Taking my parents to a pay-by-weight hot pot resta Taking my parents to a pay-by-weight hot pot restaurant.

Today I’m at Piping Hot (@pipinghot.bc) in Richmond with my parents so they can experience the pay-by-weight business model. 

Broths we chose:
🍲 3 delicacies: our bowl was around $30
🍲 Bone collagen: my parents bowl was $50 💀

Is it not a universal experience for everyone to go ham on their first pay-by-weight experience?

Loewe’s rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Wide selection if spicy and non spicy broths
- Toppings were all standard and looked fresh
- Love their deep fried section! 
- Taiyaki ice cream is unique but I found the brown sugar milk tea ice cream flavour to be too sweet

Today I’m at Jimmy’s Lunch Box (@jimmyslunchbox_) in Port Coquitlam. They are my favourite brunch spot in Poco! 

Must order:
🧇 Chicken n waffles ($26): Big chunks of fried chicken topped with egg and a sweet maple sauce
🥚 Eggs benny ($20-23): eggs are always poached perfectly. 

Loewe’s rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My hot tip: If you order hashbrowns as your side, ask for extra crispy 😉

Japanese wagyu at home 🥩 Today I am treating my p Japanese wagyu at home 🥩

Today I am treating my parents (and me lol) to a Japanese wagyu dinner at home, courtesy of Sen Fusion Market (@sen_fusion_market) in Richmond.

They import their wagyu directly from Japan and do wholesale for supermarkets and restaurants so you know the quality is legit 🤩 they carry:
	•	A5 Sendai Wagyu
	•	A5 Kagoshima
	•	A5 Yonezawa
	•	F1 Japanese Wagyu

Hot tip: If you want a specific cut, they can also customize your order for you.

Hot tip again: on weekends they have sashimi!

Cafe with good bread 🥖 Today I’m at Olivier’s Caf Cafe with good bread 🥖

Today I’m at Olivier’s Cafe (@olivierscafe) on Fraser to check out their new brunch menu (only available at this location). I am a fan of their build-your-own-sandwich for $15 because the bread is so good!

- Brunch menu is reasonably priced. Every item is under $14!
- Good selection of sweet & savoury pastries
- They are also popular for their croissants 🥐 
- Matcha here was pretty bland so I’d go with their coffee instead
- Fraser location is kid friendly

📍 Olivier’s cafe
3885 Fraser St, Vancouver, BC V5V 4E3

Lesson 6: The right partner can make anything fun.
Traveling can be stressful but with the right person, even a bad day could end up being fun. 

Hot tip: If you want to check out Kaumana cave you legit need a hard hat with a flashlight.

It’s bingsu season, baby 😙 Today I’m at Infinity It’s bingsu season, baby 😙

Today I’m at Infinity Cafe (@infinitycafeinc) in Surrey because my seasonal depression is over. They specialize in 3 things: coffee, matcha and bingsu 🍧

We ordered:
🥭 Mango bingsu ($19): Thinly shaved milk ice that’s not too sweet. Decent amount of mango.
🐟 Taiyaki ($13): Comes in 3 and you can choose a different filling for each one.

Lesson 5: Every now and then, do something that scares you.
As a beginner snorkeler, the idea of snorkeling at night to see manta rays did scare me but it was an experience I just couldn’t miss out on. What an amazing creature and how cool is it to be this close!! 
Pushing myself out of my comfort zone made me so proud of myself and I’m excited for more new experiences! 

Hot tip: Bring a T-shirt or wet top/jacket so you don’t feel peer pressured to rent one for $20 usd

Best short rib pho in Surrey? 🤩 Today I’m at Pho Best short rib pho in Surrey? 🤩

Today I’m at Pho Hung (@phohung.thehero) in Surrey, an unassuming authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Their menu has some special items that not every pho place has.

Loewe’s rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Must order: short rib and steak pho for $24! 🍲 This is such a steal because it comes with 2x short rib and steak meat for a protein heavy meal that can easily be shared between 2 people.
- Good for lunch: Banh mis! 🥪 Looking at $10-15 these banh mis are on the larger side and the bread is quite good.
- Pho sate: this one has a thicker and more “peanutty” broth. 🥜 I think I’ve had better pho sate elsewhere though.
- Lots of beverages and bubble tea options. 🧋

📍 Pho Hung
16033 108 Ave, Surrey, BC V2Y 1P2

Lesson 4: Remember to be in the moment instead of capturing it.
As a creator/influencer, I like to take a lot of photos and videos because I think it’s fun to document and share my experiences. But sometimes it’s very freeing to just be present and capture the memory with your eyes and mind.

Hot tip: I film while snorkeling with just my phone and a water bag 😂 I don’t recommend if you are a beginner snorkeler.

Sakura sips is back at Chatime 🌸 Today I’m at Cha Sakura sips is back at Chatime 🌸

Today I’m at Chatime (@chatimecanada) to try their 3 limited time drinks:

🌸Sakura Blossom Lychee Juice: Very fruity and refreshing!

🌸Sakura Blossom Peach Tea: made with real peach puree! A good blend of Jasmine green tea and fruit (not too sweet). I also love the tea jelly over pearls.

🌸Sakura Blossom Matcha Latte: light sakura crema cloud that doesn’t overpower the matcha

🌸Sakura Lychee Tiramisu

Available until June 7 at all Chatime locations in Ontario and select locations in BC, while quantities last. This was at the Brentwood Mall location.
