A couple of weeks ago I received an email from Ben of Chowtimes, where, he along with Christina of Doesn’t TaZte Like Chicken suggested we should have a food bloggers meeting. They were graceful to reschedule the initial scheduled date, as I was travelling to Richmond… OK, before I continue, here is a really funny joke. A friend also check with me to have dinner on the day following the scheduled date. So, I casually tell him I could not as I would be on my way to Richmond. There is a small pause and then he says “6:00 p.m., it is then?”. What happens is that, for us here in BC, Richmond means Richmond, BC (where, technically YVR, the airport, is located); I was going to Richmond, VA! (Yes, there will be some posts on Richmond, VA coming soon). Something similar happened when I told my friends in Panama I went to Sydney, everybody thought I went to Sydney, NZ, whereas I actually went to Sydney, NS – not to mention there is also a Sidney, BC. I am digressing here…

So, other fellow bloggers who came to this event included, in addition to Ben and Suanne of Chowtimes, ET and Christina of Doesn’t Tazte Like Chicken:

And the location suggested? Long’s Noodle House, which Ben and Suanne have visited previously and blogged. Well, they have been there and it is highly recommended so, hey!


You ought to love stock pictures; I completely forgot to take a picture of the exterior before walking in…

To me, Jamaican cuisine is a paradox: it is familiar yet it is foreign at the same time. On one side, for dishes like patties, rice and beans (or rice and peas) and escoveitch fish, there is a Panamanian equivalent. On the other hand, you have jerk chicken, curry goat and ackee and saltfish, well, there are none. So, in a way, it is akin to have Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as a friend. With that in mind, I went to Kiss Yo Mama.
