New West Fish & Chips

Ah, here I go to New Westminster again! It is as if suddenly I have that urge to visit that part of Metro Vancouver but, hey, if you think about it, if there is people in the area, there ought to be some restaurants, right? Of course, they can be good, they can be bad, it is a matter of dropping by just to find out (or, in lieu, check blogs!). In my visit to Pattaya Thai, Sherman made mention of a fish and chips place across the street. In my case, I was up for some good old fried fish, despite I knew it might not live up to the expectations of fish I had in Panama. But, Panama is hundred of miles away so I had to live with what is available locally. In this case, that place was New West Fish & Chips. (And, oh, since you can read from the header of this post, I also dropped by Anny’s Dairy Bar!).

Guantanamera Restaurant and Bar
334 Sixth Street
New Westminster, BC
A couple of weeks ago, I visited Delicias de Alicia for some Cuban food. I really wanted to like the restaurant, given the lack of such restaurant types in Vancouver but, in the end, I thought it failed to deliver. In the comments for that post, reader yoyo mentioned a new Cuban restaurant in the New Westminster area. So, to show some love to that part of Metro Vancouver, for the third time this week, I went to Guantanamera Restaurant and Bar.

It makes me wonder at times what is the general perception of the general readership about blogs. This is specially considering when I was personally attacked in two posts because my “lack of knowledge” on the subject. The funny thing is that I have never claimed expertise! (Even funnier is the fact some points in the comments are plain incorrect). Of course, that does not give me a free pass to freely say what I want, instead, I want readers to held me accountable, as I have mentioned previously. Of course, as long as you don’t go calling names, everything is fair game. With that in mind, that brings the question, what are the standards of printed publications? For example, when Karl wrote about Pattaya Thai, an editor from a local magazine attacks him. I have know Karl for some time and, while we might disagree on some things, I will have to also say he has really interesting insight and opinions about the food – and I respect him for that. But, still I knew I had to visit this restaurant and find out by myself what is so “special” about it. And that opportunity came when Sherman‘s hockey team (who, other than “Gadget Girl”, I won’t even try to list their names, on that note, Sherman’s post is here!) went there one night and checked with me to see if I wanted to tag along.

New Westminster… A part of Metro Vancouver with its own pocket of interesting places. In the last week or so, I have been going to some restaurants in the area, somehow starting with Royal City Thai, which was blogged two weeks ago. This time, King Sushi, a sushi restaurant in Sixth Street based on a suggestion from Sherman. Would it be another good eats or a flop? One way to find out!

The first time we met Karl (of The Friday Lunch) was at the bò 7 món (beef seven ways) in Thai Hang. Being the good fellow blogger he is, when he was aware of a new Thai restaurant in New Westminster, he decided to check with Jessica, Sherman and myself if we wanted to give it a try. Hey, food? I am there!

OK, it has been almost two weeks since I came back from Seattle and I am not finally starting to catch up with my post on Vancouver restaurants. I think that, for comparison purposes, Seattle can give a run to Vancouver’s Canadian dollars in terms of food but, in the end, I am biased towards Vancouver, hehehehe.
Anyway, after I was back, the eternal question popped out the following morning: Hungry… Food… Where? The truth is that I need something “soft” to the stomach. After all, I ate way too much fatty/fried food while in Seattle! So, in a way, I short listed myself to soup, congee and noodles. But, since I was doing errands in the Edmonds area, I decided to drop by a pho place that might easily fly over almost everybody’s radar simply because it is in an odd place: a strip mall in 20th Street – a street that usually carries heavy traffic (because it directs you to the Queensborough bridge) but not much else.

New Westminster, BC
Despite there were interesting options during my trip to Scottsdale (again, there were several dozen restaurants in the couple of block radius near my hotel), I have to mention I wanted to come back to Vancouver. Sure, weather was nicer in Scottsdale but Vancouver is the place I now call home. The night after I came back, I wanted something “Vancouver” and, being a coastal city, what “better” option that fish and chips? Of course, given all the options in the city, the usual question is “where”? Not wanting to drive to Steveston, I looked for other options and, as a result, I ended up in Cockney Kings Fish & Chips.
