Zee bought me lunch at the Quilon Restaurant. Quilon has repeatedly been voted as the No 1 Indian Cuisine restaurant in Richmond. It is located on No 3 Rd and Westminster Highway.
Quilon is the old name for Kollam, a city in the Kerala state in south India.

Wow, just saw the commercial on the TV that the EAT Vancouver event is on from May 26th to May 29th. We have never went to such an event before and would most certainly plan to go. Their website is http://www.eat-vancouver.com.

Arkensen loves chocolate cake. So, before he went for a 5 days camping trip with his class this week, I baked him his favourite Chocolate Yogurt Cake. This is his longest camping trip away from home by himself. He told Ben that when he return home from the camping trip, he wants to choose a restaurant to eat his favourite food. Oh, I am missing him!

Oh the way there, about 10 minutes before we got to Harrison Hot Spring, we saw an eye-catching sign in bold yellow and red advertising Funnel Cakes.

We have been trying to buy Tillamook cheese in Vancouver but has so far not been successful. Does anyone living in Vancouver area know where one could buy it? These days, everytime we pop over to Washington state, we would buy a pound of two.
Our favourite is the Tillamook Pepper Jack Cheese.

We went to the Legendary Noodle restaurant in Richmond. It’s a small diner with only about 30 seats. What sets this place apart is that the chef pulls and cuts the noodles by hand. The chef is a very nice humble man who so graciously consented to have his pictures taken when we asked. He made it look so simple!

When we were there at just after 10am, there were already a long line of people queuing up for the dollar breakfast. The breakfast is served from opening time until 11am everyday.

Kimbab is Korean sushi. Koreans will always say that kimbab is kimbab — it is NOT Korean SUSHI! :-) Hey, it looks like sushi to me!

Creme Brulee literally means ‘burnt cream’ in French. Creme Brulee, pronounced as ‘krem bru lay’ is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a layer of hard caramel, created by burning sugar under a broiler or other intense heat source like kitchen blow torch. It is usually served cold in individual ramekins. The custard base is normally flavored with just vanilla, but it can be flavoured in a number of ways, with chocolate, coffee, green tea, fruit etc.

Salmon is a popular food, and reasonably healthy due to its high protein and Omega-3 fatty acids content and to its overall low fat levels. We had the chance to see a salmon run in Adams River before and it was so awesome seeing thousands of salmon spawn and then die. It will be a “dominant year” this year — this happens once every four years where up to millions of salmons is expected.
