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!

Quick and Easy Breakfast

Wow! It has been another hectic week. With the start of the new summer semester, I have been slowly adjusting to the regular routine again. However, having only one online course has proven to be a struggle when it comes to getting into the rhythm of things. I go to work more often and study less than usual. I continue to go on weekend adventures and exploring different hiking trails two to three times a week. No matter how my schedule looks like, I am still VERY, very busy! With so many things to do every week and so less time, making breakfast can turn into a war zone in the kitchen. Fortunately, I discovered a fast and easy breakfast that will not only give me the energy I need for the day, but save me time in the process: Scrambled eggs style omelette and homemade hashbrowns. See below for the recipe! Ingredients 2 Eggs 1 Cup of Spinach 1 Large White Potato (Or 2 White nugget potatoes) Salt and Pepper, to taste 1/4 Onion, Sli...

Upscale Feeling

Just a few days ago, my mom and I went to a local place for a quick dinner before heading home. We stopped by Aberdeen Centre and happened to stumble upon a nicely lit and upscale dining area in the first floor of the large mall. It happened to be Sugarholic Cafe, an Asian cafe that looks nothing like your typical Hong Kong Style restaurant. We decided to have their special that night which included a drink, main course, and dessert. We ordered their honey green tea and iced fresh fruits tea for our drinks. To my surprise, both drinks were delicious! Although a little on the sweet side, the honey green tea was so refreshing. The iced fresh fruits tea was also good, however, it was a little disappointing when we found out that the tea was simply fruit infused, not anything special. Next we had our main course: Seafood Miso Cream Udon and Paella Style Seafood Risotto.   The seafood miso cream udon was quite amazing. Although mixing miso and cream sauce was the last thing I e...
