Friday Night Supper
Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral
154 East 10th Avenue
Vancouver, BC
A lot of times we go to restaurants but, at times, you want something “different” yet keeping the same concept (i.e. food served to you). With that into consideration, for today’s post is a bit of a deviation of “normal” restaurant dining fare. Instead, it is about an event that usually takes place on the first Friday of every month: The Friday Night Supper at the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral. Why I chose to drop there? Well, as the name suggests, there is food and it seems it is seldom blogged. So, why not!

Chinese Skewer King
900 W Hastings Street
Vancouver, BC
After been back in town, it was time to tackle the remaining food carts in Vancouver. After all, given my experience in Re-Up BBQ, it was quite possible that my initial thoughts of food carts in Vancouver was mistaken and, actually, there was some glimmer of hope. That brings us to today’s post of another food cart in the Downtown Vancouver area: Chinese Skewer King, which, as the name suggests, has skewers. Can you go wrong with some meat-on-a-stick?

Madras Dosa House
5656 Fraser St
Vancouver, BC
Ever since I went to House of Dosas, I have been wanting to try other similar shops. It is a case similar to that of Chinese cuisine – while we have Cantonese as the predominant one, we know there are other dishes outside from Guangdong. Take for example xiao long bao, a dish that has taken the inverse route, to the point that even Cantonese dim sum places offer it, while we know it is not originally from Guangdong (it is from Shanghai). In the case of dosas, it from the southern region of the Indian subcontinent, while a lot of Indian dishes some of you like (and, in some instances, love) – for example, tandoori chicken and a lot of curries – are from the northern region. And, of course, chicken tikka massala is British… One that I had in my target for some time was Madras Dosa House in Frasier Street for no other reason that it stood out in its own odd ways…

Abdul’s BBQ
Crystal Mall
4500 Kingsway
Burnaby, BC
About a month ago, I wrote a post about Falafel Maison, a Middle Eastern, shawarma restaurant in Downtown Vancouver when reader Koji mentioned Abdul’s BBQ, a similar place in Crystal Mall (overlooking Kingsway). This is a place I have been in the past; however, that was before I started blogging. For some reason, I haven’t been back in a long time and when he mentioned it, I thought, hey, why not!

Gorilla Food
436 Richards Street
Vancouver, BC
In a burger chain ad, a couple is eating there and, while she is having a salad, he is having a burger and calls himself a “meatatarian” (“It is a personal choice!”). I don’t think I would go to that extreme; in fact, I won’t go to either extreme. But, once in a while, having a completely vegetarian meal is not a bad thing. But how about a completely raw meal? That is the premise of Gorilla Food.
