Hello Nori Signature @parkroyal has all the deliciousness of the OG Hello Nori plus the addition of some really delicious dishes from their charcoal grill and more. I went by to check out some of their tried and true hand rolls as well as their new signature items and I 11/10 cannot recommend it enough. Everything was just top notch and there was no misses. 😋 #japanesefood #parkroyal #vancouverfood #yvreats #vancouverbc #vancouverfoodie #westvancouver *hosted
Spring has arrived @beaucoupbakery! Their new cher Spring has arrived @beaucoupbakery! Their new cherry Blossom Collection is part of @nomsmag Vancouver Cherry Blossom Food Fest and features so many delicious new treats including: 🍠 Sweet Potato Mochi Croissant 🍡 Dango Croissant 🍰 Ichigo Strawberry Croissant 🍵 Matcha Sesame Melon Pan 🌸 Sakura Melon Pan 🍓 Sakura Strawberry Cake 🍫 Sakura Chocolate Bar I got to try all of them and let me tell you they are excellent! From flavour to presentation, every item was on point. Stand outs for me are the sweet potato mochi croissant (but if you know me I’m super biased), dango croissant and the matcha sesame melon pan! Melon pan is new to the Beaucoup menu and they knocked it out of the park. The bun is so soft and fluffy and the cookie crust on top is the perfect texture. 👌🏻 All of these treats are available now until April 27! #sakura #cherryblossom #dessert #vancouverfood #yvreats #yvrfood #vancouverbc #nomsmag (media)

One of my favourite Korean restaurants in Vancouve One of my favourite Korean restaurants in Vancouver is having a 20% off thank you promo until February 27 (25% off for take out)!! @suravancouver and @surarichmond consistently delivers excellent high quality Korean dishes and now you can enjoy it at a discount. I love Sura Richmond for their bbq because it always comes with so many side dishes like steamed egg, spicy beef salad and more. The meat quality is excellent and the service is very friendly. This offer is only available Monday to Thursday and their famous lunch special does not qualify for the discount. The discount is applicable to food and alcohol so it’s a great time to enjoy Sura for an amazing price. #koreanfood #vancouverfood #yvreats #yvrfood #vancouverbc #kbbq #koreanbbq
