Found another Vancouver-based lifestyle e-zine with a good cross section of local restaurants and reviews:

Hi Everyone!

There's a new Mexican restaurant called Cantina Mexicana (Mexican Kitchen) at No.6 and Mayfield Place (it's on the left driveway at the end of Mayfield).  They have authentic home made style Mexican dishes such as flotas, sopa de torillas, tortas, and even seafood (mariscos).  The average price of a dish is $5 and it's well worth it.  The owner Carlos is from Mexico.  Tell him Felix sent you!  They are open from 7-4pm Mon-Thurs, until 10pm on Fri and Sat and closed on Sundays. 

[EDITOR'S NOTE:

According to jack and jill dine out, Cafe Asia has closed. I will miss them. Cafe Asia was the only place in the city (as far as I know) that served Filipino (and other Asian) food in a true restaurant style. I love the many cafeteria style Filipino restaurants in Vancouver, but sometimes it's nice to be waited upon.

If you know of a non cafeteria style Filipino restaurant, please leave a comment.

Thanks for all the well wishes! Baby is fine and I am raring to blog!

One of our readers has posted many disrespectful comments about my posts about my reports on my UBC Chinese Culinary Art Classes at the Golden Great Wall Szechuan Restaurant and the Golden Szechuan Restaurant.

Healthy. 1:50a.m. Saturday. More soon at www.barbandroland.com. Won'be much blogging here until about April 12th.

Wonder if the Chinese Mirch is better than Green Lettuce and the other Indo Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. I doubt it.

Much as we'd love to support this great cause, we probably won't be able to make it because we'll be tending to our soon to be born baby.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

An amazing directory of restaurants in the lower mainland and across Canada. Only lists basic address information and mapquest maps, though. Still it's a handy site. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Thanks Ken!]

Our latest stop in the "go out as much as possible before the baby is born" tour was the Au Petit Cafe (4851 Main St., 604 873-3328).
