Japanese izakaya in Vancouver, B.C.

At Guu with Garlic… Ramune is awesome. I mixed it with ohsu and crushed strawberries for their “Cherry Blossom” drink.

The food was good too. The faves were the salmon carpaccio, fried chicken tendons, and the balls. We also got three orders of the chicken wings. The third one was a surprise- and is why we didn’t order another new dish. But, since we took the mistaken additional order, we helped out our poor trainee waiter who couldn’t keep up with the two waitresses. Poor guy looked traumatized and nervous. We felt almost like we were in an anime, where this was the scene of him being such a klutz and being afraid and frustrated but trying to brave through it with determination. I’m sure after his shift he would sit in a meadow looking at the moon exhausted and thoughtful, wiping the sweat from his brow where some girl with big eyes would find him and give him words of encouragement, ha ha.

  

And the almond tofu dessert truly was smooth and left me room for a taste of La Casa Gelato that unfortunately was not enjoyed by the other travelers I was with.

A Chinese Experience in Vancouver B.C.

I flew from Portland on a quick little hour flight to Vancouver B.C. to join 4/5 of my family for a Memorial Day weekend in Vancouver B.C. We had a day that were Chinese themed: Saturday all day. Here are the highlights from my Adventures of Pech 2009 Picasa album.

First stop at the Dr Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden:

A Dim Sum lunch afterwards at Kirin Downtown location:

 

Dinner at Sun Sui Wah in Richmond, BC before going to Night Market (the first not worth the wait, but the second surprise- which involved a waiter running over in excitement to draw us a map when the cashier didn’t know what we were asking about- well worth it):
