Located at 590 Robson St. in Vancouver (map, phone 604-609-4567), close to downtown hotels and the famed Robson shopping district, is a Korean grocery store that is stock full of delicious Korean items – many without any English on the packages.

I cooked up some Kimchi Dumplings (a 380 gram bag cost $5.99), and served them with a bit of rice and brocolli. The result was delicious!

One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Burnaby. Reasonable prices, generous portions, excellent quality.

The “Awesome Roll” is a colorful explosion of basically a California Roll, topped with masago, miso flakes, and Japanese mayo. Highly recommended.

Ebi Sunomono Salad is a cold salad made with vermicelli noodles, a tangy sweet broth, slices of red cabbage and carrots, and lots of shrimp on top.

Chopped Scallop Roll is one of my favorites.
