Just My Rambling

A little overdue but continuing from Part 1:

After a smooth border crossing, we headed straight to Richmond, a suburb south of Vancouver. The Asian population is very large and that means lots of great authentic food. Currently Richmond is more popular for its Asian cuisine than Vancouver’s Chinatown which is one of the largest chinatown in North America.

First we went to Kirin, our favorite restaurant for dim sum. Unfortunately it was fully booked. We had to make a reservation for the next day and went in search of another dim sum restaurant. Fortunately there is no lack of dim sum restaurants nearby. We ended up in Sun Sui Wah for these yummy dim sum.

The dim sum was pretty good but I think I still prefer the ones at Kirin. Sun Sui Wah is more famous for the dinner menu which includes Alaskan King Crab and Roasted Squab.

After filling our tummy, we went to downtown Vancouver. It was so crowded!! Maybe it’s due to the awesome weather, it seems like the entire Vancouver population were out! We decided to skip downtown and went over to Stanley Park. Stanley Park is so huge with lots of activites.

We had to bribe Lil’ C to leave Stanley Park because she was having too much fun. We then headed back to Aberdeen Centre in Richmond for my favorite shopping stop - Daiso and some yummy desserts!

The trip ended with more restaurant hunts for yummy food. Hey, what can I say, we love food!! See here, here, here and here for more food details.
