I was first introduced to this place by my fiance's foodie sister. I believe she came across Fraser Park Restaurant on the popular food network show: You Gotta Eat Here.

Located in a super industrial area of Burnaby, where their neighbours are literally major brand HQ's contractors and warehouses. If it weren't for their green banner, would definitely call this place a (literal) hidden gem.

Casa Verde Restaurant - a total hidden gem

Rarely do I ever make it out to the Commercial-area unless its to pass by it on my regular sky-train route to down town but last week during a work expedition, we ended up in the area and discovered a total hidden gem!

Casa Verde Restaurant is a family run Portuguese restaurant with friendly staff and delicious foods. Their dishes are very well priced with great flavours. They also have a solid 88% feedback on Urban Spoon.

$19.99 meal deal at Sushi Wind using Dealuse

This is totally a first world problem but sometimes we just don't know what to eat... A habit I've picked up lately to counter that problem is to look at deal sites and see what's near us. It gives a good excuse to try out new places we'd other wise never know about, and sometimes the deals are super cheap and I love cheap eats.

This time, I turned to Dealuse.com .

Unlike Groupon or Social Shopper, the major drawback of Dealuse is that everything is entirely in Chinese... Loosely translated, the deal is for a $19.99 Japanese meal deal for two at Sushi Wind with a supposed original value of $45.

Appy Hour at the Flying Pig Gastown

Working in Vancouver down town means always being surrounded by great restaurants. Though we often do end up skipping lunch at the office, when lunch does happen, it's always delicious.

This time we decided to visit the Flying Pig again. The food and service is always great and on point, however this time we had quite an interesting experience (the bad kind) with the hostess. Although the overall visit was good, it would have been much better if the hostess wasn't so strict and uptight.

Fisherman's Catch at the Fish Shack

We decided to try out the Fisherman's Catch at the Fish Shack by the Glowbal group last Friday. I love seafood, and would recommend for those that are a fan of seafood boils to definitely give them a visit!
