The One Restaurant
5908 Kingsway
Burnaby, BC
On Tuesday’s “bonus” post, I showed some pictures of “interesting” dishes and hinted they will be for next week. I am sure some of you suspect what is coming but (and probably) overstating the obvious, yes, I was out of town. OK, let me rephrase that: I was out of the country/North America. But, as usual, there is that “last meal” concept, a place you might want to visit before leaving town. In my case, there was no particular reason for going out and getting something to eat (which, by now is not necessarily and excuse). Instead, I was too lazy to do dishes and throw the garbage afterwards… So, in this instance of laziness, I chose to visit one place that I suggested Anita the day we ended up going to Burgoo: The One Restaurant (TOR), which is a fork of a Burnaby favourite – Lao Shan Dong (LSD). The question is of course whether it lives up to its roots…

If you have been following Anita‘s tweets, you will find out she is going through a “foodie nightmare” right now. As a friend, I checked with her if she was up to a “last meal” before she started that procedure. She was good but, the usual question popped: Where? I provided several options, including Zakkushi and The One. In the end, we ended up going to Burgoo. After all, comfort food, right!

Brado Restaurant
1399 Commercial Drive
Vancouver, BC
Late night eats… While I am no Sherman when it comes to eating at certain times of the day (or the night), when push comes to shove, well, I am willing to try anything. One night, I was in East Vancouver and decided to drive to Commercial Drive for good eats. Unfortunately, most of the places were already closed or close to closing (unlike previous instances, this was drawing closer to 11:00 p.m. already) so I was hesitant on the options remaining. That is until I drove past Brado…

Nancy Wonton House
5257 Victoria Drive
Vancouver, BC
Once again, during the Olympic Games, after I attended the only event I got tickets for, which I got from the original lottery, it was dinner time. The problem was that… I didn’t know where to go for dinner! Driving round and round (OK, not literally), I was going through Victoria Drive when I noticed Nancy Wonton House, a place I have in my list for a while but haven’t for some reason. And one of the reasons people like this place? Its hours: it close at a relatively late (or early, depending on your perspective) time of the day.
