Shopping

[ROLAND's NOTE]: Sorry for the repost. The system crashed and ate this post which I originally posted yesterday. Check out the remnants.

Sunday afternoon, we picked up some excellent Pine mushrooms from Wild Products at Granville Island for $8 a pound.  Check them out!

[ROLAND's NOTE: Thanks Ken!]

Dunlevy Food Equipment has moved to a bigger premise at 60 W. 7th at Manitoba. This is where I go for basic kitchen tools and gadgets. They cater to restaurants and the commercial hospitality/service sector but open to the public too. Selection isn't huge and don't expect to find trendy equipment, just simple, classic tools that get the job done right.

In response to yesterday's post, Pogi ;-) (thanks!), left comments with the following very useful information:

• Kiwi Pies' phone number 604 454 1914
• the price per pie ($6, "if you add chips or a drink it's another buck each.
  

More than four years later, I am still waisik about mohnkuchen and the Fraser Bakery and Konditorei's mohnkuchen is still amazing. And don't forget their other baked good such as their rye bread and crullers; it's all good!

[ROLAND'S NOTE: Thanks, Ken! As usual, we encourage you to join the site and submit your reviews of your favourite places just as Ken has.]

If you are a fan of Anna's Cake House (as we are), you will be happy to learn that each location is having a continuous 30% sale (items vary weekly) leading from now until their 30th anniversary later this year.

Barb and I hardly ever shop in malls and we had never been to Richmond Centre together until last Monday.

If you are at Granville Island, one of the best places to meat is Armando's Finest Meats. Check out our Armando's Finest Meats Mini-Review for the details.

And here is a picture of their shop:
