Torta Persian Cuisine in Henderson Place Mall, Coquitlam
After the Lafarge Lake visit was cut short by the weather, we went to the nearby Henderson Place Mall for lunch.
We love this mall for it’s variety of Asian and Middle Eastern Cuisines.
This time, the mall seemed more busy than our previous visits. This time, we decided to try the Torta Persian Cuisine.
We picked their specialty Dizi Sangi to try as we saw a copy of a local Chinese newspaper cut out with the photo of Dizi meal pasted in the stall front. We were told that it will take 10 minutes for the food to be heated up. (more…)

Panos Greek Taverna on SE Marine Dr, Vancouver
My office celebrated the birthday of a colleague on a Friday. We ordered lunch from Panos Greek Taverna on SE Marine Dr which is 5 minutes drive away.
My colleague called up Panos Greek Cuisine to place the take out order at 11:00AM, when the restaurant opens for lunch. We told the restaurant that we will pick up our orders at 12:00PM. When one of my colleague arrived at the restaurant 5 minutes past 12:00PM, he was asked to wait. He waited for 20 minutes before our food were ready. That is how busy the restaurant is.
I had the Chicken Souvlaki which comes with Greek salad, potato, rice and tzatziki. All of us swapped the tzatziki with hummus except one but somehow, all our orders came with hummus. We preferred hummus as it goes better with the pita bread.
There were plenty of pita bread left over as most of us only had half a pita bread.
Here are some of the items that my colleagues ordered: Prawn Souvlaki. (more…)
