INSTASTUFF

Amongst giants
It’s been a year and I’m so tired of this Covid reality. Needed a night out to celebrate amazing and eat flavours far out of the realm of what I can achieve at home. The added bonus is that @published.on.main is in the heart of my East Van ‘hood that I took a chance on moving to 15 years ago.
A meal from a few weeks ago, but I can’t stop thinking about the rich indulgent “Canadien” flavours from @stlawrencerestaurant Cabane à Sucre. The tourtiere (as always) exceeded my expectations and I was so happy to have taste of foie gras on my palate. It was also more meat than I’ve eaten in a long time and I loved it. Takeaway this incredible lifts me out of my “wish I could dine in more often” blues, although I have mixed feelings about the Habs flag 😉
Thankful to start the New Year with an osechi prepared for me by my parents. While I wish I could have shared our traditional Bando お正月 (New Year’s) feast together with the whole family, it was nice to start the year with the flavors of home.
Without travel for almost a year, it’s easy to be sad about all the places I didn’t get to travel to in 2020. But I’m lucky enough to live in a place where I’m able to savor flavors that remind me of my favorite places. Love the amazing tastes @potluckyvr that whisk me back to the street stands and hawkers markets of SE Asia with every dish
Friday night aperitivi while waiting to pick up the best (vegan) pizza in town. Not many things I love about 2020, but this Friday ritual, I cherish.
