Neighbour's Restaurant

We've got another food adventure inspired by John Catucci from You Gotta Eat Here on the Food Network. Michael and I went to Neighbour's Restaurant Pizza and Pasta House with my fabulous aunt, located on 6493 Victoria Drive in Vancouver.

The inside is dimly lit and blooms a cozy feel

I have a childhood friend who lives really close to the restaurant, so if she is reading this I wanted to say hello. When Michael and I walked in to the restaurant it seemed really cozy, like a family style restaurant. I liked that there were pictures of John Catucci around the establishment and on their menu.

The menu at Neighbours is really big, there is so much to choose, from pasta, pizza, a combination, or Greek food. It was such a big menu that the three of us, Michael, my aunt and myself, couldn't decided what we wanted and took a good 15 to 20 minutes to decide what we wanted.

Their most popular dish - baked lasagna

I initially thought I was going to order the pizza because that's what John got, but everything changed when I saw the menu. After a long time deciding our linner (a combination of lunch and dinner), I got the baked lasagna ($14.95) since the menu claimed it's their most popular dish. It tasted a lot more cheesier then an average lasagna, that was a major plus, and the meat sauce with the lasagna wasn't overwhelming, so everything went really well with the combination. I would describe the food as smooth and very flavorful from the gooey cheese and the light taste of the meat.

Chicken Mediterranean Dish

Michael got the Chicken Mediterranean Dish ($15.95), and thought the chicken was nice but it was a little over seasoned and a little salty for his liking. But there were lots of the chicken so that was nice. He said the mushrooms in the chicken was a nice combination as well and that the rice pilaf on the side was very enjoyable - good flavour and mixing well with the chicken. The salad was nice and light, with sprinklings of cheese giving a little creamy taste.

Canadian bacon and pepperoni pizza

My aunt got the Canadian bacon and pepperoni ($19.95) pizza, and was ever so nice to let me try. I thought the pizza was really good, meaty and cheesy, and the pizza overall was light so it didn't feel too overwhelming after finishing. I usually leave the crust behind when I finish a slice, but the Neighbour's crust was light and it was far from being dry.

Overall, Michael and I really liked Neighbour's and we wouldn't mind going back to try some more different selections on the menu. For the price that we paid, the amount of food we were served is outrageous. We left the restaurant really full and we can't wait to go back for more food.

Society

I never gave much thought about Society. Maybe because I always get the same thing when I go, but it was a friend's birthday and I was out to celebrate with her, and of course Michael came with me as well to back me up.

Welcome to Society restaurant - at 1257 Hamilton St in the the trendy part of Vancouver's Yaletown. I always get the poutine and tomato soup when I go and never thought their menu was special, but then I wasn't exactly making a lot of choices on their menu. The inside of the restaurant is actually very chic, dark with pink chandeliers. The theme of the restaurant is sort of "finding your inner kid" with an adult twist. So some of their alcoholic drinks have spiked milkshakes and cotton candy with their martinis.

I originally thought I would get a small salad and perhaps share an appetizer with Michael, but I ended up getting really hungry and ended with more then just a salad. Michael on the other hand wasn't that hungry because he had a late lunch. So I was a little sad that he wouldn't be munching crazy.

We ended up sharing the appetizer platter

I have always seen their Signature Appetizer Platter but never tried it. So tonight was the night and Michael is the lucky one who gets to share this platter with me. The appetizer platter ($15 per person) consists of two little dishes of poutine (my favourite), mini cheese pizza, chicken wings, mac and cheese balls, and kobe beef taquitos. It came in such a big platter and everything was served in a shareable manner. The poutine was delicious and the french fries crispy. The cheese curds were squishy and the gravy was delightful, thick and very flavourful.

The pizza was nice and cheesy and soft, I liked that I didn't have to deal with any crust, so that was nice. The chicken wings was crispy and very moist. I think that was Michael's favourite part of the platter. I really liked the hot sauce that came with the wings, enough heat for the chicken wings. Both Michael and I thought the mac and cheese balls were fun to eat, it was something different and fun to the classic mac and cheese. The pasta was fried in to little balls, you would think their meatballs, but bits of macaroni would ooze out, As for the taquitos, I originally thought it was going to be dry, maybe from all the terrible memories of school cafeteria taquitos. But the society version was really good, the beef was very moist and the tortilla was wrapped very nicely. The sour cream on top gave it a nice creamy texture and flavour to everything.
Tomato soup

Now moving away from the appetizer platter, I had to get my tomato soup ($8.95), it tasted more creamy then the soup from Burgoo, so I assume it's not as vegan friendly. The soup arrived with two little grilled cheese sandwiches which I shared with Michael, Michael and I really liked that the sandwiches were small and it was convenient to dunk into the bowl.

Fried calamari

Lastly, we got fried calamari with smoked red pepper aioli ($11.95). Michael thought it wasn't worth the price for the portion that served to us. But we both thought the calamari was very tasty,  it wasn't fried to the extreme that the squid loses it's texture and taste. The aioli was also nice and creamy. To wash everything down I got a Peach Fuzz which is a little carbonated martini with peach liqueur and Michael got a beer, he didn't like his beer that much because he thought the cup was small.

I can honestly say that I was so hungry that I didn't take notice from what I was eating, I was eating everything in sight. But my thoughts on Society hasn't changed. It's a nice place to go for casual drinks with friends but it's not somewhere I would go with Michael.

Torarenbo

There are so many sushi places in Richmond so it's really hard to say which one is our favourite. Michael and I were on a bit of a time crunch over the weekend and wanted to grab a bite before a comedy show.    


We randomly picked Torarenbo, located at 8191 Park Rd, I've been here before with my parents but Michael wanted to go to try out their barbecued fish.

Spicy tuna roll

We shared everything that we ordered, except for my spicy tuna roll ($4.25). Michael doesn't like raw spicy anything. Whenever I'm at a casual sushi restaurant I always need to get spicy tuna roll, I don't know why, it's just a routine of mine. If my best friend is reading this, I think she would understand and give me a hand hug to that. I thought the spicy tuna roll was pretty mediocre just like any other spicy tuna roll I have had in Richmond. But the tuna tasted fresh and I loved the spicy kick it gives.

Gyoza
 
Michael and I shared gyozas ($4.50), yum, one of my favourite. Usually when I am at casual Japanese restaurant, the gyozas are pretty simple. But surprisingly the gyozas from Torarenbo were really good, once you bite in to it there are juices from the pork that comes out. It was really flavourful and the vinegar on the side made everything else more perfect.

Angry Bird roll

I love sushi rolls that restaurants create on their own, I think it's original and the restaurant adds some fun in to the sushi concept. Michael and I ordered one of the Torarenbo signature rolls, The Angry Bird roll ($6.85).  This caught my eye from the menu was because none other then it's one of Michael's favourite game on his phone. It contains chicken, we can see why the bird is angry, served with spicy mayo, seaweed, and tempura flakes. I thought the roll was good but the spicy mayo did nothing, it tasted like regular mayonnaise. I was hoping to have a little more heat. But the crunch from the seaweed and flakes were nice.

Zaru Soba

Michael ordered Zaru Soba ($5.95) one of his favourites, it was presented in a much nicer way then we have seen from other  casual sushi restaurants, it had the garnishes such as onions, sesame seed, and a quail egg on the side to mix it all in with the soy sauce to dip with the noodles.  I thought even with such elaborate garnish on the side, the noodles and the soy sauce together was very bland, the soy sauce and everything else did nothing. But I did think that the buckwheat noodles were cooked nicely and didn't taste chewy.

Barbequed Saba

Finally the barbecue "Saba" mackerel ($8.25) that Michael has been hearing about. He thought it tasted fabulous and that the meat was very easy to chew, smooth, and juicy. Myself on the other hand, thought it tasted okay. I wouldn't say it tasted as smooth as Michael have thought. I think I have had better barbecue fishes else where.

Overall my opinion on Torarenbo has not changed from the first time I was there. Since today Michael and I were on such a rush, I didn't really mind where we ate. Torarenbo to me is just a casual sushi restaurant in Richmond that serves mediocre Japanese food, a good place to make a pit stop if you have a sushi crave kicking in. If I wanted really good sushi this isn't place for me.

Burgoo Bistro

For the longest time Michael and I thought Burgoo was a hipster burger joint, but we were really wrong. I really considered going to Burgoo after an art buddy of mine had recommended the place to me since she told me she works there. Why not.

We began at the Burgoo on the Main Street location, but it was such a long wait and I was super duper hungry. So Michael decided to search for their other location at 4434 W. 10th in Vancouver. It was smaller and quieter inside, but the ambiance was so cozy with their fireplace and wooden walls. It was like going to grandmas house for dinner, and a hip grandma at that too. The pleasant smell of food when we walked inside was enough to make us hungry, very inviting and not overwhelming at all.

The restaurant has a small bar section too

I discovered that Burgoo was voted "the best place to hang out on a rainy day" by the Georgia Straight, and I agree since Burgoo is known for the bowls of soup, all you want to do is snuggle up to  nice hot soup on a rainy cold Vancouver day. Michael also thought their menu was interesting, it notes exactly which country every dish originates from.

Crab croquette

For starters, Michael and I shared the crab croquette ($8), originating from France. It's similar to a crab cake - a clump of fried goodness, filled with crab, cheese, potato bits and served with a tomato jam. Michael thought the croquette was the best part of the meal. Not only was it a good price for what was served to us, there was a generous amount of moist crab and he really liked the dipping sauce. I have to agree with him, it was very juicy and flavourful, especially with the cheese inside. I thought the dipping sauce was mediocre though. It was a nice sauce but it was just a little too sweet that it over powered the nice flavours the crab and cheese had to offer together. Why hide their natural flavours?

Dos Diablos

For entrees, I really had a hard time deciding what I wanted: sandwiches, soups, salads? Decisions, decisions, decisions! I went with the soup and sandwich ($15) and contemplated between the vegetarian - a sandwich with hummus, bell peppers, cucumbers, feta, artichoke and a vinaigrette dressing - or my other choice, the Dos Diablos, two slices of bread with melted spicy cheddar, chorizo sausage, and roasted bell peppers. Since Michael and I are going away together soon for somewhere with a decent beach, I have been really watching with what I eat. But faced with my weakness and kryptonite, ooey gooey cheese, I decided to go with the Dos Diablos. I loved that ooey gooey goodness and the crunchiness from the grilled sandwich was a nice bonus. I guess my diet will start tomorrow.

Tomato soup

I paired my sandwich with the tomato soup, my favourite. Tomatoes, garlic and a drizzle of olive oil, it was so rich in flavour and I could clearly taste the tanginess from the tomato. It wasn't too sour either, spot on.

Beef bouguignon

Michael got the classic French dish, the beef bourguignon ($18), when Michael told me he was going to order that,  for some reason I thought of Julia Child. Michael thought there was lots of meat on his plate and the beef was easy to chew. The sauce was nice and wasn't overwhelming. But I thought the mashed potatoes was a little underdone.

Strawberry lemonade

To wash everything down Michael had the Burgoo Brew ($5) and I had the strawberry lemonade ($3).

Yet another clever way to present the bill :)

The portions at Burgoo was so big that we weren't able to finish. Michael and I can't wait to come back to Burgoo and try the other selections on the menu. Everything sounds so good, we just want a taste of everything. Another thing I like about Burgoo is that after chatting with our waitress, I learned that Burgoo offers to a wide range of eaters, they offer gluten free, vegan, and vegetarians. How thoughtful.

Tandoori Kona

Namaste everyone! When I think of Indian food so many thoughts come to my mind, lovely memories of eating Indian food with my family, travelling to India with my mom, I could even say that I have a special spot for  Indian food.

Michael and I were browsing through a blog called Richmond 365, a blogger hired by Tourism Richmond to write about food adventures in our fair city, and came across Tandoori Kona. It's located at a strip mall on 11700 Cambie Rd and seems pretty hidden so keep your eyes open for it. Despite being tucked in the middle of a strip mall, it's touted as a renowned restaurant - voted the best Southeast Asian cuisine in the Richmond Review.


The restaurant is really small with only a few tables. It's pretty simple. There are a few Indian pictures hung up on the wall and it reminded me of the paintings I have seen in my art history classes. There is a mini bar area and doors to the kitchen that looks onwards to the restaurant. We were lucky that we went so early, the crowds started to pour in later in the evening.

Complimentary lentil biscuits with sweet sauce

I wasn't too hungry for dinner today but Michael was a starvin Marvin. Their menu is straightforward, you get to choose from different meats or vegetarian curry dishes. All the curry comes with rice, naan and lentil biscuits. We got to choose how spicy we want the curry from mild, medium, or hot.

Palak Paneer

I was torn between the classic butter chicken or one of my all time favourite indian dishes, the Palak Paneer, which is spinach and cheese. I haven't been keeping up with my veggies lately and I felt that the butter chicken is been overdone in so many restaurants these days, so I ended up choosing the paneer. I chose the mild flavour but still got a little kick of heat, I could have really used a lassi. But yum yum yum! my paneer tasted as perfect as I remembered from India. The spinach was creamy with my the chewy cheese and was so smooth and tasted so well with my basmati rice mixed into there. The moisture from the palak paneer and the dry rice was like match made perfectly. It's like french fries and ketchup, they need to be together.  I clamped my naan with my rice and paneer. It was like I died and went to Samasara.

Chicken curry

Little daredevil Michael got the plain chicken curry with medium heat. I think he really had regret that decision towards the end. Medium was pretty intense and we would hate  to imagine what spicy would be like. Nonetheless, the chicken was really tender and easy to chew. He also thought the naan bread was really fluffy and went really well with his curry.  And I have to agree with him too that the rice served with our food was really good. I don't usually like basmati rice, but the folks at Tandoori really know their rice, it was cooked perfectly and paired well with our food.

Naan bread


Michael and I really liked the authenticity of the restaurant. I snuck a peek in to the kitchen between the doors when Michael was paying and everyone looked so hardworking. It really shows in their food. I also love how they serve their curry dishes in the metal plates and bowls, something that really reminds me of India, when I was seeing the Dabbawala making their lunch deliveries around the city.

Michael and I really like Tandoori Kona, and I am confident to say that we will be returning. For the amount of food that was served to us, we couldn't even finish. We could say what a bargain deal!

L.A. Chicken

Hit me up with some of that fried chicken! This lunch has been long awaited after a long week of recovering from my minor dental surgery. For the longest time I've wanted to eat fried chicken that wasn't from a fast food franchise, but some good old fashion country style fried chicken, and finding a place that serves good bucket of fried chicken is not easy.


Michael found L.A. Chicken at 11770 Thorpe Rd. in Richmond through the Internet, but was skeptical that I wouldn't like it  because I would think it's technically not a restaurant. But I'm always up for something new, and I wanted my fried chicken bad.


There isn't much of decor to the restaurant though. When we walked inside, the place looked like it needed an update. It looks like a fast food place with a counter where you order with the menu up above. There are little tables on the side, but Michael and I decided not to stay and eat in. We were the only ones there and I was afraid to feel awkward.

The menu was pretty straightforward  fried chicken wings, thighs, drumstick and burgers. The lady told us about the lunch menu and said that it was the cheapest deal available. With a choice of rice, fries or salad,  along with a drink and gravy. We thought that was excellent because we don't have to order gravy on side. I assume that the chicken is made to order because we were told that we had to wait about 10 minutes. Well that's a good thing.

My drumsticks, thighs, fries, gravy and drink

I got two pieces of thighs with fries ($7) and Michael got four pieces of wings with fries as well ($10). The lady was nice enough to even give us an extra drumstick on the house. How nice! Both Michael and I agree that the chicken was really meaty, juicy and moist. The skin was nice and crunchy without having to feel really gross and regretting my meal afterwards. The gravy was really good, Michael and I loved loved loved the gravy, it was just yum! Unlike regular gravy there was a hint of pepper to it that gave the gravy a good kick of heat. Michael thought the the gravy was thicker and a lot more flavourful then the average gravy you get at a generic fried chicken at a fast food place.

Michael's chicken wings meal

Although the chicken tasted delightful the fries needed much work, or maybe it was us being stuck in traffic and delaying our trip back home and made the fries taste soggy, but Michael and I just can't seem to fall in love with them. It tasted more on the soggy stale side then crunchy. But I can be open minded and give the fries a second chance though.

Michael and I really like L.A. Chicken. I for one am really keen on returning the next time I want a good chicken fix. Michael is open to coming back as well, for paying a only a few more dollars then the average fast food place, we get tastier and better chicken.

Deer Garden

Deer Garden is one of Richmond's beloved franchises. What makes them so special?  Not only do they offer a normal set menu for regular Hong Kong style food, Deer Garden is also known for their noodles in soup, their specialty. A partial noodle bar you could say. Deer Garden has two locations in Richmond but we chose to go to #1178-3779 Sexsmith Rd.  Michael and I found out about this place was from one of his friends. He usually knows the greatest places to eat in Richmond, but prepare yourself because there's always going to be a wait when you get there.


The food at Deer Garden is amazing, their noodles taste fantastic and since I am recovering from a minor dental surgery, my diet is limited to what I am able to eat. There is a separate menu for their noodles, where you can select what you want as a soup base, type of noodles, and what two choice of toppings you'd like to go with the noodles. I chose from their noodle menu of course, something soft and easy to chew for me. The menu allows you to add or take away whatever you like. I took away all the veggies such as cabbage, onions and parsley.

Rice noodles on fish soup with ham and pork sausage

I got rice noodles, classic plain fish soup, with ham and a pork sausage. Lemon water to drink. The noodles were soft and silky, the fish soup was so creamy and went so well with the noodles, fantastic. The aroma of the soup made me just even more hungry and just the thought of that bowl is making me hungry. The fish aroma doesn't overpower the taste of the noodles either, there is enough of that fishy taste in the soup that it blends well with the creaminess of the soup. The ham was just plain regular ham, since I didn't want anything fancy. As for the sausage, it was boiled to way I loved and tasted like Hong Kong.

Fried pork with maggie sauce

I also got a mini side dish - pork with Maggie sauce. For those who is not familiar with it,  you could say its the soy sauce's sultry cousin. You may think it tastes like regular soy sauce, but theres a sweet tangy taste that gets you. Lots of Chinese people like to eat in with eggs, dip with poultry or with veggies. You could even see it as the Western version of an HP sauce or ketchup.

Michael's dish

Michael also went with the noodle menu. Except his bowl looked a lot more full then mine. He had the works. Michael chose rice noodles with the classic plain fish soup as well, he got the all veggies piled up on top of his noodles. For his two choices of sides was beef brisket and enoki mushroom.  His favourite part was the soup. Michael always liked the beef briskets there, they give a good amount and its well cooked beef brisket, what more can a guy ask for?  His only problem was not that his iced lemon tea came in a bubble tea cup and wasn't properly sweetened.

Fried chicken with Teriyaki sauce

For Michael's side dish he got pan fried chicken with Teriyaki sauce. Its fried chicken, you can't go wrong with fried chicken.

Our drinks .. inside bubble tea cups

For the huge portion that we got for dinner the combo only costed $7.95 each with an additional $1.75 each for the mini side dishes and $2 for our drinks.  Michael and I could agree that the service could have been better, but since the restaurant was packed we don't blame them. All is forgiven.

Santouka Ramen

Santouka Ramen on Robson Street

There are so many Japanese ramen noodles restaurants in Vancouver, yet we haven't been to a single one yet. We decided to try Santouka Ramen today, located at 1690 Robson Street on the edge of Vancouver shopping district.


The restaurant is very small, as in Michael and I can hear literally hear the conversation at our next table. There is also tables set up facing the kitchen to make it feel like a "noodle bar" type of a vibe. Since the restaurant is so small it does make me feel like I am in Japan, which is fantastic because it really gives it an authentic feel knowing that everyone who works there is from Japan. Michael found out that Santouka Ramen  is actually a franchise from Japan, it doesn't get more authentic then that.

Kara Miso Ramen (a little bit spicy)

I was hungry and I was ready to eat my little face off. Michael and I both got a ramen and rice combo. I chose the Grilled Salmon Bowl combo ($14.50), while Michael chose the Ikura Salmon Roe combo ($15.90). All the noodles were served with barbeque pork cheek, bamboo sapling, fish cakes, seaweed and their signature broth. We got to chose what goes with our broth and I got the Kara Miso which was a little spicy but not so hot that I am chugging water with every bite I take. It still had a hint of Miso taste to it which was nice.

Classic Miso Broth Ramen

Michael go the classic Miso broth, which was rich in flavour with a hint of creaminess. Michael and I really liked the noodles served with our broth. Everything went so well together, the little bamboo gave the noodles some texture. The noodles were prepared  really fresh and soft, it was an obvious that the noodles didn't come from a package. Everything went really well even though it was simple it worked. Just one delightful slurp. By the end, Michael wished he had more noodles.

Grilled Salmon with Rice

Although the noodles were delicious, my favourite part was the rice sidedish. I had grilled salmon with rice, served with seaweed, and Michael got salmon roe which were salmon eggs, under a bed of scrambled chicken eggs, served on rice.

Ikura Salmon Roe on Rice

I don't know what they did to the rice but it tasted it  fantastic. It had a seaweed taste to it with  some sesame hint to it. Michael said his chicken eggs had the tomago sweetened flavour, paired with the moisture from the salmon roe, it really went well with the rice. As for myself, the salmon was nice and flaky it wasn't dry at all. I could just gobble up my bowl again if I could.

Overall the experience was really good I wouldn't mind coming back here with Michael  to eat our combo again. Maybe we'll make new friends with the table next to us next time as well.

Richmond Night Market

Summer's nearly there and whats there to do in Richmond? We head to the Richmond Night Market at 8351 River Road. I personally don't like going to the night market because of the crowds of people and the cheap, often fake items being sold. It's a big market laid out with different tents selling clothes, electronics, to various different kinds of food and drinks. Michael loves going to the night market to walk around and  "shop," not really for me. But I have to admit the food at the night market is really good. This was my first time actually putting time and thinking about what I wanted to get. Michael and I really stuffed our faces today.


First stop. Michael and I shared the Takoyaki for $5 which are six fried octopus balls served with  mayonnaise and terriyaki sauce. It was super hot but we still stuffed our faces with it.  Michael and I thought it was nearly as good as restaurant quality, with decent chunks of octopus in there, so its good to know we didn't get ripped off.


Second stop was more for me. I have always wanted to try Rotato and have seen all my friends on Facebook rave about it, so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I finally got to try it for $4 and chose the cheddar cheese flavour. It tasted fantastic! Potato goodness spiraling down a stick, crispy, thin, cheesy, just awesomeness. Michael tried some but I didn't ask him to try some more. It was just too good to share, I just wanted all that yumminess to myself.


To wash all potato goodness down I got a regular sized lime flavored lemonade for $4. It was so refreshing to wash all that salty food off my taste palette, what a thirst quencher.



After Michael and I went for skewers. We got bacon wrapped sausage, garlic chicken, and rib eye for $6.75. I had the bacon wrapped sausage with all the  fatty goodness. What could possible go wrong when something is paired with bacon? Life is good. Michael had the rib eye and chicken, he thought the chicken wasn't as good, it didn't taste like the Japanese barbeque style and the meat tasted a little tough. But the rib eye was just juicy with every bite. Nomnomnom!


Michael was then attracted to a seafood stall called Seafood Kingdom, who were doing promotion for their seafood products. Abalone is considered a Chinese delicacy and can cost a lot, even hundreds of dollars for the larger of the shellfish. But these guys, they served a good size for only $6, where if we got it in a restaurant with the trimmings, it might have cost $20. Michael thought the taste was rich in the oyster sauce that came with it. The shellfish tasted very fresh, they even showed us the shell where they took the abalone out of.


Michael also got the half lobster for $5.95 that was also being promoted by these guys. It didn't taste as good as the abalone. But it was a full half lobster motoyaki, shell and everything with decent chunks of meat. Definitely a bargain.


After it was my turn for some goodies. I got a cheese sausage for $3. Cheese inside a sausage. What more can I say? There wasn't enough cheese though, but other then that the sausage was very juicy.


For dessert we got Michael and I shared deep fried vanilla ice cream for $4.75. It tasted interesting, the batter outside the ice cream, the whole concept was just unreal to me when I saw the people putting the ice cream in the fryer. Unreal. It tasted not bad in the end though, the vanilla went really well with the batter.


Second dessert, was a churro for $4, I have never had a churro in my life but I have heard many good things about it. Since I saw it today I thought I'd give it a try. Call me crazy, maybe it's just me and that I didn't get a churro at a good place, but I thought the taste was very bland and heavy. Not a good feeling. There wasn't too much taste to it. I am open to trying other churros though, my thoughts of it has not been tainted. So bring it!
