Happy Chinese New Year!

Barb and I celebrated last night with a traditional dinner at her parents' home. Now we are off to dim sum.

If you are in Vancouver tomorrow, please check out the Chinatown parade from 12-3p.m. along Pender and Keefer Street.

If you are planning on eating at Dine Out Vancouver 2003, here's a tip for Lumiere: Get there before they open. Since they don't take reservations and they open at 5:30, you need to get there at 5:15 or sooner so you can be in the first seating.

The best ever! Check out my report on Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2003.

Rumor has it that Krispy Kreme's first Vancouver store is now open in Downtown Vancouver at Dunsmuir and Granville. Please let us know what you think!

I personally prefer non chain stores like Honey Doughnuts and Goodies in Deep Cove (4373 Gallant Avenue, North Vancouver, 604 929-4988).

Todd Wong sent us his latest Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2003 PR email so we decided to consolidate all of our material including the PR email into a single Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2003 story. Check it out! Also check out AsianCanadian.net's coverage of Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2003. See you on Saturday at the dinner!

We received the following information in an email from Hazelmere Organics:

Ryan our reader and Dubrulle student, is looking for Friday food related field trip ideas. If anybody can help Ryan out, please let us know.

When we made our reservations for Dine Out Vancouver tonight, we were shocked to find out that alot of the participating restaurants were already almost fully booked.

So, to avoid disappointment, make your reservations as soon as you can! [Of course, we have no interest in promoting the event or any of the restaurants; we are just interested in good food at a good price:-) !]

We8There.com is a website that features reader submitted restaurant (and hotel and B'nB) reviews from a service point of view. The site also features recipes and food discussion forums.

Personally, we think the food is the number one thing, but service is important too! Check out the site: it has reviews from around the world including Vancouver!

Todd Wong pointed out that the number we listed for the Flamingo restaurant site of this year's Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner is wrong. It is 604 877 1231. Our apologies for the confusion! We have corrected our original Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2003 item.
