House of Tofu Soup - Korean Comfort Food

The concept is really simple.  A heated stone pot with tofu soup and you pick the main ingredients (mushroom, beef, pork, seafood, or mix), and how spicy you want it.  Nothing tastes better than a bowl of tofu soup + a bowl of rice on a cold winter night.  Not to mention all the different variety of kimchi.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

Nothing tastes better than a hot bowl of Ramen on a cold winter night (burrrr).  This ramen place is actualy part of a Japanese Ramen Chain, and I am so excited now there is a location in Vancouver.  Since this is the Hokkaido variety, you can expect rich fatty flavour in the soup.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramen for more information on the diff varieties of Ramen.[[posterous-content:pid___0]]

One Saigon - Fast Food Vietnamese

This is located near the Scotia Theatre downtown. The food came
really fast but the taste is just average. Wish there is more seafood
in my seafood pho. Oh well, cant complain too much since it is only

The day after the snowfall

Delicias de Alicias - Homemade cuban food

Last night I went back to a hidden gem that I discovered a few months ago: Delicias de Alicias.  The cuban restaurant is a tiny little place with 6 tables, and the food is amazing.  I don't know much about Cuban food, but everything I ate there was delicious. I dont know how they do it, but the fried plantains and fried yucas are so crispy but absolutely not oily.  I have never seen anyone fried anything so perfectly.  Anyways, enjoy the pics.
