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.
When work sent me to a 3-day class downtown, I had to scout out my lunch spots. And then there was Kita no Donburi right across from the campus (I was at the Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue). Not having made any friends in class just yet, I had to eat alone at Kita no Donburi. Let me first start by saying, it's weird to eat alone.
We were invited to go on a tour to check out the various Donnelly Group properties and their Dine Out Vancouver menu. Donnelly Group locations are offering their Dine Out menu at $20. Executive Chef Alvin Pillay has recently returned to the company group, and he's quite proud of the menus that he's put together. After tasting some of the items, I thought it's pretty good value for the money. The menu seems ordinary, but executive chef and the kitchen teams have added some flare to the classics. Pick a location that offers the vibe and atmosphere that you want, a $20 3-course dinner isn't such a bad idea for a dinner out.
Peter is back for another guest post! If you don't remember him, he's a friend of mine from Toronto. I met him while he's working in Vancouver, but he's moved back home since. Recently he returned for a short visit, and made around town for some sushi: something he most missed in Vancouver.
For her birthday, I took MaMa Lam out for a fancy dinner. Market has been on her list for quite some time now, so that naturally became our destination. It was a very nice restaurant, lots of natural sunlight from the windows, modern and spacious.
