Todak Todak Korean Cuisine is the Best Korean Fried Chicken in Vancouver East Half & Half Chicken

Todak Todak Korean Cuisine, The Best Korean Fried Chicken in Vancouver East

October 2, 2019 0

Todak Todak Korean Cuisine is a fried chicken focused Korean restaurant. They also serve deep-fried pork cutlet on rice among other sides. Currently, they do not serve liquor, but I have faith in them getting it eventually. I really enjoyed their fried chicken for their flavour, crispy batter, and juicy meat. However, I think they may have put too much baking soda in the batter. For $25 per person, it is a little pricey. I would bring more friends to keep the cost down. They also have cheese flavoured boneless fried chicken, which is something I am coming back to try.

Kikyouya Shingen Candy with Mochi Filling Candy

Kikyou Shingen Mochi Candy 桔梗信玄餅アイスバー

October 1, 2019 0

Yes, Kikyouya Shingen is popular in Japan, and the Kikyouya Shingen Mochi Popsicle tastes very good as well. However, the candy version did not live up to my expectations. The most essential part is the mochi, but the texture was ruined in exchange for shelf-life longevity. The package cost $2.99 for 16 candies, which is a convenient way for the taste of Kikyouya Shingen. That's about the only value I see in these candies. I don't really recommend them.

Dim Sum at Lee Garden Seafood Restaurant in Burnaby

September 30, 2019 0

Lee Garden Seafood Restaurant is one of the more notable Cantonese seafood restaurants in Burnaby. Their biggest advantage is their large interior space able to accommodate many guests. It would be better for them to have a proper entrance and a larger parking space that is not shared with other restaurants. For $25 per person, they are quite expensive. The food tastes above average, but I did feel a little thirsty afterward. The best part of this restaurant is the superb service from one of the female managers. I would recommend this restaurant if they can replace the ragged tablecloth.

My burger was tightly wrapped in paper which caused the un-wrapped portion to open up and look extremely hard to bite. The beef felt weighty and was very satisfying to bite into. Onion and pickle provided the crispy texture. I really enjoyed this burger, but with a little bit of guilt as I see oil dripping off the wrapping. The entire burger held together quite nicely. Not much mess was made from inhaling this burger.

Korean BBQ among Chinese community Kook BBQ sides

Kook Korean BBQ Restaurant in Vancouver East

September 28, 2019 0

Kook Korean BBQ Restaurant is one of the newer Korean BBQ places in Vancouver. Their strength is the premium ingredient quality and the service provided. It is not a down to earth restaurant like Wang Ga Ma in Coquitlam and the $33 per person price point definitely includes the cost of their decoration. I would recommend this place if the portion is larger. On my restaurant list, it is being categorized as a premium Korean restaurant in Vancouver East.

My Frosty, Korean Dessert Cafe

September 27, 2019 0

My Frosty's bingsoo has very high quality in terms of flavour and insulation of the shaved ice. A lot of the other bingsoo I have tried elsewhere have the ice melting as soon as it's made. My Frosty's shaved ice retained its form. It took me 12 minutes to finish my bingsoo, and the shaved ice remained reasonable flakiness until the end. A large bingsoo cost $14, and I would recommend this to everyone. Just make sure you don't come here when they're busy.

Tamaki Gold California Koshihikari Short Grain Rice

September 26, 2019 0

This bowl of rice looks very cute when served. It has consistent texture that is sticky but not too much. The rice grain were whole and unbroken even after stirring and scooping. Chewing on the rice gave me a satisfying feeling. It is moist without being soggy. The grains are sticky but each grain can be separated without much effort. It has good aroma, and the starch gave it a mild sweetness.

Maiko Premium Matcha Café in Richmond Matcha Parfait

Maiko Japanese Matcha Café in Richmond

September 25, 2019 0

I was very excited to see another premium matcha themed Japanese dessert franchise opening up in metro Vancouver. The quality and pricing are both standing in the mid range of the parfait places we have tried. Loopy soft-served ice cream is a sign of poor quality for me. Poorly layered parfait and filler toppings also forced them down the ranking ladder. The parfait here is $13.50 after tax, which is on part to Tsujiri's $14 parfait with much higher quality topping. The parfait here is still a good dessert. It's just not worth it when compared with other Japanese matcha dessert locations.

Chef Liu Kitchen Taiwanese beef noodle in Richmond

September 24, 2019 0

Chef Liu Kitchen is a nice little stand in the food court. The cost of their food at $13 per person is considered average in 2019. They have certainly got the taste aspect down, but the food lack the finer details. This restaurant is perfect for customers not in pursue for superb food. Everything here is good, but not extraordinary. It's "good enough" if you're not picky.
