Baguettes around the corner
I thought I wasn’t in Vancouver when I was sitting inside this nice, French-style cafe – Finch’s Tea & Coffee House. People said that the baguette here is a must-try in Vancouver, and I have to agree with them. There are so many different kinds of baguettes that will make you wanna go back again [...]
Had your Guinness today?
Irish Heather – Where the green and and Guinness meet. And awesome yam fries.
New found Chocolate Paradise in Mt. Pleasant
Just before we entered Liberty Bakery on Main st., our eyes were drawn to a lovely painted shop across the street. It’s a Chocolatier! The shop is small and simple: there are only a counter on one side displaying all the chocolates and a kitchen behind it. The wall besides the counter is a blackboard [...]
Six Acres
Love their food and down-to-earth atmosphere, and their menus that are all bound in different vintage book covers. Brilliant! ＊ Six Acres: sixacres.ca
I Love Freebies~
這…不是在打廣告, 只是在雜誌社工作的好處之一就是商家常送來的 freebies! 對我這種廉價實習生來說, 這算是小小補償吧。 Happy Planet 是 Vancouver 當地的飲料業者, 專門製造所謂的有機果汁。最近他們要推出的 “Shots”, 有點像是台灣 7-11 裡常看到的補給飲品, 也是同樣地小巧可愛。四種不同口味: Immunity, Detox, Glow, & Energy + 我都喝過了, 雖不怎麼好喝也不知有沒有效果, 倒是很愛他們的包裝設計, 還有用鐵盒將四瓶裝在一起賣的質感。聽說一瓶賣 $2.99, 會不會賣我真有點好奇。 ＊ 一定要參觀他們的網站, 裡面有我最愛的小兔子出現: http://www.happyplanetshots.com/ (Turn on your speakers.)
The Cascade Room
The Cascade Room – my new find on Main St. Well…not exactly my find, but the first one I visited on my “to-visit” list. It’s kind of a side benefit from my current job now (wink*). The decor is not the best I’ve seen, but I love their French-style accent wall with overlapping wallpapers and [...]
Small Space, Big Comfort
If you want a quick lunch that can give you comfort at the same time (no rush junkie), Chef Claire’s on Main St. is the place you should visit. The store has a bit of European touch. Small, but cozy. ＊ Cher Claire’s: http://www.chefclaires.com/
