Dine-in at Riz Sushi should be next on your list! If you have gotten takeout from Riz Sushi before, you already know how good it is. When you dine in, Chef Ben makes sure the seafood is served at optimal skin temperature. #JoyDiaggi tried a few things on the menu and the King Salmon Oyakodon, without a doubt, was the highlight for me. It uses king salmon from New Zealand and the fish was just gorgeous to look at and it had a great mouthfeel. The 3 oshi sushi were all tasty, but I found the Shichimi Tuna to be the most special and balanced in flavour. Right now, there is also a special Kanpachi Don available and the fish tasted fresh with a hint of sweetness. I really like the seasoning of the rice in the dons. What we tried: 🍣 King Salmon Oyakodon 🍣 Kanpachi Don 🍣 Habanero Salmon Oshi 🍣 Shichimi Tuna Oshi 🍣 Berry Ebi Oshi Riz Sushi operates out of Bao Down in Olympic Village. You can also order takeout pickup or delivery from them. #japanesefood #sushi #donburi #vancouverrestaurant #vanfoodies #foodtiktok #vancouver #foodblogger #vancityfoodie #vancouverfood #oshisushi #sashimi
Would you try Korean soy marinated raw crabs? As part of our Lunar New Year dinner, we had Jinmi soy marinated female roe crabs, soy salmon and spicy octopus. Mama and Papa Lam had soy marinated crabs in Korea when they travelled a few years ago, and they said the flavours are quite similar. Of course, each place uses a different mix of marinate but the essence is there. I thought it would be fishy and slimy but it's actually close to having marinated chopped scallops with a hint of sea and sweetness in flavours. The whole process was hands on and fun, having to squeeze the meat and roe from the crabs onto some rice and seaweed. It's like making your own hand rolls! The soy salmon and spicy octopus were also tasty, especially the spicy marinate of the octopus. It's not cheap to get these marinated female roe crabs from Jinmi but they're imported crabs, plus the price is actually comparable to similar products at local Korean supermarkets. In that case, it's actually not bad at all. Ordering is rather simple. Simply DM them on Instagram with all the details and pick up at Black Rice Izakaya. #koreanfood #vanfoodies #ganjanggejang #간장게장 #게장 #vancouver #supportlocalbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #foodtiktok #crabtok #eating #foodblogger #somethingnew
#asmrvideo Get 50% off for the first shipment of @Atlas Coffee Club ☕: 𝗝𝗢𝗬𝗖𝗘𝟱𝟬𝗔𝗧𝗟𝗔𝗦. I was recently gifted some coffee beans and I'm surprised to learn how affordable it is to join its subscription plan. You have coffee beans shipped directly to you from different regions every month (or every 2 weeks) and the price is no more expensive than local coffee roasters, maybe even slightly cheaper than some. You also get to choose from beans, ground or k-pods, your grind type, as well as roast preference. I have tried for two months now and I must say it's quite convenient. If you want to give it a try, here's the code to #asmrsounds #coffeetiktok #coffeetime #morningcoffee #vanfoodies #foodtiktok #discountcode #vancouver #atlascoffeeclub #coffeepourover #asmrtiktok #foodblogger
3 exclusive items at the new @ZUBU ramen Downtown. This was a comp'd dinner but I would pay for the beef tongue and ramen flight again. Lots of beef tongue pieces and they're tender and flavourful, even the bean sprouts were tasty. The ramen flight gives a good preview of 4 types of ramen and totally fits into my "one of everything" mentality. They're all very good and it was hard to choose a favourite. I was surprised that the chicken ramen won by a tiny tiny margin. We also tried other dishes and I would suggest getting the Assorted Seafood Plate with the Sushi Hand Roll Set for a fuller experience. Those on their own are plenty of food; maybe add a ramen and that would be perfect for 2 people. But make sure to save room for the Aburi Cheesecake because it's a spectacular show at the table but the brulee top and melted cheesecake made it all more fun to eat. #ramen #japanesefood #vancouverrestaurant #newrestaurant #dealalert #noodles #vancouver #vanfoodies #vancouvervlog #foodblogger #eating #foodtiktok #food
I was so full after this $49 Dine Out Vancouver dinner. My girlfriends and I went to Alouette to celebrate a birthday. The menu has some solid options for appetizers and entrees. I ordered Beef Tartare and Cassoulet for myself but I also sampled the Sablefish Croquette, Bourguignon, and Pate au Gratinee. I perhaps found the cassoulet to be a bit too salty for my liking but everything else was tasty and the portion size was big! There was an abundance of croquettes and the bourguignon wasn't quite what I expected -- it was more like steak slices than braised beef short rib. You can't go wrong with any of the 5 dishes I tried that evening. There's no option for dessert but the Chocolate Delice was decadent and I liked the texture added by the crispy cake bottom and the caramel popcorn. In terms of value for my money I think this is a solid menu to go for Dine Out. #dineoutvancouver #dovf #vancouverrestaurant #dineout #vanfoodies #vancouver #downtownvancouver #foodblogger #dinnertime #foodtiktok #food #vancouvervlog #frenchfood
Mr. spent a day in Bellevue and he stopped by the Lady M pop-up at Bellevue Square to bring me cakes 🍰🥰 He bought a slice of matcha crepe cake and a slice of chocolate crepe cake. The crepes were soooo thin and the cream was delicious! The chocolate cream was rich and decadent, and the matcha flavour was prominent without being too overpowering. They're USD$10 per slice but if I were in the area I would get it again. #ladymcakes #crepecake #cake #foodtiktok #thisisadream #vanfoodies #bellevuesquare #bellevue #popup #vancouvervlog #vancouver #couplegoals #foodblogger
I took my boss to The Pie Hole for their Hot Chocolate Festival creations. Until January 31, they have two flavours available, then they will replace Fat Elvis with another flavour. Each hot chocolate is accompanied by a miniature 3" pie. Because I'm not a huge fan of banana flavoured things, I ordered the "DDD" Raspberry Cream. It's a bit too sweet for my liking, given it's white chocolate based, but I do like the raspberry cream crumble pie. In fact, the Raspberry Cream Crumble pie is their best seller and was previously featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on Food Network. My boss went for the Fat Elvis, and she said it's delicious and not too sweet with it being a dark chocolate based drink. Each pairing is $9. #hotchocolatefest #hotchocolate #pie #burnaby #vancouver #food #vancouverrestaurant #vanfoodies #foodtiktok #sweettooth #dinersdriveinsanddives #pbandbanana
I found my new favourite cocktail recipe to make at home! 2oz whiskey (we used Jameson Caskmates Stout edition) 1oz lemon juice 3/4oz maple syrup 1/2oz red wine (we used Inniskillin Okanagan Estate Pinot Noir 2021 VQA) Instructions Add the whiskey, lemon juice and maple syrup into a shaker with ice. Shake until well-chilled (15-20 seconds), then strain into a rocks glass over ice. Gently pour red wine over the back of a spoon so the wine floats on the top. The original recipe calls for rye whiskey or bourbon but we only had the one bottle of whiskey so we compensated with maple syrup instead of simple syrup. The end result was still a balanced cocktail with a smokey, sweet and sour note that reminded me of sour plum. New York Sour usually uses a dry fruity red like a Malbec, Shiraz or Zinfandel, but this particular Inniskillin Pinot Noir worked quite well for this recipe. #cocktail #recipe #foodblogger #vancouver #vanfoodies #newyorksour #shakennotstirred #cocktailtiktok #foodtiktok #food
The two hot chocolate creations at Kafka's Coffee are quite fun. One has a cookie "pizza" slice filled with candies and snacks. Another looks and tastes like a bubble tea drink with hojicha and pearls. With Kafka's 3 locations, I'm the most fond of The Park location on Richards Street. The live edge tables were gorgeous, along with the installations in the ceiling. Here are the two hot chocolate flavours in detail. Will you try any of these? The Ultimate ‘Kids’ Hot Chocolate Creamy milk chocolate topped with all the fixings: whipped cream, sprinkles, and mini marshmallows. Served with a ‘pizza’ slice covered in classic candies. Boba Boom Choco-Latta Warm 40% milk chocolate with hojicha milk tea and tapioca pearls. Served with a black sesame chocolate truffle. #hotchocolatefest #hotchocolate #downtownvancouver #vancouver #vancouvercafe #vanfoodies #foodtiktok #food #chocolatelover #foodblogger #eating
🥥🥛🍮Milko is a new dessert shop in Richmond. They specialize in coconut milk pudding and the texture is velvety. They use fresh ingredients in their pudding such as mango and strawberries. I love that they use glass jars to reduce disposable containers, and they have a recycling program that saves you $1 if you return the washed jar with lid. I tried Mango Coconut Milk Pudding and Oreo Mochi Coconut Milk Pudding. As a mango fan, I wish there were a few more pieces of mango but there's quite a bit of sauce to polish the jar. Between the two, Oreo Mochi was my favourite because I liked the mix of texture between the crunchy crumbled Oreo cookies, gooey soft mochi and velvety coconut milk pudding. If you are a fan of coconut milk or anything coconut, you should check them out! #coconutmilk #pudding #foodtiktok #richmondbc #vancouverrestaurant #vanfoodies #foodblogger #restaurantguide #desserttiktok #localguide #vancouver #food #dessert
I recommend checking out Honolulu Coffee for their hot chocolate creations! Which one would you try? You've seen the cute Raincouver cotton candy cloud hot chocolate at Honolulu but my favourite was The Donut. The tartness in the raspberry icing of the chocolate cake felt more balanced overall as a pairing.👌 The cotton candy was fun to eat, though. We tried dipping it into the hot chocolate but of course, it dissolved into nothing 😂 Honolulu has 3 locations and I heard the False Creek location is relatively quieter. Bring a buddy so one can secure a table while the other orders! Remember, Raincouver is only available starting on Jan 20. #hotchocolatefest #hotchocolate #vancouver #vancouvercafe #vancouverrestaurant #restaurantguide #localguide #vanfoodies #foodblogger #wheretoeat #foodtiktok #yvrfoodie #chocolatetiktok #vancouvervlog
Greater Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival is back and I was so excited about the opportunity to try these creations. There's seriously something for everyone. If you are looking for a healthier option, Super Veloce offers two sugar-free, gluten-free options. The two flavours at Giovane are more the classics, cinnamon and cherry. If you feel adventurous, I recommend going to Motoretta for their unique savoury+sweet combination. I did taste all 6 flavours. If I had to pick a favourite from each location, I'd say Miura SV from Super Veloce, Amarena Calda from Giovane, and Bel Paese from Motoretta. But really, it all depends on what kind of flavours you like. #hotchocolatefest #hotchocolate #vancouver #vancouverrestaurant #restaurantguide #localguide #vanfoodies #foodtiktok #chocolatelover #hotcocoa #vancouvervlog #foodblogger #yvrfoodie

I always love dumplings. Momo is a popular street food in Nepal and India, and I don't eat them often nor do I see them at a lot of restaurants here. Momo Factory just opened a new downtown Vancouver location. I ordered Steamed Goat Momo and I really liked the seasoning especially the use of cumin. The Fried Shrimp Momo had an interesting crunch on the outside. Any momo order would give you two standard sauces - tomato sauce and hot sauce - for dipping, but we also ordered the Butter Sauce on the side just to spice things up. Old Chicken is a funny name and its other name Chicken 65 is even more intriguing. It turns out to be a dish originally invented in 1965, hence the name. It was still crispy when it arrived at our table even though it's tossed in the sauce. The Classic Chow Mein is not the typical HK cafe noodles, and I did enjoy the heat and acidity in the sauce. We ordered both at medium spice level and depending on how spicy you can take it, you may feel a bit of tingle on your tongue. There's so much on the menu and they're priced very reasonably. Lunch combo is only $15.99. If you're in the area, you should go check them out! #momo #dumplings #foodtiktok #newrestaurant #hiddengem #nepalesefood #vanfoodies #restaurantguide #localguide #vancouver #weamaze #downtownvancouver #foodblogger #asianfood
Pause n' Sip opened at Aberdeen Square in Richmond less than two months ago and it's conveniently located facing the street and the SkyTrain station. I tried 3 of their signature drinks. If you are a coconut fan, you will love Blue Jelly Coconut Milk. And it's quite fun that it glows when you shine a light at it 🤩 Lychee Fruit Tea has a pink hue to it thanks to the use of pink dragon fruit. There's also lychee meat and jelly boba (aka white pearls aka 寒天) so there's lot of different texture. I always order the classic milk tea at every new BBT shop as a benchmark and this one was good. Simple ceylon black tea with pearls and grass jelly. I ordered 50% sugar and 30% ice and it's just right for me. #bubbletea #boba #bobalove #richmondbc #vancouver #glowinthedark #trendingsound #vanfoodies #restaurantguide #localguide #foodblogger #foodtiktok #bubbleteatiktok
