little bitty girl

So I know that I am biased about this, but then again this is my blog so I can write whatever I want. My goddaughter is SO smart and has such a good appetite, much like me and her father. She gets SO hangry when it's meal time. I am glad that we have some similarities. So Marie and Bernie have been signing to her and she's learnt the most important sign (to me, at least) which is "more!" She knows other signs as well like "book" and "no more" but she's hilarious when she's eating.

Anyway, I have no idea why I haven't been doing this but I have not been taking pictures of the food I've been eating. I love coming to Vancouver because I get to eat stuff that I never get to eat in Toronto. Most of my friends here are foodies, not in the snobby sense but they share the same love for food as I do.

When we arrived, Bernie had bi bim bap waiting for us. I've always wanted to make this dish at home but Stefan never seemed interested in trying it. However, after having some of Bernie's, Stef asked me whether I can make it when we get back. For breakfast, Bernie made us champurrado which was so EXCELLENT.

After we went for walk to Granville Island, a great little place called Go Fish. It was a small shack that churns out great fresh seafood, served simply. I had a chipotle coconut fish chowder and fish (cod) and chips. The chowder was unbelievable, velvety with a fierce bite, perfectly cooked vegetables and huge chunks of white fish. I really want to learn how to make it when I get home.

We then explored a great food market on Granville Island. I must say exploring food markets is one of my favourite past times. Last night I had my first taste of a West Coast oyster and they really do taste different! It's a question I've been asking Marie but she wasn't sure.

Next post, I won't be such a tease and will have pictures. As for West Coast eating, I am with Ryo - more!
