As part of my World Food Tour series, Jomar and I went to Simba's Grill Vancouver. They are an African Restaurant according to Foursquare. It's our first time to try African cuisine. Let's see how it went. African Restaurant Category There are 7 restaurants categorized in Foursquare as 'African Restaurant' and I searched the description for usually the top 3 and decide from there.

Quiet, Busy May

I have been so busy at work and with my new role as Customer Success that I didn't have any new food adventure the last two weeks. Last night, I did spend two hours writing a short post in LinkedIn about my experience as customer success manager so far. Personally, it's a quiet and busy May.
