I was lucky enough to meet with food writer extraordinaire, Tim Pawsey today at Sun Sui Wah for a quick dim sum lunch. Lots of great conversation.

Check out Ken's review of Cafe Montmartre. By the way, my ex Nortel colleague, Lorraine Cobb, who is now game developer by day and bluegrass performer by night played there recently with the band she is in, the Mountain Bluebirds. Small world as they say!

[ROLAND'S NOTE: Welcome, Nancy! If anybody else has a Vancouver related food blog, please let us know.]

[ROLAND'S NOTE: Talk about a blast from the past! Ken points to The Sushi World Guide which has been around since at least 1998 when I lived in Germany and that I pointed to back on August 8,  2000. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Ken!

As promised in our last post about Kiwi Pie company, here are some photos (more on our Kiwi Pie Company Flickr Photo set).

Minted Lamb and Butternut Squash:

Chicken and Smoked Ham Hock:

On a walk in the old 'hood with the kid today, we strolled past Moderne Burger and Dan.  To my surprise, both restaurants are closed for renovations due to a fire in the store between them.  I hope they are up and running again soon!

Barb and I tried the chicken and lamb pies from the Kiwi Pie Company (#2, 3337 Kingsway, 604 454-1914). Mmm. Two for $6 on Monday and Tuesdays, such a deal and $4 per pie after 4p.m. More later (including photos) when I get over my cold which probably won't be until Friday!

Check out Saab Ken's review of Arroy-D Thai Restaurant. (Ken really needs a blog of his own, I hope he makes it to the Northern Voice (in particular the panel on introduction to blogging where I will demo creating a free blog in less than minute) blogging conference on Saturday to learn why!).
