Food Trip in Vancouver (Downtown): Five Guys

Image
Oh, how I wish I am better at taking food photos! The only picture I took of the food from Five Guys did not give justice to the delicious, juicy burger I had. Therese and I coming from our six-hour shift were exhausted, and I was planning to have dinner at a nearby Japanese Curry restaurant that Foursquare keeps suggesting (yes, I allow Foursquare to be my food guide). Sadly, we didn't find the restaurant early enough that it was already closed for the day. Now, we looked around and saw Five Guys open just across the street from where we were standing. Awesome! Time to eat. Bacon Cheeseburger! This definitely goes to the top of the best burgers I have tried in a long time!

Food Trip in Vancouver (Downtown): Waffle Bant

If you love crispy, sweet, and delicious waffles, this is the place to go. My siblings and I had a discussion if we're waffles or pancakes (siblings food war). Therese and I were Team Waffles because we enjoy the crunchy exterior of waffles while Hovey and Alyanna were Team Pancakes because they love how soft pancakes are (I guess another factor here is Hovey works part-time at IHOP.). Anyway, Therese and I in one of our after-work dates had dinner at Waffle Bant. She saw it while we were walking to the SkyTrain. She had a full-on dessert while I had a sandwich. Bacon and Egg Medium Sandwich (4 Waffles)  Darkest Desire Waffle I love how crunchy the exterior of the waffles in my sandwich was. I also enjoyed how the flavours of my lunch tasted together in every bite. The sweet waffle buns, salty bacon and egg, crunchy apples, and fresh tomatoes tasted really great together. Though I think I should have ordered the small one because with the medium-sized sandwich, come t

Food Trip in Richmond (Aberdeen Center): Saboten

I love Japanese Curry! If you need a fix of Japanese (or any Asian) cuisine, you should definitely go to Richmond. The curry from Saboten tasted like what you would expect from Japan. The meat was tender (though a bit too oily), and the sauce was at the right consistency. Overall, I am happy and satisfied with my Japanese Curry.

Food Trip in Richmond (Granville): Pumphouse Taproom

Therese wanted to go out last night because it was Friday. Again, ever since we attended the travel meetup, she wanted to try something new every Friday after her classes. Since I can't accompany her yesterday to the Vancouver Lookout Tower , Therese suggested we go to a restaurant or bar in Richmond. Upon research, she decided we should try Pumphouse Taproom because she wanted some alcoholic drink. I, on the other hand, am a foodie, so I was after trying out their food. I had their Prosciutto Chicken Burger while Therese had their Calamari. Prosciutto Chicken Burger Calamari The Calamari was superb. It was crispy and wasn't chewy or oily at all. It was excellent. I wish I could say the same for the Chicken burger. Sadly, the burger I ordered was dry, and the whole thing was just tasteless. I was telling Therese that I should have probably ordered their other burger. Ambiance and service were also excellent. It was a pub/bar because of the full range of beer
