FoodScenes: Photography X Food=The Perfect Combo

Can't believe it's already the end of summer! Before heading back to school, I have to make the most of my time trying some of the local favourites here in Vancouver.  One of my favourite summertime local destinations is the Steveston Village. I grew up within a few minutes away from this historical neighbourhood, so I did come here very often. As a child, I would go to their huge playground and climb all day with my friends. As I grew up, I began to volunteer at some of their community events in the summer. Now, I visit the village to grab some fresh fish from the fisherman's market near the docks and enjoy fish and chips by the seaside. Pajo's Fish and Chips Steveston is best known for their fish and chips. In fact, most of their family owned restaurants serve fish and chips in some way or form. For myself, I always love to have fish and chips in one of the restaurants on the docks. Over the years, I've found myself deeply in love with Pajo's Fish an...

Vancouver has experienced quite a weather contrast from last year. Instead of having hot summer weather, we've been experiencing relatively cool, almost Autumn like weather, with heat flashes once in a while. This week, I decided to enjoy a Hong-Kong inspired breakfast that embraces our variable weather. As a Chinese Canadian, shredded ham and macaroni has been part of my diet at some point or another. This week, I made a very simple macaroni and egg with chicken soup for breakfast, with a simple blueberry shake on the side. This breakfast is a healthy alternative to traditional bacon and eggs, consisting of a balance between grains, fruits, dairy, and protein. This provides athletic students like me enough energy to power me through the day without excess fat. Best part about this breakfast? It can be made in less than 10 minutes with very little prep work needed. Try it out today! Macaroni and Egg Soup Ingredients: 3-5 Handfuls of Macaroni 1 Handful of frozen ...

So, continuing on my Whistler journey. One of the most important things when it comes to dining during an adventure packed trip is proximity. As an adventurous tourist with some dining expectations, I want to eat lunch at a place that a) is close to all the fun activities b) has fast and good service c) is reasonably priced d) has delicious food We decided to head to Longhorn Saloon and Grill just before our ATV tour in the afternoon. The Longhorn Saloon and Grill has a western vibe to it. Even though the restaurant is situated in the north away from civilization, this restaurant makes you feel like a cowboy from a dusty town. The best part about Longhorn Saloon and Grill is its proximity to the gondola, where many fun activities, such as mountain biking, sightseeing, and zip-line adventures, start. Since we were sitting outside on their patio, we had the opportunity to watch mountain bikers pull of difficult stunts while we chatted away. A heater also kept us comforta...
