Trying Recommendations: Lin's Chinese Cuisine, Chatime

The new first year dorm at UBC, called Orchard Commons, has such good food in comparison to my first year dorm D: seriously not fair.

This was a Mexican rice bowl, which was soooo good. I loved tbe fresh avocado and the pico de gallo. Simple and delicious.

Despite not being a total fan of Chinese food, I still had a few dumpling places left on my list, like Lin's Chinese Cuisine. I thought this place wasn't half bad. Their menu is gigantic, and everything my family and I ordered was rich in flavor and unique. I probably have to come back again to try even more things.

Cheshire Cheese Inn and Kingyo!!!

Brunch day with my squad! :) They had such good food, oh yes. I just got some eggs Benedict, but I also took pictures of other stuff. Pretty basic brunch menu, and the quality is there.

I loved Kingyo, it was so good. Everything kit surprised me, and was so flavorful. Their vegetarian options are also really good.

This looked really simple, but I just had to have some. So many people were getting it that I got tempted. The seasoning is sweet soy sauce, and most likely mirin? Super delicious.

My pizza buddy here got the Dan Dan noodles.

This is tomato kimchi!! I love kimchi, and they made it even better by adding seaweed sauce and tomatoes. Their kimchi is not exactly like any other kimchi I've had. Definitely worth a try, especially if you love kimchi like me.

Ironically, I recommended the chicken karaage to Mr. Pizza Dude, even though I'm vegetarian haha. I think I've had it once in my life, and I can't say that it wasn't good. My brother also loves it. They served it with imported salt (fr Utah?) And pepper.

This salad was also really yummy, aw yes. I know it doesn't look like much, and it isn't....which is good because I can order other stuff :) the avocado definitely made everything really good.

They were having an anniversary, so this mango cocktail was on anniversary menu, where featured items are cheaper than usual. I shared this with Pizza Guy. The mango was smooth and,s and the calpis was a delicious aftertaste.

This is him, photo bombing, as usual.

Moderne Burger, La Taqueria, Lennox Pub

Found the time to catch up with friends and enjoy some good eats :)

I got to revisit La Taqueria :D they have authentic tacos, they're vegan friendly, and the staff and environment I quite cheerful. They're happy to answer any questions :)

Word of advice, take a lot of napkins because this stuff is super messy. Also, don't overload your tacos with the extra stuff; it takes away from the foundation (imo), and everything starts falling out.

Sankiupo put a lot of extra stuff, lol

Pizza guy and I tried Moderne Burger for the first time. The place is super retro and neat. I liked the veggie burger here. In comparison to others, it's definitely one of the better veggie patties I've tried, but still doesn't beat Flipside or Kaboom Box. The fries are really good here, nice and crispy! Yas

I also went to Lennox pub to eat and catch up with friends. It's quite pricey here; food and drinks add up pretty quickly. Surprisingly, I found some vegetarian options on the menu, and they weren't half bad. Just too pricey for the quality.

These are called cigars, which are filled with beans and Chipotle dip. It was quite good, nothing too amazing but nothing was horrible either.

This was classic comfort food for me, oh yeeesss; baked potato skins. They still leave a chunk of potato, which tasted really good with everything else.
