The brand of cooking caramel or thick soy sauce as shown in the pic ‘Cheong Chan’ is available at the Heng Long Market on 104 Ave in Surrey. There are other brands like ABC but they are too sweet.Anthony on Hokkien Mee
Hi Elaina, Chinese white fig is called Moh Fah Koh in Cantonese.Suanne on Papaya Dessert Soup
Thanks so much for sharing the recipe Suanne!! I can’t wait to give this dessert soup a try. I have one question, what do you call chinese white figs (in cantonese)?Elaina on Papaya Dessert Soup
Wow! I guess Canadians lack the soul to get this place.Goobah on Washington DC: Ben’s Chili Bowl
Eating ice-cream when it’s cold is meant to warm you up. Is that true?monchichi on La Casa Gelato at Vanables St, Vancouver
Hey Claire: You’re a Brit, you can confirm this. I was told when I was in London that the national dish in the UK is not Fish and Chips but Chicken Tikka Masala!! BenBen on Bombay Bhel on Hastings in Burnaby
This is an excellent restaurant. Also, if there are any ex-Brits reading this foodie blog - this restaurant has the BEST onion Bhajis outside of England!! Bliss!!Clare on Bombay Bhel on Hastings in Burnaby
I love South Indian food and was quite delighted by this restaurant! Good food, great service, good price. I did think the Masala Dosas were a tad small and uninspiring though, but it definately gets my thumbs up!
That place does not have good gelato. Mondo’s Gelato is far superior to them. Trust me, La Casa’s only good until you try what good really is.Victor on La Casa Gelato at Vanables St, Vancouver
Hi Angie, they do have lemon flavour because when I asked for something sourish, they let me try the lemon flavour. Not sure about grapefruit though.
Wow! The gelato looks good. Wonder they have lemon or grapefruit flavors?Angie on La Casa Gelato at Vanables St, Vancouver
I agree with Kimho. But that’s reality. You can go to Maurya or Vij’s and it’s still cuisine adapted to local tastes. And in terms of saltiness, I’ve yet walked out of one Indian restaurant without feeling thirsty from their over-salted foods. Which is ironic as their foods are so rich in strong or subtle spices and yet they still seem to add so much salt in their cooking. But I’ll admit to being a 2-plater at Saffron. I used to be able to do 3, but nowadays 2 is good enough for me :-)LotusRapper on Saffron Indian Cuisine on Kingsway, Burnaby
The gelato here is epic. Thanks for spreading the word!Erik | Gravytrain - Vancouver BC Sales Lead Generation on La Casa Gelato at Vanables St, Vancouver
Hi KimHo, Thomas Haas is in our list of places to visit for a long time but we never get to cross another bridge to it.
Have you considered Thomas Haas (in North Van)? OK, it is a long drive from Richmond; however, Ironworkers Memorial is not that far from Schokolade.KimHo on Schokolade Cafe on East Hasting, Vancouver
