My favourite Place

I haven't write about my favourite restaurant for pretty long… so today I'm going to introduce to you my favourite place to EAT!! For me,  "EAT" includes mood, people and food at their restaurant. I will recommend you a couple of great restaurants in Vancouver Area♡

First one is Vietnamese restaurant in the China Town called "Phnom Penh". They are very famous among Asian People in Vancouver. Pictures below are the Must Have dishes!!

Butter Beef: Sweet soy sauce with garlic chips and cilantro

Oyster Pan cake: Baby Oysters in the lightly fried pan cake

Papaya Salad: Radish and Papaya with vinaigrette dressing 

Spicy Basil Clam: Large clam and very juicy  

Wings: It is one of the best wings I've ever had in town!!!

Second Place is "Jimoco Cafe & Pasta" in Coquitlam. I'm Pasta-holic so I was looking for a new pasta place and my boyfriend took me to this restaurant. They have a huge menu includes pasta, risotto, steaks and other brunch stuffs. 

 Their Garlic Bread was very soft and delicious. 

 Linguini Soul: Tomato based spicy sauce. My favourite one! 

Carbonara: Creamy and their pasta is nicely chewy

I will share more good restaurants in Vancouver Area soon =)
Eat Vancouver!!

A Smile for Lunch

I'm gonna introduce to you my new lunch boxes from my mom in Japan. First one is a pink dot lunch box for Pasta. It has two storeys so that I can use one for Pasta and another one for salad. Second one is  the Donburi style lunch box. It comes with soup containers too so you can bring noodle with soup for your lunch!! It is an amazing creation! And the last one is just a regular lunch box but with book shape =) Usually I use this lunch box to make a cute lunch♡ 




The picture above is the Donburi style bento box. You can make a variety of meals to take out to your office. Makes your lunch time better and tastier!! 

I made a vegetarian oyako don lunch from left over nimono (simmered dish). 

Broccoli and Sun dried tomato cream pasta with tomato and fish cake salad (soy based dressing).

Huggy Bear made with soy sauce rice/ sausage/ ham. The perfect monday desk lunch =)

Home made Mac and Cheese with Green Olive/ smoked cacciocavalo cheese salad.

Traditional Inari sushi lunch with Garlic stem rolled with bacon/ grilled Japanese Onion and some veggie dishes. 

I had a baby shower for my friend Ryoko and her feature daughter Mia. I was just so excited to see the Princess Mia since I was one of her bride's maid so I made a baby Mia lunch box!!

Here is the process of making my edible cute lunch. Looks like just playing around with coloured rice like kids but it is actually not that easy =)

Tony Tony Chopper from Japanese One Piece Anime made with rice, fish sausage, sliced cheese and seaweed sheet.

It was very awkward to have cute lunch like this on my desk!!! but my future kids and husband are gonna enjoy their lunch time for sure =)

I hope you have enjoyed my lunch pictures!
Will try to make as many characters as I can =)
