A Ri Rang Tofu House 阿里郎嫩豆腐 on Urbanspoon

Came here with V one day after work. Was really impressed with the interior, really simple and clean with a touch of traditional decor.

After going through the menu, we got the bulgogi and seafood + beef stew combo ($16) to share thinking it would be big, turns out we were very wrong. The combos we saw on the menu compared the the actual dish was significantly smaller in size. As for the appetizers, there was literally less than a spoonful of bean sprouts on the appetizer plate.

The seafood and beef stew (medium spicy) was more spicy than "seafood", in fact you could barely taste the seafood at all. The combo came with an uncracked egg, not knowing what to do we asked the waitress who kindly told us that it is to be put into the soup. By the time we added the egg to the soup the pot was no longer hot and bubbling and the egg was left undercooked. Moreover there was very little beef in the soup that it'd probably be equivalent to one slice of hot pot beef.

When we went to pay, the man subtly hinted that we should have ordered 2 separate dishes/combos, saying that the combo was actually for one person.

Price:  $$
Food:    
Service:    
Ambience:     

ConclusionThe frugal me wanted to come here in the first place because it sounded like a good deal and it just happened to be a Tuesday. Maybe I'll give it another try sometime down the road, but would probably not order a combo again.

Trilussa Pizza & Pane on Urbanspoon

I've been really into Vancitybuzz recently, there's so many things about my city that I learn from this website on a daily basis. Life hacks, events, gatherings and the best or cheapest places to go grab a bite.

Which lead me to Trilussa. For those of you who know me personally, I love pizza. I can have it everyday, thick crust, thin crust, stuffed crust, cheesy crust, I love it all! But of them all I have to say Trilussa has to be my all time favourite. Particularly the brunch pizza.

I quickly scheduled a date with K, upon arriving we were greeted warmly by the friendly staff and owner. It took us a while to decide what we wanted because everything looked so good. Unlike the average pizza joint, you can't really buy their pizza as a whole or by slice, that is not an option. Instead you buy it by the inch!  5 inch or 8 inch.



In the end K got the Vancouver (salmon and organic salad) and I got the Trastevere (Pancetta, Mozzarella and Pecorino)

We were both very impressed with the quality of the pizza, both of them gets heated up again in the over before serving - that is if it wasn't already fresh. And if they don't have it out, they make it right away!

I went back not to long ago, this time I tried the brunch pizza. If you have had this yet, you have to go try! I thought their pizzas in general was good until I had the brunch pizza, which had an egg on top of the pizza (my 2 favourite things, egg and pizza, which surprisingly taste superb together).
