After creating the Le Big Mac N’ Cheese Burger back in September, CAVU Kitchen Bar just launches a new burger, incorporating the concept of surf & turf – The Baller.

I often go to the Kingsway location, because it is closer to my house and is more spacious.

Right Next to Hotpot Palace, there is another hidden gem that serves authentic Taiwanese pot and stir-fry dishes – JiangHu. It uses local ingredients to create some unique dishes that you rarely see in Vancouver. Recently, they launched a happy hour for late-night supper, which is best for any late night cravings out there, especially when everything closes early in Vancouver. This event is organized by Issabelle, the Community Manager of Yelp Vancouver, and I was so excited to be part of it. In addition, Feast: Asian Dining Festival also joined us for the night.
