In recent years, it has become our Christmas tradition to visit the Vancouver Christmas Market. This year, the Vancouver Christmas Market is celebrating its 5th anniversary and of course we wouldn't want to miss it!
Sweet Obsession Cakes & Pastries – Oh Sweet Heaven!
Trafalgars Bistro at Trafalgar and West 16th has always been our favourite. It's been our go-to place for Valentine's Day, anniversary, birthdays and any special occasions in between. We were always impressed by the desserts, which were supplied by its sister operation, Sweet Obsession, located right next door; but it was only until recent days that we finally stopped by Sweet Obsession for some sweet treats.
The First Tastes of Fall at Hawksworth Restaurant #DineWithAmex
As mentioned in my earlier post, we were invited to attend the private Amex Platinum Cardmember Dinner at Hawksworth Restaurant, joining roughly 60 Amex Platinum Cardmembers at the York Room earlier this week. Overall, I thought the dinner had delivered on all expectations that I had. There was a lot of textural contrast on each plate, with flavours that reminded you of fall. It was also in this intimate setting, allowing you to mingle with friends, or meet some new friends, over a long, elegant dining table.
La Chocolaterie – Chocolate as Salad Substitute?
For Mother's Day, I took Mama Lam to Got Craft to get some inspirations for her hobby craft work. Of course, there were a number of local food producers exhibiting as well. In particular, the La Chocolaterie booth caught my eyes with its colourful collection of chocolates. I picked up a few boxes to take home for a tasting.
Haute Chocolate Service at Chocolate Arts Cafe
Last week Chocolate Arts launched a brand new, enhanced take on high tea - they call it the "Haute Chocolate" service. I was invited to try it out so my friend JX has joined me for some girly time.
