Yes yes yes, my blog’s name is Half Fat Chasiu, so I should’ve made this as my first entry or something. Well, I finally have the time to sit down and write about my latest cha siu endeavor. As my blog name suggests, I love cha siu. They’re my favourite type of dish in a…
Araxi
Oooh fancy fancy. After our snowmobile tour (which was fun but also scary because my snowmobile flipped), we decided to go to Araxi, a well known high-end restaurant in Whistler. This place is pretty pricey and I actually wasn’t sure if we can enter the restaurant considering we were all in our winter snow gears…
Crepe Montagne
In December, a couple of friends and I booked an AirB&b apartment in Whistler for a weekend, looking for a quick holiday getaway. It was my first time driving up to Whistler so I had no idea that the route towards Whistler is SOOO full of curves. (The last time I was in Whistler I was…
Homer St. Cafe & Bar
Sigh. I’m not a huge fan of roasted chicken, and I definitely do not enjoy chicken breast. So roasted chicken breast is not my definition of fun. It was my friend’s birthday and she decided to try Homer St. Cafe & Bar, so I simply kept mum and followed along. After some quick googling, it…
Tai Hing Congee and Noodle House 大興粥麵之家
So from my dim sum post earlier, I’m sure you would know by now that I love rice rolls, especially shrimp rice rolls! I’ve heard good things about the breakfast at Tai Hing Congee and Noodle House, so I decided to visit them before my Saturday class one morning. For 2 people, we ordered a…
Homemade Dim Sum
I love dim sum. Growing up my family would go for dim sum every weekend, but now that we’re all older now and have our own busy schedule, we stopped going as frequently. When we go to dim sum, my favourite dim sum dish is shrimp rice rolls, 蝦腸. The other day I was daydreaming…
Smart N Save Cafe – 至價細小食店
I was helping out at my parents’ place on Saturday and we got hungry around afternoon tea time. My mom and I didn’t want to have a full on dinner, so we decided to grab some quick snack and try Smart N Save Cafe. Whenever I read Chinese newspapers I would see the their advertisements…
Flying Beaver Bar & Grill
Flying Beaver actually has a special place in my heart. I love the calming view you get at the bar and enjoy the overall chill vibe there. I’m not a drinker as I’m usually the designated driver, but I really enjoy pub food – and to me, Flying Beaver does it right. The only downside?…
Italian Kitchen on Alberni – Glowbal
Well…3 (4?) years ago when I worked at a former company I have won a $25 gift card to any Glowbal restaurants. I’ve always imagined Glowbal restaurants to be fancy and expensive and I couldn’t imagine what I could get for $25; plus I don’t usually hang around in Downtown either, so I just never…
Red Fish Blue Fish (Victoria)
Here’s the part II to my Victoria trip — our dinner at Red Fish Blue Fish. We were in a hurry to catch the last ferry back to Vancouver and decided to simply try out Red Fish Blue Fish in downtown Victoria, considering it has a pretty high rating and it was nearby. There weren’t a…
Jam Cafe (Victoria)
A couple of my relatives have came to visit us in Vancouver, and being their first time in Canada we decided to take them around town — including Victoria. I haven’t been to Victoria since I was like 5…so I was actually quite excited about the trip too! I did some homework and picked couple…
McDonald’s Red Velvet Oreo McFlurry
So McDonald came out with Red Velvet Oreo McFlurry to celebrate its anniversary and I thought, man, I HAVE to try that! And OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO TRY IT TOO — It tastes JUST like regular Oreo McFlurry.
Man Ri Sung Korean Restaurant – 萬里城
Oh, this is going to be a fun one. So my girlfriends were planning a get together and couldn’t decide where to eat. One of them mentioned a Korean restaurant that does Peking Duck, and upon hearing that I announced that we have to go – it can’t be good! So we all agreed. We had 5…
