The One - The Delicous Relationship

Amongst the Chinese set meal this restaurant probably has the largest of all.
However I believe the signature is at the drinks where different types of tea is the main point of the beverages.

As a tea lover myself I really enjoy the wide variety of tea choices I can get.
and they come in cold and hot both with fair of portion. They are not your usual tea powders visible tea leafs can be found in the beverage.

As of food pepper salted chicken fried rice is probably the best. However the portion is unreal, a fully grown man like myself I'm not able to finish the meal at all. I believe 1/3 of the meal will be left over.

Sushi Elephant - High end of your Japanese Cuisine

The restaurant is located at the intersection of Coquitlam North Road and Lougheed HWY

The decor of the restaurant is very interesting the colour of choice is colour so call Tiffany Blue. With the fusion style integrated in the menu, the ingredient of the food is just simply outstanding. However I didn't visit the restaurant in a big group, so wasn't able to cover a wide range of variety of the store has to offer.

Due to budget constraint I order a ordinary Sushi Lunch Box with Volcano Roll. I would suggest that not to order the Sushi Lunch Box, since that's not really what the restaurant is going for. However the Volcano Roll was very rich in flavour, however it can get a bit overwhelming if nothing else is consume along with it.

Overall I believe this place is more fit for foodie who would care less about the pricing. However according to my friend this place is not on the expensive side.
