Thanks Godfrey for responding to my request for good coffee places with free WiFi! I don't mind Blenz but prefer the independents or small chain coffee shops like Artigiano, Take 5 and Trees. Need to go to Richmond and check out the free WiFi in the new Aberdeen Centre. Can anybody else recommend places with good coffee and free WiFi?

Thanks Anne! Of course if anybody knows of good cafes with free WiFi in downtown or elsewhere, please let us know and we'll post it here!

I love watching Barb cook.  Check out my Barb Cooks Sa-Ho Fun from Hon's set on flickr to see her in action, cooking fresh rice noodle sheets aka Sa-Ho Fun from Hon's with Chinese mushrooms, beef, leeks, carrots, pressed tofu and Szechuan hot bean paste.

Check out our mini review of Au Petit Cafe (complete with pictures)!

I had a brief but very enjoyable chat (thanks!) with the friendly and cool Jim Pearce, head honcho of the Slow Food Vancouver convivium and learned lots of things:

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

We love dumplings, so Barb and I have got to try out the Yan Yun Juicy Pork Buns at Shanghai Yan Yun Dim Sum House (3755 Main Street, 604 873-8896).

I don't usually blog about restaurants that unless I remember to take notes and write down the prices, but I'll make an exception for the beautiful bowl I had on Friday at lunch at Cafe Lu Quan (1086 Kingsway, 604 875-8522).

Check out the beautiful bowl with noodles, sprouts, peanuts, pork, vietnamese spring rolls and nuoc cham:

Here's some Bali Thai (555 West Hastings Street in the Harbour Centre Food Court) photos that I promised a while back.
