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!
For a triple-date night, we went for Dine Out at Chicha, a Peruvian-inspired eatery in the Mount Pleasant area. There were lots of options on the $28 menu, with some interesting combination of ingredients. I was intrigued.
Last weekend we checked out the Columbia StrEAT in New Westminster, featuring more than 50 food trucks from the Lower Mainland. We tried a few trucks, including Fliptop Filipino Fusion. This food truck is usually in the Fairview area during the week, not in my 'hood, so I was quite excited about the opportunity to try them.
Joyce and I attended the media launch event at Prestons for its fall menu -- my first food blogger-type event. Socializing and Lisa equals: out of comfort zone plus awkward, which also equals to complete social misfit. Nevertheless, still had a good time, met some really cool people, some really flamboyant people, and a couple of drinks.
