Queen Elizabeth Park: Family, Experience, and View

Image
Since I am new to Canada, it's my first time to experience Spring. I am excited to see how the environment will change with the season change. Therese was so enthusiastic about the Sakura Illumination , but for weather reasons, they moved it to April 1. Nonetheless, our family decided to visit the park to see Spring colours come back to life! Sadly, not all flowers are in full bloom yet, but we did have some great photos to take with us. More importantly, we had some family quality time.

Food Trip in Richmond (West Cambie): Cactus Club

Happy birthday Therese! =) We had dinner earlier today to celebrate the birthday of my dearest sister Therese. She chose the Cactus Club Cafe to celebrate her birthday because we haven't tried eating there. She made the 6 PM reservation and thanked God, she did! For a Wednesday evening, the place was packed. We all ordered what we wanted and had dinner. Appetizer for Everyone: Beef Carpaccio I had Pesto Chicken Quesadilla.

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. :(
