Foodtastic Richmond Night Market
 |
| What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think Richmond Night Market? If you’re like most people I know, its food. Food food food. Some more food. A little bit of browsing, sprinkled with some shopping topped off with more food, followed by a little loitering and hanging out around some food. Ok ok, I’m sure you get the point haha! Well, the Yummy In Our Tummies crew was determined to make at least one visit to the Richmond Food Market, oh wait I mean Night Market to sample and eat some of the large variety of food available there. So here we were, trying to find something to do on a nice Vancouver evening. If you’re not a Night Market enthusiast, you might not know, but there are two locations of it in Richmond this year. The old one is in the same location as before with free admission but paid parking but the new one, where we were headed, is near River Rock Casino where parking is free but entrance is by a $1.00 fee. (Last I heard, the fee has gone up a few more cents). Word of mouth has it that the food stalls are more or less the same in both of the Night Markets so we don’t plan on going to the old one, but if we do and we find something different, you’ll be sure to hear from us. |

Quick late night meal at Cattle Cafe (牛仔餐厅)
 |
| It was indeed a quick meal at Cattle Café. Ying just got off at Richmond General Hospital post-call and felt extremely hungry because she did not have time to have dinner. It’s 11:30pm… Where should we go? So I drove down Alexander Road in Richmond and found that Cattle Café was still open. To my surprise, on a Thursday, there were quite a number of people in there… You can clearly see that a great deal of thought was put into this café. To start, this place looks modern and clean. The lighting is soft and comfortable to the eyes. Unlike most HK café that use generic napkins and cups, Cattle had their logo printed on everything. Just these little touches can make a dining experience a lot more amiable. |

Only 9 Dishes? (九道)
 |
| What a ridiculous busy week! The Yummy crews are totally behind on eating! Nabs and I have been working like dogs and Ying has been “studying” for her exams (aka facebooking – just kidding). Today, after Taekwondo, I decided to try Nine Dishes located on Kingsway. Why this place? No particular reason really... The bright red sign looks appealing I suppose and it's relatively close to my class. They serve Szechuan and Northern China style fusion food. Interesting concept. |

Bubble World (大頭仔) – Richmond
 |
| Bubble World or (大頭仔) is probably one of the most recognized bubble tea places in the lower mainland, with multiple locations in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster and Coquitlam. We’ve been to quite a number of their locations as well, but the Richmond branch seems to be most commonly visited one for us. This place is SUPER busy at night, often packed with teenagers hanging out with their friends. In fact, it’s turned us away several times with quotes of 30-45 minute waits. Anyhow, the Yummy crew met up with Turtle, Wei-Gor and Chank for some late night snacks and bubble tea. Turtle and Wei-Gor showed up first and managed to secure us a table within 10 minutes or so. Mr. Chank was working late, so they were showing up later. Bubble World is basically a typical Taiwanese place, serving various bubble tea and other beverages as well as set meals. Thus, there are two menus: the drink menu (see right picture) and the food menu (see above picture). They offer a variety of snacks, rice and noodle dishes as well as sandwiches and hotpots. With regards to drinks, there’s the typical flavoured red/green teas and milk teas as well as fresh fruit, ice cream as well as shaved ice. |

Post-sushi Bubble Tea: The New Best Dessert?
![297[9]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGOXHL4hcI_m1O4Hs-1XO4_HMhJgI3yKhgx0yt1V4mpv6Jj3HMf7AH4K3TyRb_hEi75VqXQWP5wngLLGyLjGr7_X-pC8W8ZkpFbB_YCdH-jeUH065b_PDJ97HG8OXjf5qs2JdSrzY7DgM/s1600-h/297%25255B9%25255D%25255B3%25255D.jpg "297[9]") |
| After we were done at Sushiyama, the three of us still surprisingly had room for dessert. This was surprising because firstly it was late at night and secondly because we had a rather large amount of food at Sushiyama. But we must have all really worked our brains because, darn, we consumed a lot this night haha. Anyhow, after recently having heard of a change in ownership at Green Leaf (a most disheartening news!) we were curious to see how it looks, if it was still busy, and if the bubble tea there was still good and so we set out to pay it a visit. When we got there though, we saw the place was completely deserted. The place was definitely renovated but there were no customers and the folks who worked there were sitting looking extremely bored. This is the first time we have seen the place empty! Needless to say, after a few moments of hesitation, we defected to L&G Bubble Tea House just a few steps south of here. A decision we do not regret. | ![295[10]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4ITYKQXvD77Tr9IC8I0PSPiu1K3awYv_BXbMUCenJW9I84uDi1cSVHWQYlnpVuxM0eIBiRc5nCHRxmh_pgWsgccQ3pE4GKa9WJCvqsG8_9ZoJhrYc1_AUlfLq2kyTyxbZ22PWtcot_IU/s1600-h/295%25255B10%25255D%25255B4%25255D.jpg "295[10]") |
Sushi Fix @ Sushiyama
 |
| After a long day of intense studying culminating in a midterm exam, and a long day in hell for Rich and a long day in a hospital for Ying, the Yummy In Our Tummies Crew was famished and looking to replenish its energy tank. Nabs was tasting Green Lettuce Beef Fried Rice, but Ying wanted to try another place called Chili Pepper House, and Rich was busy practicing his TKD skills after a shift in hell. The end result, was Sushiyama. Makes sense right? Yup, it does to us too (this is what happens when you're hypoglycemic, don't try this at home). And so we were headed to Sushiyama. |

Post DOV Snack: Burger King
As I had mentioned in my earlier post, because of the small portion sizes at Hapa Izakaya, the boys were still quite hungry at the end. We had heard that Burger King had recently revamped their fries, making them thicker (thicker than a No. 2 pencil according to the Americans) and have 20% less sodium compared to previously. We were eager to see how these fries matched up against the competitors. Plus, they were offering free small fries that day. We had already paid a premium price for our dinner (more than our usual dinners anyhow), so off we went to Burger King on Main St. and 1st Ave.

Late Night Dining at Congee Noodle House
 |
 |   |
| It was 12:30am but Ying and I were really hungry. She just finished cramming for her exam and I just finished watching her cram for her exam. Where should we go? This seems to be a recurring question and time after time, we end up going back to Congee Noodle House – a Chinese restaurant situated on Broadway and Main in Vancouver. It mostly offers Cantonese style dishes. Aside from congee and noodle, which they have a vast selection of, rice dishes and snack dishes are also available. I got there at 12:40am. Parking was plentiful and free! (You have to pay for meter parking during day time.) I felt a little insecure leaving my car outside as there were these dodgy lookingish people walking about. |
