Bubble World - Not just your everyday bubble tea

Located in many places mainly Richmond and Burnaby has the best tasting of the food. Bubble World, probably one of the best taste simple meal in Vancouver (Food wise only)

But honestly I haven't investigate much in the Richmond area so who knows :D
my personal favourite from this restaurant would be Scrambled Egg with Chicken on Rice, most of the deep fried meals are pretty good :D

Red Robin - Gourmet Burger Hidden Within

I believe you all are not stranger to this chain restaurant.
with the average decor and dim lighting, probably one of the best place for couples to hang out.

However in this restaurant they offer a wide variety of burger. however personal favourite would be the Whiskey River BBQ Burger..it had me at cripsy onion straws (drools)

The burger would be one of the top burgers I have had in Vancouver!

Jack in the box - What is in the box

We took a trip to visit the Seattle Premium Outlet on this particular sunny morning. After hours and hours of driving we decided to take a stop at Jack in the box.

As a fast food chain I guess there is not much difference from others. But the caramel onion is probably the biggest catch of this restaurant. Even though the burger is no where close to burger specialty shop but it is still very decent.

As my first time visiting the place, as suggested by a friend I order the Sourdough Jack. I quote "Their sourdough bun is so amazing". But I think comes next time I will be ordering the Sirloin Swiss & Grill Onion Burger, as that has the best of both worlds :D

Till next time :P

Little Fat Sheep - Flavourful Hot Pot

After the disaster hot pot attempt at Pearl Hot Pot we decided to come to Richmond to forget about the fail attempt.

What is so special about this hot pot place? The soup base of the hotpot is very flavourful no additional salt is require to make the ingredient taste good. However the menu did change a bit from what I could recall.

It is a AYCE style hotpot so make sure you pack an empty stomach before you charge into the restaurant. The quality of the ingredient are pretty fresh and the soup base just makes it better. No additional sauce is require but still good enough :D

Vera's Burger Shack - Best Burger in Town

After seeking around downtown for a long time searching for the best burger.
I think I've finally arrive at my destination. Vera's Burger Shack after going through many chain restaurants, burger specialty store this one stood out from all of them.

As I walk in the store the smell the of patties and onion just came rushing at me.
as usually I didn't do research on the what is the best burger in the store, so I just ordered what ever that was on sale.

Amazingly it was unbelievably juicy. The thickness of the patties is just the right amount, and I believe they made their own bun too with the grilled onion the portion is just...legen...wait for it...dary! I have no way to bite entire burger with one bite.

Score: 7/10

Fat Burger - How fat is it exactly?

I've always wanted to pay this place a visit, however never got the chance to.
Today I happen to be in the neighborhood and will be heading towards downtown for work afterward, so I decided to give this pay a try.

As I walk into the restaurant the first problem I see. Their display menu gives me a hard time to read. I'm not able to read from a non-disturbing distance (would be very close to customer that is trying to order at the counter)

Since I didn't do any prior research I just went for their signature burger. The Big Fat Meal, which no surprise just consists of burger, drinks and fries. Their dining style is no different than any other fast food chain where you order and pay up front in the beginning. The only difference is that after you pay them they will give you a order-stand (which has a number on it so they will deliver the food to your table). If you happen to give them a decent amount of tip and entire working staff will yell "Fat tip!"

Now on to the quality of the food. Fries and drink are just your everyday normal standard ones, where burger is the point of interest. However it wasn't impressive for a burger specialty store, perhaps I had too much expectation for store like this. As Verna's Burger Shack, Red Robin are significantly better.

Score: 6/10

Nao Sushi - It is Now!

Along Kingsway hidden close to the Edmond McDonald. With the relatively cheap cost you will find your buck worth while here.

Has a variety selection of Japanese dishes, and also many brand new creation of their own. Nao Sushi stand on its own ground will decent amount of customer flow.

Personal favourite would be their Tonkatsu Don. Probably one of the best I found so far. (If you find better please tell me).

Their sushi rolls has many interesting creations, for the brave souls out there go try them all!

Score: 7/10

Pearl Hot Pot - Look to my left! alot better restaurant

Yeah...this place is just horrific and waste of time.
Hot pot is so hard to find a good place to eat at. Because the soup base decides how good the pot is going to be.

Anddddd the soup base is bad. End of story, one can probably whipped up better soup base at home thus if you happen wanting to eat something in the area, please look to the left of the restaurant Pearl House, even though they share the same name but they have different owner and the food is MUUUUUUUCCCCCCHHH better.
