How did it all start...

So...after so long...Who IS this person behind all of this food?

Hello Everyone, I am Gloria and I am a University student based in Vancouver, BC. When I'm not studying, going to lectures, or busing for 4 hours to school, I am a foodie who enjoys dining out at various establishments in the city and elsewhere. I also like to cook. In fact, I am the one who cooks in the family!

I started blogging in my Grade 12 year in high school. In my English class, we were given an assignment to blog about a variety of topics given by the teacher, to be posted online every week for marking. Desperate for an A (I have to admit, I am a so called "try-hard"), I gave it my best shot and poured my soul onto each post. Thankfully, the teacher liked my blog and even recommended me to continue blogging...which is why we are here today :)

Blogging, cooking, and dining has since been one of my passions. I will only continue to keep on sharing what I love to do and hopefully improve both my blogging, dining, and cooking skills as time goes on!

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...
