• jofu on Seattle: The Tamarind Tree: Hey Ben and all repliers, The 7 course beef meal CAN be found in Vancouver. I remember a place called Tu Noi on Hastings had it, and it was quite famous. But then they closed down and then reopened on Nanaimo and 1st. Unfortunately, they closed down and are no longer in business. I will try and find out the restaurant where our family orders 7 course beef meal for you guys. A little background on this 7 course beef meal. We usually only take out 1 of the 7 courses because we find 4 of the other courses are not worth the price, and that 2 of the courses my mom can make. The one that we take out are the tiny beef sausages because it’s quite hard to make. The other 2 that my mom makes is quite simple. It’s basically just sliced beef, and cooked either in a vinegar-y broth, or korean bbq-ed. That’s it. The secret of the meal is with the sauce. If I am not mistaken, the sauce that you have in your 5th picture has a fishy taste?...

• LotusRapper on Seattle: Cedars Restaurant on Brooklyn: There’s a new South Indian restaurant in town (West Broadway btwn Oak and Laurel) called Saravana Bhavan. Strictly vegetarian, and South Indian instead of the northern (Moghul) Indian cuisine popular in Vancouver. Good food, very reasonable prices. Friendly staff, nice decor and room. Highly recommended :-)

• [eatingclub] vancouver || js on Seattle: Portage Bay Cafe: 1. Breakfast is usually an expensive proposition. It’s not unusual for us to spend about $15 per person at western breakfast places. Which makes Chinese breakfast places such a good deal, but then, they’re totally different animals. 2. Organic this, organic that: well, a lot of people have jumped on this bandwagon, to sell at a much higher price. Safeway sells organic, Walmart sells organic: big business has totally moved into organic and are taking over. To add insult to injury, there are some lobbying to loosen the standards even more so more things can be labelled “organic.” 3. Case in point: “organic prawns.” How can prawns be labelled as organic? 4. Organic never claimed to be better-tasting than conventionally-grown produce, just pesticide-free. So, for those who are concerned about pesticide residues in produce, there is the organic option. Although, given #2, we’ll just have...

• Su-Lin on Seattle: The Tamarind Tree: Wow - that 7 course beef meal looks amazing! I too started looking online for a place in Vancouver that does that but came up with nothing. Maybe it’s an American-Vietnamese thing? No idea. I love Phnom Penh in Chinatown!
