Food Recs (Vancouver, BC)

If you like Cantonese cuisine, this post is for you! 

Recently, I visited Canada and ate a lot of great food. Here are some recommendations if you ever decide to visit Vancouver:

1. Lido Bakery - 4231 Hazelbridge Way

This bakery is known for their Hong Kong style breakfast. This includes popular foods like pineapple buns with butter, rice porridge, milk tea, and more. In my vlog, I ordered porridge, an egg tart, a pineapple bun (without butter), and a yuen yeung (yeen yerng). This drink includes both coffee and milk tea together, it's very delicious. 

2. HK BBQ Master - 4651 Number 3 Rd

At HK BBQ Master, you'll have to try the different meat rice plates. My favorite was the duck. The bbq pork called "char siu" I also worth trying. It's very tender and sweet. 

3. Bubble Waffle Cafe - 4151 Hazelbridge Way

Located in the food court of Aberdeen Mall, Bubble Waffle Cafe offers a lot of different snacks. My go to order has always been a iced lemon tea, curry fish balls, and fried intestines. The intestines may not be for everyone, but to those who have never tried it, I would describe it as a crunchy outside skin with a chewy savory inside. 

4. Double Double Restaurant - 4600 Number 3 Rd unit 128

This restaurant is a pretty basic Cantonese restaurant. I would recommend trying the "bak fan yu" or fried tiny noodlefish. Honestly, you can't even taste the fish but it's very crunchy and goes well with rice. Also worth trying is the long Chinese donuts with rice porridge. 

5. Rice Holic - 8700 McKim Way unit 2178

Mango lovers you HAVE to try this place. Rice Holic sells mango mochi the size of half a mango. In one whole slice, the mango is covered with a basic mochi wrap. Visit this place earlier in the day to have fresher mango!

That's all for my Canada food recs for now, leave a comment if you like or want to try Cantonese cuisine!
