[RECIPE] Chocolate-covered pretzel goldfish

 You know those chocolate-covered pretzels you can find at the bulk section of a grocery store? And we all know that everyone secretly sneaks a treat while scooping up some of those yummy mini cookies or those animal crackers.

Now there's pretzel Goldfish!

 My mom bought a big chocolate bar, for baking purpose. There was about 12oz of chocolate left so I thought I might as well use it up. I prefer dark chocolate over regular milk chocolate, just because I think milk chocolate is too sweet.

[REVIEW] Yeti Yogurt - SFU Burnaby Campus

Yay! There's frozen yogurt on SFU campus!! *throws glitter*

I have a weak spot for frozen yogurt- Pinkberry, Qoola, Menchies- you name it!
Now that it's available on campus, located at Cornerstone Buildings, I can grab one anytime I want.

[REVIEW] Chicco Cafe

Chicco cafe is located in the West End of Robson St.
It is after the intersection of Robson St and Nicola St.
The time it takes to walk from Vancouver City Centre skytrain station to Chicco is about 15-20 minutes (estimated) but in the end Maiko and I jumped onto the #5 bus.

Chicco cafe only accepts cash.

 I was out with a group of friends and we all craved for dessert. Someone suggested Leisure Tea & Coffee.

[a little warning: I went to Leisure Tea & Coffee a while back, but I didn't have time to sit down and write a review. If I do go back, I will do a more concise review, and I can't remember everything off the top of my head- consider this a little review post ^^]

[REVIEW] Matsuyama Japanese Restaurant (松山)

Late night sushi dinner!
The parking lot has very limited parking spaces and it shares the lot with a couple other restaurants.... It was quite late, around 10pm or so, so it took us around 8 minutes to find a parking spot.
