Where Have I Been?

Trust me. Being a full time student and working part-time is not easy, especially when you have to deal with a bunch of other life stressors at once. This year, many life changes have happened. I moved into a new apartment, got a promotion at work, got sick, etc. etc. etc. So, in many ways, I've been preoccupied with a lot of things to deal with in my own life over the past year. Thus, I've had very little time to blog.

That being said, one of my major life changes is my diet. You see, I used to be able to eat whatever I want. Six rounds of buffet? SURE! Fries, burgers, and milkshakes for a week? OKAY! All You Can Eat Sushi twice a week? BRING IT ON! Therefore, I was quite heavy for someone my age at my height. Unfortunately, with a few health problems and a stomach that doesn't work quite well, my old habits can't be a lifestyle anymore. Now, my diet consists of very 'healthy' foods, mostly boiled ones with not much seasoning or any flavour at all (not saying that healthy food needs to be this way). But fortunately, I've gradually been able to eat some more "normal" foods like an occasional burger, a steak once in a while, or a dessert when out with friends. Now, I am finally able to get back to blogging recipes and local restaurant reviews.

But, I'm sure many of you might me to expand a bit further than just food recipes and local reviews... so what do you think? Would you like to see a bit more? Leave a comment down below!

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...
