The Gray Olive Cafeteria Brunch Pulled Pork Benny

The Gray Olive Cafeteria, Best Brunch Burnaby

July 23, 2019

This plate of beautifully presented pulled pork benny is plate-licking good. Everything on this dish is delightful. The hash brown is the best I have ever had. It's fresh out of the fryer. The crunchy exterior that is not too hard to cut my mouth. The interior is so soft that it almost melts in your mouth. It is also perfectly seasoned. I already said the hashbrowns are the best I've had, but this pulled pork benny is also the best I've had. Seriously, I took a bite and can not stop myself from eating it. The pulled pork, coleslaw, and hollandaise sauce are in perfect harmony. Using cornbread as the base is genius. The cornbread crumbles to the touch, not lingering like English muffins. This takes away the frustrating part of eating benny away for me. The bottom is brown with a slight crisp. The texture variation makes this more enjoyable. The two eggs on top are perfectly poached.

Moii Cafe, Japanese Crepe

July 21, 2019

Just a sneak peak of what's inside. Whenever there's chicken, we can see a lump from the outside. Cheese has been fully melted. Chicken can be a bit dry. Moii Cafe has changed its serving plate from porcelain to composite wood. Although the wooden plate is flat, I think this is a good business decision. The hot crepe naturally sticks to the bottom. Their knife is not super sharp. I guess the porcelain plate and knife created too much squeaking sound. This shows the store manager paid attention to finer details in the store.

Passion8 Dessert Cafe Chocolate Bingsoo Mr Choco Brown

Passion8 Dessert Cafe, Cute Bingsoo

July 16, 2019

Passion8 Dessert Cafe makes really well presented bingsoo. This is Mr. Choco Brown, basically chocolate bingsoo. There is a scoop of chocolate ice cream with a small piece of pastry as its hat. Also, there's two small oreo cookie act as the ears, and a small M&M as the nose. The bingsoo is served in tin can, which is an interesting choice. Unfortunately the outside the bowl is covered with chocolate syrup. It's not very pleasant to touch. Their most famous dish is their Real Tiramisu bingsoo.

These are straw-shaped bingsoo, unlike the usual granule powders bingsoo. Black Milk Water use elliptical plate instead of round bowl to highlight the mound of bingsoo. This is very good thoughts and presentation...

Starbucks’s New Iced Honeycomb Lavender Latte

I'm happy to see Starbucks focus the new flavor hype on the few keywords, Canadaian, and Natural honeycomb. These are something Vancouverite are into. However, I did not.....
