Lik It Up :)

Don't worry, this blog is for all ages :)

For those of you who don't live in Vancouver, LIK N2 is a very popular liquid nitrogen ice cream store right in the heart of Downtown Vancouver. Although a relatively new establishment in the neighbourhood, this unique store offers a very casual atmosphere that allows you to enjoy a fun dessert with a buddy or two while watching the smoke spill all over their ice cream "lab" from the liquid nitrogen.

For those of you who don't know, liquid nitrogen ice cream is, well, made using liquid nitrogen to immediately freeze the ice cream while making it! Don't worry, it is safe for consumption :)

What makes LIK N2's liquid nitrogen ice cream different from other places I've been to is that each of their signature creations include a syringe where you can "shoot" some icing or chocolate into your dessert. With this amazing idea, you can control exactly how much icing or chocolate fudge you want on your ice cream. Or, if you are crazy about icing and chocolate drizzle, you can put the syringe in your mouth and eat directly from it!

 Atmosphere wise, LIK N2 has a very cozy, but modern feel. However, the place can be a little bit small, considering how many people visit LIK N2 each night. Pricing wise, LIK N2 can be a little on the pricier side. This is because liquid nitrogen ice cream is not too common here in Vancouver. However, many liquid nitrogen ice cream stores are starting to appear in this area. For the taste and quality of their desserts, the price is totally worth it.

 Try LIK N2 next time you are in town!

Whistler Features: MOOOOOOOO!

On a hot sunny day next to mother nature, one can only imagine relaxing under the trees...eating ice cream! ...At least that was me. While on my trip in Whistler, I had a chance to stop by their specialty ice cream store: Cows. Cows is nothing like your ordinary ice cream shop. It has a central utter theme to it. Nearly EVERYTHING in the shop is Cow related. Take this "Moovenger" shirt for example. I killed myself laughing with all the Cow puns in the store. Since Cows is famous for their ice cream, I decided to try their Oreo Cookie Ice Cream and Cookie Dough Ice Cream. I finally understood why there are always long line ups for ice cream out the door. The ice cream was DELICIOUS! It was soft enough to eat, yet hard enough to retain its perfect spherical shape. I also loved how their ice cream contains just the right amount of Oreo cookies and cookie dough. Many ice cream shops often serve ice cream with too little toppings mixed in. Another great perk of Cows is that ...

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...
