Good food is meant to be shared.

My Wonton Mein Saga – The New Hon’s at Olympic Village

Warm Nostalgia
Fond memories but that’s all
A poor bowl at Hon’s

Just Wow! – Ramen Taka

New Ramen Taka
Different but Delicious
Beware the Hot Soup

The Meh Files – The Ramenman Davie Location

Ramenman Davie
Not like the original
Really just lacking

Stem Japanese Eatery – Just Wow!

Stem, how will you grow?
My bet, into a upscale
Great Izakaya

Nostalgia • Lament I really wanted the feel good story of the new Hon’s in the Olympic Village to have a happy ending. Was very hopeful when I saw the compact menu, but the flavour and quality isn’t there. An old school pork wonton noodle bowl that’s bland and not well executed. #newblogpost #linkinthebio #wontons #nostalgia #vancouvereats #noodlesoup
Frequency Illusion • Coffee Jelly Also known as the Baader Meinhof Experience, when you become aware of something and all of a suddenly it shows up everywhere in your life. For me now, that’s Japanese Coffee Jelly. Became aware of it, thanks to @eatyourkimchi and now I seem to see it around more even at Ramen Shops. This is Ramen Taka’s version; whipped cream, a sweet yogurt and coffee jelly. It’s refreshing - perfect for summer. The yogurt was sweeter than the whipped cream which wasn’t that sweet. I think they use brewed coffee and not instant. Satisfied my curiosity. #coffeejelly #dessert #summertreat #vancouverfood
Meaty Ravioli • Nostalgia & Food Highlight of my dinner at Pepino’s, was Nick’s Ravioli. Hearty, rich, and an umami bomb due to all the meat - the stuffed pasta dish was delicious. Overall, Pepino’s draws you in with its old school charm (it’s like time stop in the 70s). The place gives you all the warms and coziness nostalgia can dish out. However once that wears off, the food will make you happy and want to return. #italianfood #ravioli #vancouverfood #oldschool
Beyond vs Impossible • Veg Burger After trying the Impossible Burger in Chicago (see previous post), I was curious about the Beyond Burger at A&W. The Beyond burger would fool people - it has the right texture (meat bounce) and flavour. Is it better than the Impossible Burger? No. The Beyond Burger doesn’t have a hearty meat flavour. The Beyond patty taste is overwhelmed by the burger garnishes. The Impossible Burger is very hearty and can even stand up to American cheese. However both burgers are huge improvements on veggie burgers. If you’re in the US, seek out the Impossible burger and do a taste test for yourself. #beyondburger #veggieburger #fakemeat #vancouverfoodie
