waffle gone wild: a snack? nope a full meal.

after experiences at neros, waffles have become all the rage in vancouver and with a social shopper in hand for $12 including 2 drinks and 2 waffles waffle gone wild was mom and i's next food destination.

japanese matcha latte ($3.75): delicious and not too heavy or sweet but missing that pretty design

3.5/5

passionfruit slush ($4.75): looking back, probably a bad choice since it was winter time but it was tasty albeit a bit icy (it is a slush though)

3.5/5

original liege with ice cream and berry sauce (~$4): we went with the original waffle because all the flavour combos allowed for our voucher had loads of whipped cream but no ice cream. so for $1.99 + $1 + $.50, this was a fresh baked waffle as our ice cream started melting off right away! we had to have dessert before our "meal" but thats okay, it was so light and delicious! 

4.5/5

black forest ham and cheese ($5.99): with a mini salad, this was PACKED with ham and the savoury actually complimented the waffle very well! it wasn't too salty and the two of us couldn't finish both halves…but we decided that sweet waffles are our preference (: 

4/5 

overall: their menu is larger now (delayed post of course) and their waffles are quite different from neros as they only have liege but they are chewy but light at the same time! 

sushiful: best in taste, value and service!

sushiful is a tiny place on kingsway that serves up some amazing food at a great price with the kindest service i've experienced. they care about their customers and are just two guys that started a business together hoping to bring good food to this area. 

ive been here only twice and can honestly say i'm in love with it. 

they have a whole list of special rolls as well as the ones made popular by sushi garden/town joints but are made carefully with very fresh fish. 

visit 1: 

complimentary miso soup 

dynaska roll ($5.95): this is the alaska roll but instead of avocado on the inside, they use prawn tempura. very tasty and the sauce on top is money. 

4.5/5

alaska roll ($3.95): same flavours as sushi garden BUT much nicer in terms of appearance and the quality as well. avocados are perfectly ripe (not overripe like others) and the slices of salmon ontop are ACTUAL slices. also, they use less rice! 

5/5

spicy salmon roll ($2.95): very generous with the salmon inside but i feel like it could have used more spicy sauce. 

4/5

house roll: ($4.50) the most disappointing roll just because the crab meat didnt have mayo in it but otherwise its pretty packed for a good price! 

3.5/5

 visit 2:

alaska roll (as good as last time!) 

1/2 order spicy salmon sashimi ($5.70): very generous portion (as seen by the picture below for perspective) with the sweet and spicy sauce that i love! 

5/5

overall: the best sushi place...just go. warning though, it's a tiny place but the wait is worth it. 

famoso neapolitan pizzeria: groupon and good food makes a happy pizza eater

i dont stray away from asian cuisine that often but with groupons in hand, i would explore all of vancouver! famoso neapolitan pizzeria is one of those cases and turned out to be a lovely treat! 

pizzetta with a side of soup (lunch special) ($12)

peking duck pizza: this was creative and so delicious. a thin crust with a sweeter hoisin sauce base and shredded duck with cilantro and green onions this pleased my asian-preferred palate immensely. it was great and i loved it.

5/5

tomato soup: the soup was so creamy and delicious but not too heavy either. a strong tomato flavour i loved it even though i'm not usually a fan of drinking my calories.

5/5

abruzzo ($14.95) : with spicy italian sausage, mushrooms and red onions, this was our classic italian pizza to try and it was good but the tomato sauce was a bit weak in my opinion and made the crust soggier than i prefer. it was really tasty though! 

4/5

pizzetta italian ham and crushed pineapple (or essentially a hawaiian pizza) ($7): my dad is kind of boring so we ordered this for him to be able to eat when he got home from work but it was quite good! nothing special about it but a good pizza. 

3.85/5

overall: a great meal with my mom on a sunny day. we don't venture outside of asian foods often but she LOVES thin crust pizza with that burnt bottom and crispy perfection over deep dish and greek style so we both enjoyed this!
