[REVIEW] La Chocolaterie

La Chocolaterie is a little ganache shop located within a large Japanese marketplace, Izumiya. They are located near Lansdowne Centre and the Richmond Superstore.

I've heard a lot about their (Japanese-style) chocolate/ ganache, so I decided to give it a try.

[REVIEW] Fair bee Coffee & Tea

Fair bees is located in Lansdowne Centre. Out of all the bbt places I've been to, their bbt is cheap and good.

Fair Bees special drinks
Honey Lemon Green Tea is my go-to bbt drink, although I didn't add any pearls into it. It's not overly sweet but you can taste the green tea and a slight lemon sourness.
Fair Bees Honey Lemon Green Tea- $2.99
My friend ordered the Ferroro Rocher slush. It's amazing! It tastes just like a coffee crisp~
Fair Bees Ferroro Rocher slush- $4.99
Food: (5/5) Delicious!

Service: (5/5) My friend and I were the only customers there, so there was no line-up. 

Ambiance: (4/5) They have a couple of seats available, but most customers order their drinks on-the-go. The cute little shop reminds me of a little bee hive (Fair bees, duh).

Value: (4.5/5) Cheap bbt for their quality!

Overall: I will definitely come back here if I want bbt !! ^^

[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] 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.

[REVIEW] Lucky Star Chinese Restaurant 新港澳茶餐廳




After working on a project with my friend, Peggy, we went to get some late lunch/early afternoon tea. Peggy recommended we go to a Hong Kong-style cafe (茶餐廳).

We were parked directly in front of the restaurant and left in a rush,
so I didn't take a picture of the restaurant.

First Food Haul of 2013 =] + mini review

In preparation for upcoming last-minute assignment due dates and midterms, I decided to grab some snacks at the local drugstore (London Drugs).

{Food Diary} January 2013

For the past 11 days, I've been only eating at 2 places: at school and at home. For lunch I bought a loaf of coconut bread (it's basically same as a cocktail bun, but with the coconut stuff swirled in a loaf of white bread).
