Celine's Life Adventure

The closest Filipino restaurant to our house (that we know of) is not walking distance and that's saying a lot because Vancouver is a walkable city. It's 18 minutes via bus or 35 minutes via walk. Josephine's Restaurant and Catering I grew up in the Philippines and somehow it will always be home. I love Filipino food and cook at home but there are dishes that are just too complicated to cook that eating out is always fun. Jomar and I tried Josephine's Restaurant and Catering one Saturday for lunch. It's beside another Filipino store, Aling Mary which has freshly baked Pandesal (yum!). When you're walking along Main Avenue, you can actually smell the freshly baked bread. It smells so good! The food is awesome. We tried as many type of viand as we could because they have a combo of 2 viand plus rice. We even needed an extra rice because we ordered too much. Plus, turon! I will definitely come back because this is the closest place I could have all the Fi

It was the first Monday of the year and we're adjusting back to work. Jomar and I decided to have dinner at the small Vietnamese restaurant close to the office. The Food This is my favorite pho place in Vancouver. We ordered Vietnamese Spring Roll to get us started. Spring Roll Then, Jomar a large House Special Noodle Soup and I had a Vermicelli bowl with Grilled Chicken and Grilled Pork Chop. Vermicelli Bowl House Special Noodle Soup I love the broth in Jomar's chosen pho! Unfortunately, we didn't realize that they have desserts until we're home and I am looking at photos online.

Bella Pizza is the closest pizza place at our house and it's the first time we tried it. Pizza by the Slice Jomar and I decided to eat in and observe Bella Pizza. It seems to be the only pizza by the slice in the area. There's Fresh Slice along Granville (between Broadway and 8th Avenue) and Panago along Broadway (between Birch Street and Alder Street) which I believe also offer pizza by the slice but this is surprisingly popular. Pizza quality is okay. It's not the best but by the 3rd bite of my Pepperoni pizza, it's not too bad. Pasta and Wings My biggest regret is ordering the Buffalo Wings and Lasagna because it's not good. Are we going back here? Maybe or we'll just take the extra steps to better tasting pizza at Domino's or Panago.
