giovane cafe + eatery + market

I have to admit something….I’ve been a bit inactive lately due to the fact I was practicing for Harry Potter trivia night – which went down yesterday and ahhh….the adrenaline of answering Harry Potter questions…it was pure bliss!!

Working in downtown Vancouver, I’ve become quite the food expert around my office and downtown. Eating out everywhere is TOO easy and it’s a sin. One of the places I frequent a bit is at giovane cafe + eatery + market, a cafe that is part of Fairmont Pacific Rim and a fairly convenient place to grab a delicious bite of food. I don’t want to go in to too much detail, but I recently tweeted to Fairmont Pacific Rim regarding an order I made as something was missing. Not only did they reply back and apologized, they also invited me back for lunch. I’ve always been a fan of this cafe and hopefully people in Vancouver will be fans too! [Read more…]

CANADA 150| TWG Tea Jubilee Tea Set

If you haven’t heard, Canada is turning freakin’ 150 years old this year. I’m almost 1/5 of that age. Needless to say, there’s a LOT going on in Vancouver now for Canada 150 (but I’m also just really excited for the long weekend.) There’s also a lot of specialty items created for Canada’s 150th birthday; TWG Tea Canada is currently serving the Jubilee Tea Set and you don’t need to be Canadian to enjoy the flavours in this!

NYC EATS| FUKU

After eating days of crappy park food in Disney World, I said I’d stay away from fried protein when I went to New York City. The only exception that deserved to be an exception was Fuku, a fried chicken shop that is part of the Momofuku chain. (I really wanted to go to Momofuku Ko, but given the price and USD to CAD exchange rate, it just wasn’t worth it. It is on my bucket list though, ever since it was mentioned in one of my favourite books, The Rosie Project.) I went to Momofuku Noodle in Toronto and I think I will continue to try different Momofuku’s in different cities! [Read more…]

TWG Tea Salon & Boutique Valentine’s Day Menu 2017

Love is in the air and I’ve been way too much in love with my new Playstation 4; a slight distraction at the moment. But. whether you’re single or in a relationship, we all got to eat on Valentine’s Day. This year TWG Tea Salon & Boutique is celebrating with a Valentine’s Day Menu that is infused with teas to reflect this season. I was invited to a tasting of it and I hope you fall in love with the photos.

TWG Tea Launches In North America

Happy New Year! Happy 2017 to you all! One of my plans on Dec 31, 2016 was to do a post on goals and what not for January 1, 2017 but that plan flew out of the door; breaking resolutions (#SortOfAResolution) already! But holy, I had the worst sleep pattern for the past few nights took a toll on my brain and there wasn’t enough coffee to set me straight. Hope you all had a great holiday!

I haven’t even really thought about what I want to do this year (can it be like, Dec, 33rd 2016 or something?!) BUT, there was some exciting things that happened last year that I haven’t shared on here. For example, The Urban Tea Merchant closed its doors and launched TWG Tea, the first North American Tea Salon & Boutique in Vancouver.
