Air Canada: YVR to LAS Review (AC 1832)

Heading to Las Vegas, I decided to take a direct flight out of Vancouver International Airport. Last time I flew out of Bellingham, but I didn’t want to do that again as driving across the border is troublesome.

Air Canada had a good price and convenient times to board the plan in the morning. It boarded at 8:40 and took off at 9:20am. I was booked on  Air Canada 1832 in Economy class on a Boeing 767. It was operated by Air Canada Rouge, so the plane is newer, but it is a bit smaller.

It was busy at check-in before the flight, so I made sure to get my electronic boarding pass loaded onto my phone to skip the line.

The best ways to avoid waits is to only do carry on baggage and have

In the seat, there is one outlet for a computer or small device. I didn’t use it as the flight was pretty short.

Being 5’3 I didn’t mind the size of the seats, as I don’t take up too much space. The person beside me was a bit taller and his knees were pretty close up the the seat in front of him.

The overhead bins were a bit smaller, so they made me check in my bad free of charge as the wheels on my small suitcase didn’t fit comfortably into the bins. If you want to avoid checking in, make sure you have a compact suitcase.

The weather above was gorgeous with the rocky mountains.

We do get one complimentary beverage and I usually choose the tomato juice and it is scientifically proven to taste better in flight.

Overall, it was a good flight at a good price. It got me from Vancouver to Las Vegas with no issues. Landing and take off were smooth.

2017 Best of the City by Vancouver Magazine: Recap

Best of the City is a celebration to bring together the top winning restaurants from the Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards. The winning restaurants create a special dish to pair with one of the top category winners from their wine winners and craft beer winners.

It’s an amazing event as you get to taste the best foods, drinks and meet the amazingly talented chefs and producers behind each restaurant.

Similarly to last year, there were 10 booths that you can go to.

Of course I went to every single booth twice and maybe had too many drink with a few of my foodie friends.

Blue Water Café
Winner: Best Seafood

We were treated to Sturgeon Liver Mousse with Foie Gras and Green Apple. A delicious taster paired with Tasmania Premium Cuvée, which is a sparkling wine. Very refreshing and light choice for the start of the event.

Lufficio
Winner: Best Casual Italian/ West Side

Their Duck Ragu and Polenta paired with a rich red wine – Musella Valpolicella Superiorie Rispasso 2013. Duck and rich red wine is a perfect pairing. Very delicious.

Bufala
Winner: Best Pizzeria

We were treated to Pork Shoulder, beef brisket, bacon, ricotta and basil. The first beer pairing on the night with a North American IPA – Red Racer Super Stella IPA.

CinCin
Bronze: Best Upscale Italian

A sampling of their Spinach and Ricota Ravioli, poppy seed and lemon with brown butter and Soubise Sauce. A rich white wine – Monte del Fra Custoza Supiore DOC Ca’del Magro 2013.

Tableau Bar and Bistro
Silver: Best Casual French

On the plate was their Beef Tongue Rillete, horse radish, beetroot shaved and puree, salt caper and sauce vert. Haywire Gamay Noir Rosé 2015 was the pairing.

Bao Bei
Winner: Best Gastown/Chinatown

Deliciously cured Hiramasa, Kohlrabi, Pomelo, crushed panuts and fermented chili lemongrass dressing. This was paired with Laurenz V Singing Gruner Veltliner 2014, a medium white wine.

Prestons
Host Chef’s Selection

Oh hello. What is that? It’s a Dungeness crab, smoked shallot, gingered apple, house hot sauce, and lemon grass in a cheddar crispy shell. It paired with a Pilsner and German Style Lager – Le Trou du Diable La Pitoune.

Hawksworth
Best Upscale

Housed in a beautiful shell is their Scallop Poke, cucumber, jicama, meyer lemon, and pickled onion. A light white like Clos de Soleil Pinot Blanc 2015 was a good match. I am not a big fan of cucumber, so I felt like it over powered the natural sweetness of the scallops.

Maenam
Winner: Restaurant of the Year

One of my favourite items was the Palm sugar and spiced braised pork belly served with cilantro, fried shallots and fried garlic. Arrowleaf Pinot Noir, a light red wine was the pairing.

Cactus Club Café
Silver: Best Casual Chain

My favourite of the night was braised short rib and caramelized onion lasagna with tomato ragout, fontina cream, and cabernet reduction. Medium Red Wine – Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 was the pairing. Cactus Club Café is a pretty great chain restaurant as it’s my go to place for their happy hour menu.

Russian Standard Vodka

There was another booth with Russian Standard Vodka and they were creating cocktails throughout the night.

Final Thoughts

Overall, good picks for this event and it was great to meet up with old friends, try delicious food and wine for the best places in the city. Keep an eye open for next year’s event, as it will be a hot ticket in town for foodies.

Taco Bell Canada: Naked Chicken Chalupa

Taco Bell Canada just introduced the Naked Chicken Chalupa. It was available in the United States, but are slowly removing it from their stores.

Luckily, Canadians can still enjoy it for a limited time. The closest Taco Bell to Vancouver is one in Coquitlam, so it is a fair ways away from the city.

The Naked Chicken Chalupa has deep-fried chicken breaded and tossed with seasoning as the shell. Inside, there is shredded lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese and sauce. It has a nice spicy kick to it, which I enjoyed.

Every bite was very enjoyable. M couldn’t part with the naked chicken chalupa, so he decided to get another one. If you do pass by a Taco Bell, I would highly recommend the Naked Chicken Chalupa.

Las Tortas: Mexican Sandwiches in Vancouver

Las Tortas is a restaurant on Cambie Street that serves up Mexican cuisine as is known for their tortas – Mexican sandwiches. M and I were in the area and needed some dinner, so I thought we should stop here to grab a quick bite since I haven’t been here before and we are both huge fans of Mexican food.

Interior

The interior is small and decorated with movie posters. You order up at the counter and find your seat. We came here right after work, so it wasn’t busy at all.

Horchata and Mexican Cola

We got a drink each. I went with the horchata and it was good but a little gritty on the bottom from the almonds. Finding Mexican Coca-Cola is a joy as it tastes better as its made with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

Tortilla Soup

The tortilla soup comes in a large bowl, so M and I split this between us. The tortillas were hiding inside and got soggy by the time we dug in. I didn’t really like it.

Chorizo Con Huevo Torta

This torta has Mexican spicy sausage, egg, and veggies between the buns. It was a delicious blend of egg and sausage.

Carne Asada Torta

This was similar to the other torta, but it has grilled asada steak and Oaxaca cheese. This was our favourite of the 2 tortas. It is more meaty, but the jalapenos were a bit much for me.

Churro

Churros are made fresh and it is powdered with cinnamon and sugar on the outside. Too bad that it doesn’t come with dipping sauces.

Final Thoughts

Overall, it was a great place to stop by for a torta. I enjoyed the tortas, but the other items were a bit of a miss. They also have tacos, which I will have to come back for a revisit.

A&W Canada: All Day Breakfast

A&W Canada has just launched their All Day Breakfast across Canada. Most of their locations have started to transition towards All Day Breakfast, but not all of them have. They are expecting by mod-May that a majority of location will have All Day Breakfast. My friend and I were craving hashbrowns for lunch and decided to come here for some breakfast sandwiches.

Check out my review of A&Ws breakfast items from last year.

Their menu seems to be serving everything from their breakfast menu, not just a limited menu like another fast food competitor. Ah hem McDonalds.

I’m very impressed that they were able to make everything from their plated breakfast to their Mama Burger.

I got a sausage and egger in an english muffin. Also with a root beer and hashbrown on the side. My english muffin was a bit scorched, but it was still delicious and it wasn’t too greasy.

My cravings were satisfied and I’m glad I can get their hashbrowns any time.

If you’re ever looking for a quick all day breakfast, check out A&W.

2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring: Review

This week, we spent the time driving the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring. Be sure to check out my previous 2016 Accord Coupe Touring review, because there will be a lot of similarities.

Exterior

The 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring looks very similar to the other Accords of this generation. Whereas, other car companies go out of their way to show the “greenness” of the car by making it look gaudy futuristic, the Accord just has a nice Hybrid badge on the back.

The Accord has always been a bigger sedan than the Civic counterpart and you can definitely feel it when you’re parking. It fit in the garage quite uncomfortably too tight, which was interesting as the CR-V didn’t have any issues.

Nevertheless, I think it’s a good looking car, sporty enough and moderate enough to fit the general car consumer.

Interior

The interior of the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid is similar to the one from last year. There is still the physical ring as the speedometer, but it is now surrounded by a LED display, showing the charge of the battery and fuel. I wish they went full digital to be honest, but it’s a good balance.

Apple Car Play and Android Auto are still present which is great, but the same performance issues I had with the 2016 Accord Coupe is very much present. The display takes a good couple minutes to boot up Apple Car Play when the iPhone is plugged in. This is disappointing!

It most likely is the same unit found in last year’s Accord because it has the big black bezel for the Home, Volume, Menu and Back buttons, which are useless and I’ve never had to touch.

The use of the second screen above the GPS is used for a digital clock as well as for camera displays.

The rear view camera and blind spot camera are both very handy for parking and minimizing any blind spots.

An awesome feature that I love in new cars.

 

The smooth leather seats were for some reason super comfortable in this model! There was a lot of plush cushioning, that it might be my favourite car seat of all time! I also appreciated that there was rear seat heating.

Drive

Being a Hybrid, this car starts eerily quiet. Except for the noisy beeps it makes on start up, there is no engine ignition.

The 2017 Accord Hybrid Touring has a computer that dictates when the car will shift between 3 different Hybrid modes: Regular engine, Hybrid, and full EV. There’s also a button near the automatic gearbox that lets you toggle EV mode manually. I’ve found overall, the Hybrid computer is very finicky.

If you sneeze at the EV Mode, it’ll usually change to a regular engine immediately. You can’t initiate EV mode until you’ve been driving for a few minutes, as the Engine must be warm. EV mode can also be turned off by flicking on the AC.

The longer you drive the car, the easier I found to get the car to switch to EV mode and start using those electric motors. Nonetheless, I found myself pressing the Sport Button to get a more fun drive with snippets of EV mode to save a little bit on gas.

The cornering of this car definitely feels like an EV sedan, with a lot of weight and sliding. I think I prefer the Civic or the Accord Coupe handling a lot more. I think I used 50% less gas in the week than I do on my 2012 Honda Civic, so make of that as you will.

Final Thoughts

Just like the 2016 Honda Accord Coupe Touring, the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring has the problem “Who is this car for?” This isn’t for the full crazy hybrid car lover, as there are other EV options today for the same price. It isn’t for the budget concious consumers, this being an Accord trim and a Hybrid car. It isn’t for those who like luxury cars.

The 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring was great to drive for a week, but I think the car would drive me crazy in a year. The start up beeping noise and the feeling of randomness from the Hybrid computer gets annoying quickly. That being said, I’ve never driven a huge variety of Hybrid cars so who knows what the standard should be.

In Bubble Tea

Chatime Kerrisdale: Now Open in Vancouver

Chatime locations are slowly popping up all over Vancouver and in the subburbs. Their newest location that just opened in Chatime in Kerrisdale.

They are having their soft opening right now, but on March 10th till the 12th, they will be having their grand opening, where they are having a buy 1 get 1 free promotion, where the free drink is either Pearl Milk Tea or Grass Jelly Roasted Milk Tea.

I go to Chatime quite often as it’s my go to bubble tea shop in Vancouver. I always go with my usual order – Roasted Milk Tea with Grass Jelly, half sweet and less ice. This time around, we tried 5 different drink combinations to explore more items on their menu.

Interior

On the right side is where you put in your order and then wait till its ready.

There are a few tables in the front, but there are more chairs and tables in the back to enjoy your bubble tea and spend time with friends.

Butterfly Pea with Grapefruit Juice

We got this drink regular sweetness and regular ice. Butterfly pea is been brewed in teas dating back centuries while providing numerous health benefits. These flowers are known to act as anti-oxidants, increase blood circulation, help you sleep and promote skin health. The natural blue colour of the drink will magically change colours as the acidity level changes.

 

The name was inspired due to the shape of the flower and its glamourous blue-violet colour, resembling a butterfly.

The tea itself isn’t very strong, but the grapefruit juice balances really well with this drink. I can see it being a great drink to get once the temperature starts rising in Vancouver.

Oolong Tea Mousse

Oolong tea mousse was made with half sugar and regular ice. I like the variety of tea with the delicious salty sweet mousse on top. Similar to another bubble tea chain in town.

Pretty good drink, but I would get it with less ice.

Hazelnut Milk Tea + Coffee Jelly

We got this with no sugar and less ice. I’ve never had hazelnut milk tea before and it was good with the coffee jelly. Surprising combination.

Kumquat Lemon Juice + Aiyu Jelly

It has regular sugar and regular ice. They use fresh kumquat when available, but due to it being a seasonal fruit, real fruit syrup may be substituted. It was refreshing and tangy.

Aiyu jelly is a jelly made from the seeds of various figs that is found in the mountains of Taiwan. Aiyu jelly is usually served with honey and lemon juice as well as fruit tea. A good combination.

Strawberry Au Lait + Pudding

This last drink has regular sugar. It is made with blended strawberry syrup, coconut jelly and milk, then topped with more coconut jelly. On the bottom, there is pudding added.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the bubble tea is pretty consistent with some of the other locations and bubble tea is just delicious. If it’s your first time here, I would suggest my favourite drink – Roasted Milk Tea with Grass Jelly, half sweet and less ice. I always love getting milk tea as it’s a great benchmark to see how their drinks compare to other companies.

Jif Peanut Butter comes to Canada

Jif Peanut Butter launches in Canada on March 6th! Coincidentally, it is also National Peanut Butter Lovers Day too. Great timing.

Along with the peanut butter jars, they also are introducing on-the-go sized products. A great idea to make peanut butter and their chocolate flavoured spread portable. They sent me a few items to give it a try.

I made myself a peanut butter, chocolate and banana sandwich for a snack.

Peanut butter on one side and then chocolate on the other side. It’s actually been a while since I’ve had peanut butter, but it sure brought me back memories of being a kid.

It was surprisingly good. I should make these sandwiches more often as a snack. Peanut butter is a pretty versatile product especially in banking. Perhaps peanut butter cookies should be my next creation.

Black Milk Water: Coffee Shop in Coquitlam

Black Milk Water Coffee and Dessert is a new cafe that opened up on North Road between Burnaby and Coquitlam. This cafe is located on the bottom floor hidden in the left corner of the plaza.

Interior

The interior has an industrial look to it with the cement, steel and wood textures. Lots of seats and the space is quite open.

It wasn’t too busy here, so it was easy to find a seat in the middle of the day on a weekend.

Matcha Frapp

Matcha Frapps come in a plastic cup, but if you want it in a glass jar, you can ask them ahead of time.

The matcha frapp was good and a great treat. Very cold, but it is a bit icy once you drink most of the liquid.

Duo Cups

They have these duo cups where you can have 2 different iced coffees. I had a iced vanilla latte and mocha. When you need 2 boosts of caffeine, this is for you.

Cappuccino

The cappuccino hit the spot and it’s made with Timbertrain coffee beans. A taste of the downtown coffee shop in the subburbs.

Final Thoughts

It’s a pretty solid coffee shop, but their dessert selection could be a bit larger. With other desserts and coffee shops in the same plaza, there’s definitely some competition. I find that most coffee shops are super crowded on the weekends, so if you are looking for an alternative, this might be the place for you.

Orion Soy Chicken Sauce Chips: Review

I was at HanNam Supermarket on North Road and these Soy Chicken Sauce Chip from Orion caught my eye. Orion is one of the largest food producer in South Korea and their most popular snack is Choco Pie.

It is on a ruffled chip. When I started sniffing these chips, it made me salivate. It was a little salty and a little sweet. The favour was like a sweet soy sauce with a hint of smokey BBQ.

Once I started eating these chips, I couldn’t stop. It is so addictive. Even my friend that bought the same chips as me loved these as well.

I would definitely buy these again. If you see them in stores, pick these up.

Benkei Ramen: Peko Ramen and Vegan Ramen in Vancouver

Benkei Ramen in Vancouver has always been innovating their ramen to cater to those who love authentic Japanese ramen as well as those with dietary restrictions. I was invited with a friend to try their new Peko Ramen as well as some other items off the menu. As my friend has a seafood allergy, they have a few vegan options.

Interior

The interior is nice with wooden walls and bamboo. The staff are nice and friendly.

Green Tea

Start off with a hot cup of green tea.

Housemade Gyoza

You can order it as a side portion with your ramen or a full order for the table. They only have a pork filled gyoza but are working on a veggie gyoza to add to their menu in the near future.

The pork gyoza was a good accompaniment with a hot bowl of ramen. Great to share with a friend too.

Peko Ramen

Their Peko Ramen is a silky milk broth made of tonkotsu broth, milk, shio-dare and brandy. The broth is very clean, rich and not oily at all. It wasn’t salty at all and with the amount of veggies in this bowl and the slices of lean chicken meat. I slurped up the bowl.

This is back for a limited time until March 31.

Black Vegan Ramen

For those with dietary restrictions, it’s hard to enjoy ramen. Benkei introduced their 2nd vegan ramen – Black Vegan Ramen along side their vegan miso ramen.

Vegan black is deliciously rich. The broth is made with rich vegetable stock, black sesame miso, and drizzle with coconut milk and roasted red pepper. The noodles are also eggless.

More Vegan Ramen

A sneak peek into another vegan ramen they are in the process of creating. They introduced this to me as their white vegan ramen, but they are still tweaking the recipe and name.

I really do appreciate how they are expanding their menu to those ramen eaters with dietary restrictions.

Sauce

Raw Garlic and chili sauce is available for free, all you have to do is ask for it. It’s helpful to enhance the broth if you are feeling its a bit bland.

Final Thoughts

Overall, Benkei Ramen has a lot more to offer than just their usual ramen. I’m impressed they are continually trying new ramen creations.

Hart House: Brunch in Burnaby

Hart House Restaurant has Sunday Brunch from 11am – 2pm at their beautiful heritage building. It’s a popular place to have dinner and a place to host weddings. They specialize in West Coast cuisine. There is a good amount of parking out front .

Complimentary bread

Fresh warm bread arrived at the table with jam and softened butter. A good way to start off the meal by nibbling on bread.

Daily Seafood Fritata

This is what my mom ordered and it comes with house potatoes, 2 pieces of fruit and bread. The choice of seafood that goes into this changes, but it should look somewhat similar.

Classic Eggs Benedict

It has back bacon on english muffins, topped with poached eggs and hollandaise. It is served with 2 pieces of fruit and house potatoes. You can add sides to it if you need a bit more to the meal. M added a sausage, but it was pretty small compared to the additional price of it.

The eggs benny was mediocre compared to the other items on the brunch menu.

Braised Veal Cheek Hash

The dish has two poached eggs, wild mushrooms, asparagus, truffled hollandaise, and toast. This dish was delicious and full of flavour. Melt in your mouth delicious!

Hart House Breakfast Sandwich

The sandwich has a fried egg, crispy pork belly, smoked cheddar, arugula, tomato, and spicy mayo. It is served with fruit and house potatoes.

The crispy pork belly pieces were absolutely delicious.

Drinks

Get got coffee and tea to go with our meals and it comes with refills of coffee and water.

Final Thoughts

Overall, Hart House had a good selection of brunch items, but some dishes were a bit basic.

2017 Honda CR-V Touring: Review

This week, we drove the all-new 2017 Honda CR-V Touring trim. The touring trim is the highest tier for the CR-V line, similar to the Civics. With this new year, the CR-V has finally caught up with last year’s excellent 2016 Honda Civic Touring.

Exterior

The CR-V has definitely always been almost the same size as a Sedan, but taller with more trunk space. The exterior of the CR-V Touring trim looks big in girth, but can still fit in a parking space made for sedans.

I think the 2017 CR-V Touring looks about as good as its older and more expensive brother, the Acura MDX. At first, I was iffy on the small grill below the Honda logo and shield at the front, but it has since grown on me.

The CR-V looks the best it’s ever been from past generations for sure, catching up to the aggressive sporty stylings, this generation of Civics have. The rims that come with the SUV can be divisive, though, as it looks a bit fat, instead of angry.

The back lights look great as well as the nice dual chrome exhausts. The CR-V definitely looks its part as a semi-luxury SUV. The LED lights are amazing, and I can’t wait to buy a new car soon because once you go LED, you can never go back.

The trunk door is fully electronic both opening and shutting, which is awesome!

Interior

The luxury of the interior of the CR-V Touring had me floored! The leather inside has super plush perforated leather, with great leather accents along the door and at the front. Nothing inside feels cheap.

The luxuriousness extends to the panoramic moon roof, which stretches from the front to back. We kept the cover off the entire time we had the CR-V and it was amazing for natural lighting while driving.

The short stubby transmission gear shift is now a full fledged one that screams control and luxury. There is no longer a foot parking brake, and now it’s fully electronic! The speedometer of the CR-V is finally fully digital LCD, exactly the same as last year’s Civic Touring, which was amazing!

The steering wheel’s leather feels exactly like the Acura MDX, a soft and smooth leather. The CR-V Touring also comes with a heated steering wheel. Although the wheel got pretty uncomfortably hot quickly, it’s great with short bursts driving to work in cold weather.

Finally, the excellent touch screen dashboard is in the CR-V along with Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Check out my previous reviews on how amazing the Apple Car Play is.

The back seats have heated seats, with the controls right below every window control at each car, with 3 heat settings. The back seats have A LOT of room and headspace as well as 2 USB ports. This is probably the best backseat of an SUV I’ve been in. There seems to be a lot more trunk space than previous generations and it would satisfy anyone looking into getting an SUV for trunk space.

Drive

Everything about the 2017 Honda CR-V Touring has been positive until we get to the driving feel of this SUV. Although the CR-V has a turbocharged engine with 190 horsepower, it uses a very similar engine as the Civic. However, because the CR-V is all wheel drive and probably considerably heavier, the engine feels very weak.

The CR-V has Honda’s excellent CVT transmission but lacks the flappy gearbox semi-manual control that the Civic Touring has. In fact, the Sport mode of the CR-V feels very lackluster, with no button, but an option on the transmission box itself.

The steering feel of the SUV feels great, but you have to get used to doing wider turns than a sedan, otherwise you might go over a curb.

Although the CR-V feels weaker in terms of power (even more so with Econ mode on), the gas mileage of the SUV is actually very good. I average 9.4 L/100km which is very similar to my 2012 Honda Civic.

Final Thoughts

The 2017 Honda CR-V Touring is a steal at $38,090. I made a prediction of how much this SUV would cost, and I guessed $40k. The CR-V finally feels more luxurious than past generations and the panoramic moonroof is just the bee’s knees.

I’m glad Honda is moving the touchscreen with Apple Car Play to all of its models. However, there’s always a couple features missing here and there between Honda models. For example, the CR-V Touring has no right merge camera, but the Civic, Accord and the Fit both do. There are right and left turn blind spot indicators which are nice. The rearview camera is great, but I found got easily blurry in rainy weather.

Overall, if you’re looking for an SUV under 40k, the CR-V should be at the top of the list!
