Red Rooster Encore
 |
So, after being disappointed with my first excursion at Red Rooster but only having tried a very small sample size of their menu with the Fish and Chips, I knew I wanted to go back and try more of their food. This time I was out to get pizza and feed the friends coming over. I now this isn't a specialty item still (chicken is their thing) so I'll probably go back again one more time before I'm done haha.
|
So we ordered 3 pizzas. A chicken, a meat lover, and a Hawaiian. This was the first time we had a meat lover pizza since there are very few halal pizza stores around this area, and we were stoked. |

Shawarma/Donair from Babylon Cafe
 I was in downtown with MooseMan last week while when he had some business to take care of when we suddenly felt hungry and decided to have some shawarmas, or as they are more commonly known here, donairs. Now, this was pretty impromptu and I didn’t have my camera with me while we ordered out food for take out, and so I didn’t get any photos of the outside or the interior of the place, but I’ll try and create a feel for what I felt while I was there. I did get photos of the food though. Anyhow, we decided to drop by Babylon Café, one of the first few halal shawarma shops we found out about many many years ago and have been going to since. |

Bummer Dinner (fish n chips) at Red Rooster
 |
I suddenly had a hankering for fish and chips around 4 pm today and I tried to convince my parents to venture out to Steveston so we could have Pajos, but there is no convincing them out of their lazy Sunday afternoon state of being and so it was a lost cause. So then I made plans to hit up Pajos with my brothers and MooseMan and his brother, but turns out Pajos was closed by the time we decided to go. And so MooseMan and I attempted to decide on another food spot.
We went through a list of names and finally settled on Red Rooster. Why Red Rooster? Well, because there is a very apparent shortage of Halal restaurants in Richmond and when one does open up, word of mouth contagiously spreads the message around in the Halal-eating community. And Red Rooster opened up 9 days ago and is Halal so naturally, we were going to try it out. |

Stephos – Inexpensive Staple of Downtown
 |
| It had been a long time coming. Ying had been wanting to make yummy in her tummy courtesy of Stepho’s for a few days now and we finally went there a few Mondays ago. Located in downtown Vancouver, Stepho’s is characterized by budget friendly prices, long line-ups, and calamari dinners. It is also one of the few unexpected places that serve halal meat so Nabs can eat meat here. In fact, Nabs can even have the calamari here! We know what you’re thinking and we were thinking the same thing too. With all that Stepho’s has going for it, how could we not have been here already?? As a matter of fact, the last time any of us visited here was probably 1.5-2 years ago and a lot can have changed in that time. So Nabs, being unsure whether they still had halal meat, was hesitant to go. In the end, we convinced him to tag along, promising that we would find out if it’s halal once we got there. Stepho’s is located on Davie street and if you’ve ever driven down this street, you know parking can be a headache and costly before 10 pm. Fortunately we were headed here after 9:30 pm so we managed to find parking just 2 minutes walk down from the restaurant. Beware, don’t try to be clever and park at the shoppers across the street, walk around in shoppers, then exit and go to Stepho’s. Nabs’ friend got ticketed like that. |

Indian X Chinese = Green Lettuce
 |
| We've been to Green Lettuce several times now, at least three times for dinner a couple of times for lunch in the past 6 months, and it has become one of our most frequented restaurants in Vancouver. It's not the most easily accessible restaurant for us on an given day as it is located at Kingsway and Victoria Drive but every time we have wanted to come here the drive has not impeded our desire in any way. Their other location is in Surrey and none of us have ever been there. This unique restaurant stands out because it serves Chinese dishes infused with Indian spices; in fact, it was the first fusion restaurant of its kind in the Lower Mainland. Since its opening, several other Chinese/Indian fusion restaurants have popped up, mostly in Surrey, but Green Lettuce still holds its own very well against its competition. The best part about this place is that the cooks and the servers have spent time in India and China and hence the food here is an interesting authentic mix. Heck they are able to fluently converse in Chinese or Hindi or Urdu! Just try them! The next best part about this place is that Nabs can eat almost every dish on the menu (Halal), whereas other places we are always on the hunt for Nabs-friendly dishes. |  贵宾阁 – VIP Club?
