Rain couldn’t keep us away from enjoying Vancouver Foodster’s Yaletown edition of Tasting Plates. If you’ve never been to one of Richard’s events, they’re a great way to discover culinary gems in the Greater Vancouver Area. Each event focuses on a neighbourhood and this time we found ourselves in trendy Yaletown. I met my bestie Josh…

Green Bamboo Vietnamese Cuisine
There’s a short-lived tradition that I have with a close friend, we don’t see each other often but when we do we always go for Pho. We have tried some old haunts and have sometimes discovered new ones, and that was the case when we “discovered” a little place called Green Bamboo Viet Noodle near…
Nuoc Cham Sauces by The Wooden Boat Review
Nước chấm is a Vietnamese for a common variety of dipping sauces, which can be sweet, sour, salty, savoury and spicy. If you’ve eaten at a local Vietnamese restaurant, you most likely would have tasted nuoc cham in the form of a dipping sauce for your deep fried spring rolls or sauce you pour over your lemongrass…
Hai Phong Vietnamese Kitchen
For opening night of The Book of Mormon, Mary and I, along with our hubbies and friend, went for a foodie dinner. I’ve passed by Hai Phong Vietnamese Kitchen several times and now finally had a reason to dine there that evening! Hai Phong has two restaurants, one along Kingsway in East Vancouver, and this location, which is…
Bun Cha Ca Hoang Yen
Hoang Yen is a quaint little Vietnamese café located on Victoria Drive in Vancouver. You would probably miss it if you’re walking by but a friend took me there specifically, and I’m very glad she did! I went there on a Sunday at 10:30 AM and it was open and already swinging. I’d been up…
Pho T&T, Port Coquitlam
On a nice rainy day, after a long day of work, nothing makes me feel better than to stop off at my neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant for a piping hot bowl of pho noodle soup and some lemongrass chicken. A convenient walk from the West Coast train station in Port Coquitlam, Pho T&T is my favorite pho…
Pho Tam
The dreary weather outside has me longing for warmer climates and sun. In Vancouver, the next best thing is trying to find a decent bowl of ramen or pho to warm up to. I’ve heard good things about Pho Tam from other bloggers. Some of them claim it’s the best pho they’ve ever had. I…
All About Pho
Little by little, Surrey Central is getting more restaurants and cafes. A new Vietnamese restaurant called All About Pho has opened up on the space where the old 7-11 space used to be on King George Blvd. I was a little puzzled by the amount of negative reviews on Urbanspoon for this place. It’s only…
Pho Central
My friend @customersright is a vegetarian and had never tried Pho before. Someone suggested Pho Central to him. @joshrimer and myself joined him for some lunch. I will start with everything that I liked about Pho Central. I love that’s so conveniently located on the Davie Village, I love that their menu has a good…
Phnom Penh 金邊小館
Why oh why has it taken me so long to try this place out? I’ve heard nothing but good things about it, and the place is always packed. Looking at it from the outside, you’d never guess this restaurant is #1 on Urbanspoon. Located at the edge of Chinatown, Phnom Penh is a Cambodian/Vietnamese restaurant that…
