Adonia Teahouse
Mini Afternoon Tea
I love the feeling of going to high tea. It’s like going back to childhood memories where you dressed up and had tea parties! Afternoon tea is a great choice to get together with your bestie or a few girls to catch up and indulge in some tasty mini sweets and savouries, while taking a sip from your favourite tea. I’ve gone to both the Urban Tea Merchant and...

Ben & Jerry's Pistachio Ice Cream
Going States grocery shopping means buying some ice cream! The States sells branded ice cream like Ben & Jerry’s, Haagen Daaz and Dreyers for ridiculously cheaper prices than in Canada! Decided to try this pistachio flavour Ben & Jerry’s and it actually has pieces of pistachio nuts in it. Has a great pistachio flavour and the bits of nuts in it gives it a great texture....

This one was red velvet with buttercream frosting. So I...

I forgot what the name of these were though, but much better than the butter-shoyu I had last time. I found that one too salty and soggy. This one was dry...

Damien's Belgian Waffles
White Chocolate Belgian Waffle
Always heard about Damien’s Belgian Waffles in Steveston Village but never got a chance to try it! Took me a while to even find the place since it’s not exactly near the wharf area. Place was quiet and small, but there were a variety of waffles to choose from. I decided to go for the white chocolate flavour. It started to melt really quickly when I...

Penne Arrabbiata - crispy pancetta, peperoncino, basil, tomatoes
Went to Italian Kitchen in Downtown Vancouver for a girl’s night out dinner. Somehow, we ended up there really late, almost at 9, but the place was still packed and luckily, they were still serving dinner. Atmosphere is...
