I’m not gonna lie. Of all the Guus I’ve been to, Guu in Aberdeen is my least favorite. I think I was just less wowed this time by the creativity in the menu items, but even at that, Guu in Aberdeen is still pretty darn good. Guu has always been a guud and reliable source [...]

It’s a shame that Tim’s Dessert House closed down. Now I can’t find any fresh-made phoenix rolls in the mall. On the bright side, it was replaced by Wo Fung Dessert, another Hong Kong spot, but this time also serving savory HK street food, and I have to say, their fried chicken wings make Tim’s [...]

Dim Sum in Richmond, BC is my favorite. Now, my new favorite dim sum restaurant is Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant. Simply put, the dim sum was fresh. Dumplings were more moist than my visit to Fisherman’s Terrace Seafood Restaurant the day before. On the down side, I don’t think Sun Sui Wah had as [...]

My new favorite milk tea cafe is Totoro Cafe. It feels new, still low-key, and closes at 4am. The drinks are good, using real ingredients – not powder – and made to order. I love their thick toast, especially their butter toast. Something like this is definitely not healthy, but it’s worth the calories. I [...]

My visit this time around to Fisherman’s Terrace Seafood Restaurant in the Aberdeen Centre wasn’t as magical as the first, but it was still very good. The dumplings were big but they weren’t as juicy as before. Still, it’s one of the better places I’ve been to for dim sum. 4151 Hazelbridge Way Richmond, BC [...]

It’s hard to go wrong with soup dumplings (小籠包) in Richmond. One of my favorites restaurant for soup dumplings now is Top Shanghai Cuisine Restaurant. Their version is not greasy like some places’, but in return, some of the flavor gets lost. Still, the dumplings were still soupy and tasty. Thinner skin would have been [...]

A trip to Richmond, BC isn’t complete without soup dumplings (小籠包/xiao long bao). All the rave is on Shanghai River right now. The only part I didn’t like about their soup dumplings was that the skin was just a little too thick on top, but overall, it was really good. Their food in general was [...]

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to try many things at Saint Germain Bakery inside the Aberdeen Centre. I went there because I saw that it had the same name as the one in Hawaii; however, the things they were selling were different. Turns out they’re not related. They have lots of cakes, and lots of macarons, [...]

Some people call it Taiwanese shaved ice, and some call it snowflake ice because that’s the literal translation in Chinese (雪花冰), but I’m used to calling it shaved snow because that’s how they translated it in the first place that ever had it in Taiwan, XinFaTing. Unlike regular shaved ice (泡冰), the ice is not [...]
