Tiffins from Rubina Grill at Granville Island

Submitted by Roland on Sun, 02/23/2003 - 13:30

On Saturday, for $10 (tax included!) we bought a tiffin from Rubina Grill on Granville Island. Such a deal! For $10, you get a tiffin which is a stackable set of stainless steel metal tins. Not only do you get the tiffin itself, but the two tins are filled with rice topped with two entrees from Rubina Grill.

Yesterday, we enjoyed broccoli and mango and rice in one of the tins of the tiffin and tamarind beef with mushrooms and rice in the other. Delicious!

Barb's Year In Food 2002

Submitted by Barb on Thu, 02/20/2003 - 21:30

2002 has been an exciting year in food--lots of interesting experiences, new friends and revelations. Here are some of my thoughts about this past year.

More fresh, in season and local food--In recent years, I've tended towards enjoying local, in season produce. This year buying local really made an impact on my food buying and eating choices.

Caterina's Tea Recommendations

Submitted by Roland on Wed, 02/19/2003 - 21:44

Caterina's tea recommendations are great but I think she overlooked another local tea place, Herbal Republic. I am not a tea drinker (unlike Barb who drinks the stuff like it's going out of style) but I really love the rooibos tea from Herbal Republic.

Rooibos doesn't have caffeine unlike the tea that Caterina recommends but Herbal Republic also has traditional teas with caffeine that I think Caterina would like.

Ryan is cooking "Best of British" at Dubrulle's Pavilion

Submitted by Roland on Tue, 02/18/2003 - 18:44

One of our readers, Ryan, replied to our item about Dubrulle's Chef's Table at the Pavilion to say that he will be cooking Monday-Thursday March 17-20 which features the "Best of British".

We are intrigued because he aims to dispel the myths around British cuisine and British restaurants have received a lot of favourable press in recent years.

First Visit: Tiny's Cafe

Submitted by Roland on Mon, 02/17/2003 - 21:10

Tiny's (740 West. Hastings, 604 684-1037) is a Vancouver institution that has been serving food to downtown office workers, tourists and shoppers for several decades.

I tried it out today as part of my quest to discover the best lunch spots in downtown Vancouver.
