Food Trip in Vancouver (Mount Pleasant): Menya Japanese Noodle

Image
It was a rainy early evening as I walk towards the Hootsuite office for a meetup. I was searching online  Foursquare for good places to have dinner after the event is over. The app showed all restaurants within my vicinity, and one of the suggestions is Menya Japanese Noodle. Since it was raining, it only made sense for me to have a bowl of ramen and gyoza. 8-pc Gyoza Tantanmen Ramen I entered the restaurant. It is full of Japanese men, women, and children eating what they had to serve. I thought to myself they must have good (authentic even) food to attract this crowd. I ordered Tantanmen Ramen and Gyoza for my dinner. The ramen was delicious! I enjoyed my warm and spicy Ramen bowl while it's raining outside. I am happy. 2019 Update: They changed management, and the quality and recipe of the Ramen changed. It's not as good as it used to. :(

Food Trip in Vancouver (Downtown): Five Guys

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!
