Belgium Waffles?!?!

With hot weather arriving again, desserts become an essential part of life. This week I am featuring a favourite dessert place of mine: Nero Belgian Waffle Bar.

Nero has been one of my all time favourite places to go with friends after shopping for hours at the mall nearby. Even though I am broke by dessert time, I will always make an extra exception to my wallet to accommodate this truly amazing waffle.

Located on the busy Robson Street in Downtown Vancouver, this cozy waffle bar offers a simplistic but highly creative menu of different types of Belgium waffles. With whichever type of waffle you choose, you can always choose to have a liege waffle or a brussels waffle as its base. Liege waffle, as explained in their menu, is soft and sweet, whereas the Brussels waffle is light and crispy.

My favourite waffle has always been The Biscuit on top of a brussels waffle. The Biscuit is a belgium waffle served with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, cookie crumble, and a drizzle of melted dark chocolate. Already sweet itself with the toppings, I choose the Brussels waffle as my base. Within minutes of arriving, I quickly indulge this delicious dessert in under 5 minutes.This yummy dessert definitely is one of my highlights of my summers! Check out Nero Belgian Waffle Bar next time you are in Downtown Vancouver!

Popbar: Sweet Treats on a Stick

After a nice biking trip around Vancouver, I took the skytrain to Popbar at Metrotown to enjoy a small treat. Popbar is an unique dessert bar that sells frozen treats, from gelato to sorbets, on a stick. With many flavours to choose from, this new dessert place is the place to go on a hot, sunny day. For myself, I got the vanilla pop Gelato dipped in dark chocolate and no toppings (I like my gelato as plain as possible). And, as expected, it was DELICIOUS. The flavour was just right; not too sweet, not too milky, just enough to bring out the taste of vanilla with the crunchiness and bitterness of the dark chocolate fudge. Check out Popbar on your next sunny day out!

Glowbal Dinner: Review

For once, the cold is gone and warmth is coming our way in Vancouver! As the weather becomes more ideal for hanging outside and the Spring Semester is coming to an end, friends and family finally have the chance to spend some time together. For myself, I had the opportunity to dine in one of Vancouver's fine restaurants for my mom's birthday. Like most kids, I want to make sure I celebrate my mom's birthday the way she likes. Coming from a family of chefs, my mom loves to enjoy nice relaxing dinners whenever she can, especially when it comes to her birthday. So, I treated her to a dinner in an upscale restaurant in downtown Vancouver as her birthday present. Calamari Glowbal is an upscale dining paradise situated at the heart of downtown Vancouver. Built very recently, Glowbal offers a very modern dining experience and features an exquisite menu with cuisines from around the world. What is stunning about Glowbal goes beyond their menu. Built in the Telus Square Ga...
