🐟 West Coast Salmon Burger

Absolutely phenomenal - all the poutines are unique in flavours, especially the Night Market & the “Gaucho” Cowboy ~ the former has great tastes of “East meets West” with kimchi & ginger beef with spicy mayo & fries 🤩🤯, it’s a mind blowing tasty experience! ❤️

This “Gaucho” Cowboy poutine is also so rich in flavour with chimichurri sauce & roasted garlic mayo on their Argentinian beef & pork chorizo on a bed of poutine 😍🤩 ~ so bold & flavourful & saucy & meaty! 🙌🥩

🍔 And the burgers? Equally unforgettable! Each one is stacked high, juicy, and absolutely bursting with bold flavours. The Effin’ Good Burger totally lives up to its name – think ultra-satisfying layers of savoury, melty, crispy goodness with every bite 🔥🤤

New Store Alert! ‼️ Next to Aberdeen Centre Station in Richmond, you can easily find @zenbuaburi135 that brings you to the next level of aburi sushi tasting experience that you will never forget! 🤩🇯🇵

We tried this Aburi Platter (33 pieces) including all kinds of Oshi: 🍣Crispy Salmon, 🥑Avocado, 🐟Hamachi, 🦪Hotate, 🐠Sockeye Salmon, 🌊Unagi Eel, ⚓️Havana and more!

The torching sensation was delicious! 🤤 I was most satisfied with the classic aburi of sockeye salmon & the crispy version of the Havana Oshi - both just simply melts in your mouth in creaminess 🤩!

They also have Inari like Bulgogi beef & Kimchi toppings! One is quite massive and the combination of tofu skin & savoury toppings with rice are the perfect bites 🙌🍣🍱.

🍤Which aburi would you try for your visit!? Let me know! 🤗

We got to try this VIRAL special “Fried Chicken” Gelato at @tuttobellegelato by Kitsilano ~ comes in TWO flavours to choose from ~ Banana Milk or Pink Guava Sorbet 🥰🤩!

I really enjoyed the Pink Guava Sorbet with cornflake coating - refreshing & fruity inside & super crunchy outside! 🤤🍨 Each “fried chicken” comes with this cute bottle of strawberry sauce - it truly adds the extra sweetness on the crunch and made it even better & summer-y! 🍓 

Come have a treat as summer is getting started in Vancouver! ☀️🌞🌻⛱️

First time trying out 茶園 @chayuanvancouver! 🤗 It’s a hot sunny day, so you knooooow I had to cool down with a refreshing milk tea and lemon tea 😎🧋☀️ Love that they use real ingredients and skip the milk powders — so good! 🙌💛

We tried:
🥑 Rose Tie Guan Yin Latte w/ Avocado Cheese Foam
🍋 Lemon Lychee Shaken Tea
🍳 Bacon & Cheese Bubble Waffle

Their unique Avocado Cheese Foam was creamy with a subtle avocado taste - nice topping added to the silky tea latte! 🙌 And I can taste their natural form in the lemon lychee shaken tea ~ it’s citrus-y and zesty 😛🍋!

They’ve also got an awesome selection of bubble waffles! 🧇 We had the bacon & cheese one — and it was super nice & savory and totally hit the spot! 😋🔥

We tried:

🦑 Fried Squid Tentacles
🍇 Grape Juice (Bbong Bbong)

Those Yangnyeom Wings? 🍗  Sweet, spicy, crispy perfection covered fully with sauce! 🤩 Juicy & tender inside & great size & definitely finger licking good! 

Their amazing deep fried squid tentacles are one of the best sellers when it comes to appetizers - perfect crunch with mayo dip! 🤩

This big Budae Jeongol Hot Pot has all kinds of delicious ingredients being piping hot while bubbling 😍 ~ you can find spam, kimchi, sausages, ramen & cheese, & rice cake inside and the combination of them all is just the perfect marriage of food! ❤️😍🍲🥘 The spicy soup base is addicting & so good pairing with their purple rice! 🍚 This is the true taste of Korea 😍🍜🇰🇷

Chef Andy’s Fish Tikka was another standout here and you MUST try — perfectly cooked, flakey fish infused with spicy yogurt mixture & tandoori flavours 🤩. Each bite was juicy, spiced just right, and packed with flavour! 😍

We tried:
🥗 Carpe Salad
🍔 Carpe Special Burger
🍟 Loaded Poutine

The Carpe Special Burger is a total flavour greatness — stacked with a juicy smash patty, PLUS chicken (yes for double meat!), melty cheese, and their signature carpe sauce that ties it all together like a dream! 🍔🔥 Each bite = total burger bliss!

Let’s talk about their Loaded Poutine... WOW. Nice potato wedges smothered in rich, savoury cheese sauce & cheese curds - this reminded me of a hot cup of chilli on potatoes! 😍 It’s comforting, messy (in the best way), and absolutely OK to share (or not... we won’t judge) 🍟🧀!

And if you’re going on a TUESDAY, don’t miss their wing deal — just 69 cents EACH! (10 pc min.) We devoured the Honey Garlic Wings — sticky & sweet goodness with crispy skin and tender meat inside. Wings lovers, you’re gonna be OBSESSED!! 🍯🧄🔥

We tried:

🧋 Premium Peach Oolong Coconut Milk Tea
🥑 Avo Mango Smoothie
🍉 Watermelon Slush w/ Coco Cheezo

☀️ NEW summer drink - you MUST try out their Watermelon Slush w/ Coco Cheezo - I’m totally obsessed with their coconut cheezo foam topping: creamy & rich & smooth with that perfect coconut flavour 🥥, and blends so well with a slushy watermelon drink! 🤤🍉

Look at that MEGA size! 🤩 We can supersize certain selection of drinks to enjoy - we sure did for their fresh mango coconut drink 🥭 - it was refreshing with real mango, plus puddings & coconut milk that combines to the perfect summer flavour 😍🙌!

Their avo mango smoothie also has an addicting coconut flavour along with the freshness of avocado & mango! 🥭 🥑 I would highly recommend this if you like the natural fruity sweetness & having a more filling drink! 😀

I’m back at @potoyogurt for some healthy fruit bowls and drinks! 🤩🙌🥑 If you love avocado (and other fruity smoothies) this is your go-to place in Richmond! 😉

We tried:
🥭 500 ml Yogurt Fruit Bowl (toppings include hawthorn, granola bits, dried banana & popping boba) 流心酸奶水果碗
🍓 Strawberry Avocado Yogurt Smoothie草莓牛油果酸奶奶昔
🥛 Hawthorn Yogurt Smoothie 山楂酸奶奶昔

I really enjoyed the original yogurt flavour with all the toppings & fruit pieces inside this Yogurt Fruit Bowl 🥣 🥭🍓! It has different crunchy textures from the toppings & that natural yogurt sourness & it’s definitely a healthy option! 🥰

I fell in love with their WHOLE avocado smoothies 🥑 before & this time trying their Hawthorn smoothie for the first time - this drink is calling ALL hawthorn lovers! 🥰🤩 The distinct flavour blends well in the yogurt smoothie form with that tartness - it’s not for everyone but I loved it, it’s not an ordinary drink that you can easily find in other drink/bubble tea places😍!

Thank you @potoyogurt for the healthy delicious drinks and fruit bowl! 🤤🥑🍓[#media]

Transformed from @grandma_liuhot to @jojo_pot_ ~ same concept of picking your own ingredients & choosing your soup base, BUT with a new face & mascot! 🤩🤗🧸 Look how cute Jojo is! 🥰

We tried: 
🦞 Lobster Bisque
🥘 Jojo Pot Soup 
☕️ JOJO Bubble Coffee
🧋 Grass Jelly Milk Tea
☁️ Cloud Milk Tea

What sets them apart from other hot pot pay-by-weight places are their complimentary shaved ice dessert after your meal 🥘🍧, as well as their different soup base varies from kimchi cheese, lobster bisque, to miso and spicy malatang 🌶️!

I tried their Lobster Bisque PLUS the lobster (extra $3.99 to the pay-by-weight amount) 🦞~ the soup flavour was a bit light for my liking, but the ingredients prepared are delicious with their quality beef, seafood & more. 🥩 

I also enjoyed their different kinds of drinks from milk tea to lemonade, and the cute photo worthy shaved ice at the end 😉🍧! 

Thank you @jojo_pot_ for the tasty pots with drinks & shaved ice! 🍧🍲 [#media]

Did you know - there is a @chaiiwalaca from London UK, in the heart of New Westminster? Amazing great varieties of chai options plus all kinds of bowls and sandwiches with the Indian flavours! You must check it out! 🤩🇮🇳

We tried:
☕️ Pink Chai
🍞 Savory French Toast
🍛 Butter Chicken Bombay Bowl
🌯 Chicken Tikka Wala Wrap

I’ve been a huge fan of their pink Chai! 💕 Nice & smooth creamy chai flavour with a touch of vanilla sweetness and you can also optionally add nuts to give it a little nutty taste! 🌰

When it comes to food, this bowl of butter chicken was definitely satisfying with an Indian spicy kick 🤪, with basmati rice & chickpeas & their traditional slaw - delicious! 🤤 

The pleasant surprise to my tastebuds came from their savory French toast! 😍 Classic & eggy bread with a taste of spicy masala as the twist - phenomenal! ❤️

😉 The best part? Their New West location opens till late until 11pm at night! You can easily grab your best chai after a late dinner 😉☕️ !

Thank you @chaiiwalaca & @foodswipe.ca for the delicious light meal and comfort chai drinks & invite! [#media]
