Excellent Oatmeal Cookies

Submitted by Barb on Tue, 03/12/2002 - 22:04

Tonight I had a hankering for oatmeal cookies. I made these cookies from Allrecipes Tried & True cookies; Top 200 Recipes cookbook..


They turned out to be chewy, just as I wanted. Instead of walnuts, I added dried cranberries and raisins. I also decreased the salt to 1/2 tsp. Next time I might add chocolate chips.

Phnom Penh Update!

Submitted by Barb on Mon, 03/11/2002 - 22:34

According to VanEats reader, Wendy, and some of our friends, Phnom Penh's original location in Chinatown is still open. They've even undergone renovations recently. Although this location is further away from us, the drive is worth it!

This month's Gourmet magazine focuses on San Francisco. The issue reviews great places to eat, shop and hang out. It makes me want to book a flight to visit our friends there and to eat, of course!

Where to eat Dim Sum 2002

Submitted by Roland on Sat, 03/09/2002 - 23:50

My friend Denise asked me where I recommend eating dim sum in Vancouver.

This is a very tough question because there are so many great dim sum restaurants particularly in Vancouver and Richmond.

Here are my current personal favourites. There are many more great ones out there but these are the ones I know about and love. Feel free to let us know about your favourites.

Memphis Blues Barbeque House

Tonight we were planning to go to Phnom Penh, one of our favourite southeast Asian restaurants for dinner. When we arrived at their Broadway location, we found that another restaurant has moved into their space!! (We're looking into where they've moved). Distraught, we wandered around trying to think of some where else to dine.
