Blue Water

We sat at the Raw Bar and got to see them make sushi all night :)


Seafood Tower - Two tiers of oysters, prawns, seared red tuna, smoked salmon jellyfish, scallops ceviche, clams and mussels


I love, love, love seafood!


Mmmm fresh oysters :)


The Dragon - Crispy prawns, barbecued eel, avocado & mirin mayonnaise


Hazelnut, ganache, passion fruit & caramelized bananas

Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar is located in Vancouver, BC. This was such a lovely restaurant, perfect for a date night. We sat at the Raw Bar so we got to see the very talented Sushi Chefs work their magic. Seriously, how do they cut the sashimi so perfectly? We ordered the Seafood Tower, which definitely didn't disappoint. The only downfall was when we finished all the food lol. Also, since we were sitting at the Raw Bar, we just had to try the sushi. We got the Dragon roll, and it was perfect. Finally for dessert, we had the chocolate banana ganache. I played rock, paper, scissors with Teddy to win but his choice of the Kalamansi Cheesecake sounded delicious too. Oh well, there's always the next time we're visiting Vancouver.
Side Note: Blue Water was voted Best Chef three years in a row & I can definitely see why :)

The Boathouse


Crab & Shrimp Melt - Crab, shrimp, aged chedder & basil tartar
Seafood Chop Chop Salad - Grilled wild salmon, shrimp & scallop

Teddy & I wanted to visit Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver, BC. We decided to walk along the beach and we found The Boathouse. The view was spectacular and the food was delicious & fresh. I love visiting places that make me feel like Lauren Conrad on The Hills lol, I'm such a geek, I know. Anyways, I kept saying the night before that we should get salads since we were eating so unhealthy on the trip. Well Teddy ordered a salad...and I did not. Lol who are we kidding, I'm just not a salad kinda girl. I love my food!

Roaming Dragon

Roaming Dragon is a gourmet food truck in Vancouver. They change their location daily, but on our way to Japadog, we were lucky enough to stumble across them. I like to think the Food Gods were on our side.

I love how they use so many different ingredients and only have 6 items on their menu.

It's always an adventure!

Vancouver Post Riot

My recent trip to Vancouver, I obviously wanted to see what downtown looked like after the riot. The city did a really good job cleaning the streets. The windows that were smashed are now replaced with boards, left with so many different messages. It's sad to see a city get destroyed over a hockey game when people around the world are fighting for freedom and human rights. Get your priorities straight people.

Shabusen

If you visit Vancouver, you must eat at Shabusen.
All you can eat sushi and the oysters are too delicious for words.
I definitely need to go back to Vancouver just to eat these oysters!

Are you drooling?

Gay Sharks

"Dolphins are gay sharks." -Glee
These photos were also taken at the Vancouver Aquarium.
It was kind of hard to shoot the motion of the dolphins
 but I like how the photos turned out.
Side Note: Dolphins are my absolute favourite =)
