Cutlet house

While walking around downtown Vancouver, my friends and I discovered Dae-Ji, a Korean cutlet house. They had a few of their dishes out on display in the front window and our stomachs knew we had to stop by for lunch! The interior was adorable and the food was good, the portions were very filling and we could add extra things like egg or cheese for $0.99! The only thing that would prevent me from returning is the wait time for our food. We probably waited nearly an hour for our food to come out.

(I have no idea who that is but I thought the tree was really pretty)

Chicken cutlet

Fish cutlet (I highly recommend this one among the three)

Pork cutlet

The One

My visit to The One in Burnaby would make it my first time having Taiwanese food. Taiwanese food consists of deep fried foods mostly so if you're into asian cuisine and deep fried foods, you'll love Taiwanese food! But that isn't what brought me to The One, I heard about their famous "tall slush" and needed to get in on the hype! They have a huge selection of drinks and food so I will definitely be back to try everything...

Lychee

Taro

After drinking half of it, I got the rest packed up... it doesn't even look like I drank any, you really get more than what you paid for which is great!

Their chicken nugget fried rice is a must order!

Deep fried squid

Coal Harbour

Vancouver is a beautiful city but within this city, there are certain places you NEED to visit in order to see how beautiful it can get. Coal Harbour is one of those places and what better way to enjoy the view then over dinner? There are Cactus Club Cafes scattered throughout the city but this one was especially wonderful because of the size of the restaurant and definitely the view. I noticed that every restaurant I visited was always busy no matter what time during the day it was but this restaurant was extra busy, despite the size of it, there was a lineup but luckily we made reservations!

Peppercorn sirloin

Butternut squash + prawn ravioli 

Calamari

Overall, this Cactus Club is a great restaurant choice for any occasion, especially dates because of the setting!

Another hot day in BC

If you ever get the chance to be on the coast, you need to eat seafood. No questions asked, why wouldn't you want to eat seafood when it's extra fresh there?! On a sunny afternoon, my friend and I decided to visit the Richmond location of Browns Social House, after going to temple. They have really good fish and chips and the interior of the restaurant is quite nice!

Half order of  the Fettuccine Carbonara 

Fish and Chips

Belgian Waffles

Ever since I tried a Belgian waffle, I couldn't go back to eating regular waffles or "Eggo" waffles. Nero Belgian Waffle Bar, on Robson street of Downtown Vancouver has the best waffles I've ever tasted! The waffles are fluffy and you get to choose whether you want your waffle to be soft or crispy.

Mini waffles! Yes, I had to take some to go with me!

All you can eat!

I love all you can eat places because I can eat A LOT. Shabusen Yakiniku House in downtown Vancouver is a combination of Japanese cuisine ad Korean BBQ. I went during dinner time so it cost $25.50 per person but including tax and tips it was $30. The food came out quick and my friends and I got seated in boats! The only problem is that if you do not finish your food, you have to pay a fee starting from $5 or so.

Sushi craving satisfied!

Every corner of Vancouver consists of some sort of Asian cuisine, many being Japanese restaurants. Now the question is, which one is worth the money? Kamei Royale was one of the first restaurant to introduce the BC Roll and the food is great. I was craving sushi and tried to order something from each page of the menu...
