FISH CAFE
Fish and Chips
All 3 females were hankering for some fish and chips. Stomach was outnumbered (again!)
Sometimes he just has to go home and crawl into this man-cave downstairs, with its big screen t.v. and watch some war movie or something with explosions, bloodshed, gore and gunfire.
STUART’S BAKERY, GRANVILLE ISLAND
Black Forest Cake.
Yes, it’s a little lop-sided from having been smushed against the side of the box, but it was oh so good!
New York Cheesecake.
Rich, dense cheesecake. Very good and decadent.

BURGOO, MAIN STREET
Brie Fondue!
at Burgoo!
It’s been ages since I had fondue and my fond memories in Alsace of having all that reblochon cheese (tartiflette! yum!) and the awesome Cheese Fondue I ate with my great French friends V and P. Sigh. Eating fondue in Vancouver just doesn’t cut it, but it sure is better than not eating any fondue.

GF BABY BUNDT CARROT CAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE GLAZE
GF Baby Bundt Carrot Cakes with Cream Cheese Icing
These baby bundts go very well with a shot of espresso. The bitterness of the coffee is a perfect accompaniment to the carrot cake’s sweet flavour profile.

GOOD CHOICE FOR DIM SUM
Spicy Pan Fried Radish Cake.
Having had a great dining experience the last time we ate at Good Choice, we gave it a go for Dim Sum today.
The pan fried radish cake had just the right amount of heat. It had fresh chilies, fresh bean sprouts and the cubes of radish cake held well with a light crispy exterior and soft interior. Rating: 6/6

DREAM SUSHI
Toro Rose.
3 pieces of toro sashimi wound together to create a rose. It was so pretty and lovely to eat. I scarfed it down pretty quickly without offering any to Stomach. Rating: 6/6

MARULILU CAFE
Iced White Chocolate Matcha Latte.
What a gorgeous drink! It was cool, creamy and refreshing on a hot summer day. I liked the soft sweet white chocolate flavour combined with the slightly astringent and grassy matcha. Yum!
QUE? QUEJOS ARE GF!
Extra Cheese Quejos (kay-joes).
Made from manioc, these “breads” are indeed Gluten Free.
Are you finding it troublesome finding GF breads that taste like bread? Well, Quejos are not in any way like bread texturally, but they do taste good and can be used like bread to sandwich fillings. They remind me of a chewy scone. Often, in recipes for the Brazilian bun, I’ve seen people use tapioca starch instead. Manioc accounts for the squeaky chew you get when you bite into it. Yes, the bun actually squeaks between your teeth. When you split the quejos horizontally, you will find that often it is hollow. All the better to house lots of fillings! Think spicy pulled pork, jalapenos, pickled onions, cabbage, tomatoes and more!
Spinach and onion Quejos.
