Every year Vancouver has been host to a dumpling festival where culinary artists would gather to present to the crowds their take on the traditional pork dumpling. Some chef’s keep it simple and true to its roots, others go above and beyond and offer their own personal flare on the Chinese staple. With this in…
Cravings.. we all have them. After spending long hours at school with no end in sight, worst case scenario is developing cravings for food you know you cannot find on campus. These craving occur almost regularly for me – especially when I’m on campus from 8am till 9pm. In most cases, I crave a bowl…
Downtown Vancouver’s famous Robson Street is known for several things: shopping, fashion, and food. The further you walk towards the West End, the food options can become overwhelmingly endless. What am I craving tonight? What should I eat? Whatever you’re in the mood for, remember to save room for dessert because there’s always ice cream,…
Okay so it’s the end of January, and for those of you who set financial-based New Year’s resolutions, if you’ve stuck to your resolution to this point then you’re one of few. That being said, now is no time to give up! I mean if you’ve made it this far, the least you can do…
Brunch options are aplenty in Vancouver. For that perfect mid-morning meal on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, indecision might be a common issue. I’ve a few places that make my list of go-to brunch spots, but for this post, I’ll focus on one I recently visited: Tuc Craft Kitchen. Located on the outskirts of Gastown…

Naturally, some places would be better than others, or one would develop their own personal preference. That said, this post features my favourite: Marutama Ra-men. Robson Street is arguably the mecca of…
Hey, pizza lovers! This post is for you. Vancouver has many amazing places to visit for a pizza fix. For some students who spend late nights in the ehPod, Dominoes, Panago, or Pizza Hut take-outs is the next best thing to sushi.

There are several things I look forward to in the month of December: end of exams, freedom, the holidays, more freedom, and the Vancouver Christmas Market. Asides from all the Christmas mugs I’ve hoarded, er I mean collected, over the years.. the Vancouver Christmas Market always brings out the spirit of the holidays in me.…
“Taco Tuesday” – a catchy alliteration that has, for so long, only reminded us to consume tacos once a week. For too long has our judgement been clouded by such thought. Why limit yourself to only tacos on Tuesdays when you can have tacos all day, every day? What if I told you there are options? What…
“Mugs?” The single-word question that my friends and I ask each other on days when we need to get away from school life. For many full-time students at BCIT, Professor Mugs is the place to take a brief pause from the projects and stress of our studies. It’s a place to socialize, shoot some pool,…
