 50% or 80% sugar as most of these drinks tend to be on the sweet side.
We accepted an invitation from ChineseBites to check out Icy Bar near Boundary and Kingsway. It may already be September but we are not quite finished with the hot weather yet. Actually for Mr., he would just crave icy treats on a random day, even if it's cold outside!
