Split Pea Coconut Pudding

Submitted by Barb on Mon, 01/27/2003 - 20:12

For Chinese New Year I want to make a few traditional Chinese desserts. Out of the blue I remembered this split pea coconut pudding my mum used to make. When I was a kid, I used to pick out all the yellow split peas and just eat the creamy coconut pudding!!

Report: Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2003

Submitted by Roland on Sun, 01/26/2003 - 01:49

Quirky. Off-beat. Slightly askew. Unpretentious. Scottish. Chinese. Multicultural.

These are a few of the words that one could use to describe the 2003 Gung Haggis Fat Choy Dinner. But, as I stated in my report on last year's Gung Haggis dinner, the best word to describe this event is: Canadian!

First Visit: Good Friend Korean Restaurant in Kits

Submitted by Roland on Fri, 01/24/2003 - 23:05

We love Korean food but sometimes we don't want to go all the way to Kingsway or downtown to Jang Mo Jib.

Fortunately, the recently opened Good Friend Korean Restaurant (3569 West Broadway just west of Alma, 604 731-3202) is very close to where we live!

Today, we tried it for the very first time for lunch.

Krispy Kreme store now open in downtown Vancouver!?!

Submitted by Roland on Thu, 01/23/2003 - 23:23

Rumor has it that Krispy Kreme's first Vancouver store is now open in Downtown Vancouver at Dunsmuir and Granville. Please let us know what you think!

I personally prefer non chain stores like Honey Doughnuts and Goodies in Deep Cove (4373 Gallant Avenue, North Vancouver, 604 929-4988).

French Laundry Reservation Success: Dennis Walker

Submitted by Roland on Tue, 01/21/2003 - 23:45

Dennis Walker emailed us that he successfully obtained a French Laundry reservation by following the advice that we gave in our French Laundry Saga Part 3. Namely to reserve in person!

So, if you live in the Bay Area, head on down and reserve it in person. If you don't, then get somebody who you know who lives in the Bay Area to apply in person for you!
