Featured on the Campus Scene Section of Asian Post

I was helping out at the Vancouver Fashion Week when Wilson approached me, at first I thought maybe I knew him from somewhere because I do go to a lot of events where I meet new people all the time. He introduced himself and kindly asked me if I was interested in doing a shoot for Asian Post. I've never been featured in a newspaper before so I was ecstatic and quickly agreed! After all it's a great opportunity to gain more experience. For this shoot I teamed up with Wilson and Sarah to produce the following:











Sarah did a bolder look for me, I was a little nervous at first cause I felt that having bright bold lips would draw too much attention to me, but I kind of fell in love with dark pinky lips. It really makes my lips pop. 

What do you prefer? Subtle nude lips or Bold lips?

Japadog (Robson) on Urbanspoon

I know that Japadog has been around for many years now, but I never got the chance to try it out for myself. I've tried Grazy Dog, but not Japadog, I think its mainly because of the location. The reason why I rarely go downtown is because a) I'm lazy b) it takes forever looking for a parking spot and c) parking gets really expensive.

I was shopping with A a while ago when we got hungry a decided to go grab food, A recommended Japadog and was surprised that I had never had it before since it's been popular for so long. I know~~ no excuses… so I agreed to try. Its funny because I've lived in Vancouver all my life and I still don't know my way around downtown, it's nice to know my phone has GPS!!

I got the Tonkatsu <3

A got the Terimayo

What I liked the most about Japadog was their selection of sauces!

Honey Mustard, Wasabi and BBQ (and this is what we took to our table, there were more!)

The place is quite small so I guess they had to be smart when it comes to furniture etc. You know how girls like to shop and have bags and bags of stuff? Japadog put a "shelf" under the table so your stuff won't have to be on the floor! (kudos to the designer)

Patisserie Für Elise on Urbanspoon

- - - - - - Long awaited post no more!

I found out about this place through a friend's Facebook, she posted some pictures of the waitresses in cute outfits and the food. I just had to ask where this place was, because it didn't look like it belonged in Vancouver, it was simply too cute! Going high tea makes me want to dress up like a doll. pouffy dress, big hair, high heels, lace, pink! *self control*




I arrived a little early so I had to wait outside for a bit, as it turns out they open at 1:00 pm no earlier. I took advantage of the free time i  had to take pictures of the place, the location was very interesting, its actually at a heritage house on Robson st.






From the outside to the inside it was clear they wanted it to look like a dollhouse.

 I wasn't the only one waiting outside not long after my arrival, groups of people joined me in waiting to be let in.



Upon our arrival we were given a menu, for TEAS!

I got the blueberry yoghurt, it came in really fancy cups, each person had a different cup. I was so amazed i had to take pictures of everyones cup.




Next thing that fascinated me was their strainer, it looked like a littler bird fountain.

Simple and cute.

my tea set :)

this is how the strainer is used.

The goodies I put into my tea

As for the food, here is what we had:

Appetizer: Chocolate Mousse

Top Layer:



There's something about high tea that when you look at the portions, they seem small, but when you actually get to eating it, you can never finish.

Patisserie Fur Elise also has a store front when you walk in where they sell their products!








and the macaroons
