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.

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.
