As a Front Desk Agent at Cassandra Hotel, I love to recommend great places to eat in Vancouver to our wonderful guests! Especially since I LOVE to eat and dine out myself! Now I have a whole new list to try that all our guests at The Cassandra Hotel can also check out for ideas!
Vancouver Magazine has compiled a list of 101 Best Things to Eat and Drink in Vancouver. I have no more excuses to be bored in the upcoming Fall and Winter what with 101 new things to try… My head is dizzy with the promise of all these interesting foods to come. OMG!
From the “mouth-watering”,
to the “huh?-It’s-so-strange-I-just-HAVE-TO-try-it”,
to the “one-single-thing-you’ve-been-searching-for-your-whole-entire-life-and-would-have-fought-in-a-gladiator-battle-to-the-death-for-it” (OK… maybe that’s just me, but you get the point)
For example:
Fricassé. To Drool For!
Fricassé. To Drool For!
Fricassé
You may know Medina Café for its excellent coffee and dense, chewy waffles (topped with decadent syrups like lavender milk chocolate and raspberry caramel). But that’s just for openers. Savoury breakfasts like the fricassé (two fried eggs, melt-in-your-mouth braised short ribs, roasted potatoes, caramelized onions, arugula, and applewood cheddar) are the real deal here. Medina Café, 556 Beatty St., 604-879-3114. Medinacafe.com

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
Double-smoked bacon from Dickison’s (the butcher next door) is caramelized and crumbled into a luscious cookie mix, which is dotted with chunks of milk and semi-sweet Belgian chocolate from Callebaut. Well-Seasoned, 302c-20771 Langley By-Pass, Langley, 604-530-1518. Wellseasoned.ca

Paan
This South Asian delicacy, which is usually served after meals and on special occasions, consists of chopped areca nuts wrapped in betel leaves along with grated coconut, flower petals, or any number of other flavourings. It has a mild stimulating effect like coffee but works marvellously well as a way to freshen your breath or help digest your curry. Jambo Grill & Goodmorning Paan, 3219 Kingsway, 604-433-5060. Jambogrill.ca
If you’re at Cassandra Hotel and not feeling the need to travel far, we are proud to say that Jambo Grill (just two blocks from Cassandra Hotel) is ALSO featured on this list! What luck!
Singapore-Style Jerky
Singapore-Style Jerky
This beef jerky (pork is also available) is made fresh daily and packed to order. Moist, smoky, and sweet—just one bite and Oberto will be nothing but a distant memory. Bee Kim Heng, 4149 Fraser St, 604-677-5303
If you didn’t know before… This is like my favorite thing in the world and have been looking for it FOREVER! When I used to live in Singapore, I LOVED special occasions when there was like a pound of this stuff in the house (eventually ending up in my tummy). And the last two times I’ve visited Singapore, I’ve actually used a large portion of my luggage weight allowance to smuggle some back home. SHHH! Keep it on the down low, haha, I don’t want to be on a blacklist at the airport.
And NOW, FINALLY, I know where to buy this.. I’m going to be addicted and if I become morbidly obese, VanMag, thank you. It’s like I’ve died and gone to heaven…..
I feel like a kid in a candy shop with a million dollars pocket money and permission from my parents to eat as much sugar as my body can handle…. OK, I’ll stop now.
I’m glad to say that I can cross off 8 items that I’ve already tried before! 93 to go.
If you are staying at Cassandra, ask our front desk for the link to the list at our lobby computer, take a random pick out of the massive number of choices and your taste buds are sure to thank you.

4계절중 가장아름다운 벤쿠버의 여름, 요즘 무더운 벤쿠버에 날씨에 계절을 만끽하기엔 너무 더운게 사실이다. 아이들과 볼거릴를 찾아 나가는것 보다, 에어콘/선풍기 앞에서 서성이지 말고, 시원하고 과학적인 아이들의 놀이터 사이언스 월드에서 짧은 휴일을 보내보자.
가도 가도 끓이 없는 큰땅 벤쿠버에서의 아름다운 자연풍경 명소들, 아름답지만 그래도 이제는 그만 신물이 난다는 관광객들, 하루쯤은 실내 시원한 관광명소를 즐기고 싶다하는 분들이 많을것이다. 그래서 소개하자고 하는 또하나의 벤쿠버 명소는 바로 사이언스 월드이다.
