Home-cooking: Simple Boiled Spot Prawn

Last Saturday was the 7th annual Spot Prawn Festival held at False Creek Fisherman’s Wharf near Granville Island.  It starts at 12pm and PS and I arrived at 1pm. The lineups were INSANELY LONG when we arrived.  Good thing we didn’t pre-purchase tickets either for the Prawn boil, cuz neither of us had the patience [...]

Beacon Landing Seafood Restaurant

There are quite a lot of places to eat around Sidney actually.  Roomie and I were just lazy and didn’t want to walk far from our lodging, so we had a few meals at the MickeyD’s next door unfortunately. But we got all dressed up one night for  a Wine & Cheese at the local [...]

Upon entering the restaurant, I found it was quite [...]

Rodney’s Oyster House

They offer a variety of items from 3-6pm for a lower price.  We were here specifically for the oysters but [...]

Vancouver Olympics 2010 Eats Around Town 2

The next day I visited Granville Island with Pretty Sis.  She wanted to visit The House of Switzerland (not really a house, just Bridges Restaurant offering a few Swiss menu choices), I wanted to visit Atlantic Canada House. First up [...]
