Another bubble tea shop opens in Vancouver. Hailed from Taiwan, Baroness is by design a boutique franchise with only 3 locations in Taiwan, 1 in Hong Kong, and now 1 in Vancouver. They are located near Broadway and MacDonald. I was invited to a tasting of some of its signature drinks.
Another Dine Out dinner that we did this year was a re-visit to the Oakwood Canadian Bistro in Kitsilano. This time around, I've arranged a big group - all 9 members of our Garibaldi Beer Club. In this post not only will I share my experience at the dinner, but I will also include comments from fellow beer club members.
This year's Dine Out brought us back to some restaurants that we've been to in the past. Baru Latino was one of them. We checked it out for Dine Out 2010 (when it was held in April to not get in the way of the Winter Games), and six years later we're intrigued to give it another shot. Overall, the dishes were a bit hit and miss at Baru Latino.
For my birthday, Mr. surprised me with a dinner at Supermarine. Since its opening, I've been wanting to check it out so I was very excited when our car pulled up right in front of the restaurant. Supermarine focuses on sustainable, seasonal, local products, highlighting the best that our farmers and fishers can offer. There are a number of staple items on the menu with seasonal dishes as well as daily features.
Having some 1:1 time with CC and I was suddenly inspired to try a new restaurant (I usually wait a bit before going to a new place, just to give them time to work out the kinks, etc.). There were a few options but the name AnnaLena, as well as its menu, intrigued me, so we checked it out on a Friday night.
