NanChuu is a located on Alexandra Road and it is easy it miss it if you're just driving by! It's a small restaurant and there's not a lot of space. We were seated relatively quick as we were eating later.

G-Men / Ramen Izakaya @ NanChuu 南廚
After a long walk around Richmond and late into the evening, we were hungry and decided to check out NanChuu. I've been to G-Men before and remembering the ramen being very good. When it closed, I was a bit sad. It was just recently that I found out that they have re-opened and merged with the tiny izakaya, NanChuu.

Ceilis Irish Pub and Restaurant - Richmond
It's been a while since we posted! Been quite busy with work and haven't gotten around to writing much posts! Hopefully we can catch up on some of the back log we have :D
When driving down Westminister Hwy in Richmond, we drove past a Ceili's Irish Pub & Restaurant. I didn't know that Ceili's was opening up a new location here in Richmond! I found that there isn't a lot of pubs in Richmond and was excited to see that a Ceili's opened up here. I really like the food at Ceili's and was excited to give this location a try!

Cartem's Donuterie
Cartem's Donuterie is a pop-up donut shop that opened up on the corner of Hastings and Carrall. It's in the seedier part of town, but worth the trip out for their donuts! Just ignore the random people that come up to you asking for change and make a beeline for the shop :)
Cartem's sells donuts for $3 each or $15 for 1/2 a dozen. It's a bit pricier than most donut shops, but it's worth it! They make them fresh daily and use the finest ingredients. The variety of donuts changes each day too.
And the revealing!

Fisherman's Terrace Seafood - Dim Sum
In the mood for some dim sum, we decided to brave the Aberdeen parking lot in order to dine at our favourite dim sum place, Fisherman's Terrace. As always, it was quite busy, but we still got a table pretty quickly.

Bao Bei Chinese Brasserie
About a year and a half ago, a friend of mine got a job at Bao Bei and told me I should come check it out because it was delicious. Fast forward to last week, and we finally got around to stopping by for dinner. It's located in an area that most would define as 'sketchy' at best, but the reality is that even if the denizens there are a bit seedier, they generally leave you alone or are too high to care.

Cattle Cafe (Richmond)
Flowerbunny and I had decided to try some of the smaller cheap Chinese restaurants near us, so one night after work, we took a walk down Alexander road and ended up at Cattle Cafe. Flowerbunny already reviewed the Burnaby location, but I'd never been and I love noodles, so we decided to give it a shot. They were fairly busy when we entered, but we were seated pretty quickly and given tea.

La Taqueria
My friend was visiting Vancouver and the first thing he told me that he wanted to eat was tacos. He said that he couldn't find any good taco places in China and misses the tacos he used to get out of taco trucks in the States. After much thinking, I decided to bring him to La Taqueria. The tacos at La Taqueria are tasty and probably the most authentic Mexican tacos that you can find here in Vancouver.

Michael's Wilton Cake Decorating - Course 2: Flowers & Cake Design
Just slowly getting all these cake classes posted... They will all be up soon!
After taking Course 1, I went and registered for Course 2: Flowers & Cake Design. In this Course, I learned how to make a variety of flowers using Royal Icing. In Course 1, we learned how to work with buttercream, in Course 2, it's all Royal Icing (with the exception of the first class, which we used fondant and gum paste).

The first class is an introduction to fondant and gum paste. I think having this as a first class is a great preview for what to expect when working with fondant in Course 3 (Gum Paste & Fondant). In this class, we learned how to make Button Flowers and Pansies. The Button Flowers are the easiest to make as all you need to do is lay the fondant over the button flower cut & press mold, cut the shapes out and then assemble. The pansy was a bit more difficult to make as it takes practice to master the ruffling technique with the ball tool.

Deer Garden Signatures
I love a hot bowl of noodles on a chilly day. A great place in Richmond to get a giant bowl of noodles is at Deer Garden Signatures. The restaurant is known for their build-your-own bowl of noodles and the price is right! For $7.95, you pick your soup base, 2 toppings, the type of noodles and drink. It's an additional $1.25 if you want extra toppings, $1 for a cold drink and $1.75 if you want to add a fried pork cutlet, chicken wings, fish puffs, or fried fish on the side. If you don't feel like having noodles, they also have a variety of rice combo dishes available too.
What I like about this restaurant is that they use no MSG in their fish broth, there is a lot of options to choose from and the bowls of noodles are huge! I can never finish a bowl there! All of the noodles here automatically comes with fresh bean curd, mushrooms, and cilantro toppings. If you don't want any of these, you can mark it off on the order sheet.

Watercress & Almonds Fish Soup, Flat Rice Nodles with Beef Brisket and Fish Tofu
The soup was really flavourful and all the ingredients were fresh. Noodles were cooked just right and was not mushy. The beef brisket is a bit fatty here, but has a good taste.
