Stop #9: Vancouver, Canada

Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant
I called it “dim sum on steroids.” The dumplings were huge! But the good news is that it had no MSG, not very salty, and not greasy. Instead, it tasted so fresh, so juicy, and so natural. All dishes came with different sauces separately. You can add it to your own liking. No grease attack feeling at the end of a Chinese meal! Now that is truly refreshing! And expect top notch service. It is top notch comparing to New York Chinatown if you know what I mean.

Beef Shu Mai. First time having this one actually and it was very good!!


Pork Shu Mai. Huge and tasty.


Pork and cabbage pan fried dumplings. Huge and tasty.


Har Gau (shrimp). Biggest har gau I have ever encountered. Shrimp was fresh!

Guu
They have many locations. I went to the one in Gastown. The atmosphere and the food were great. I really enjoyed eating there.

Deep fried eel with a poached egg on top. Never heard of or had that in my life. It was surprisingly good.


Tako Yaki (fried octopus balls). I have had many of those before, but this was the best ever!


Grilled Beef Short Rib. Juicy and tasty!


Keema Curry Bibimbap. It was so good, we ordered another one! It came with rice, curry sauce with minced beef, a raw egg and vegetables in a hot stone pot. The waiter mixed everything at the table. He then pressed the rice against the hot stone pot so the mixed rice could get more crispy and a little burnt. Good stuff!

Japadog
Street cart phenomenon! Those Japanese can get pretty creative with food!





Spicy Cheese Terimayo (jalapeno & cheese smokie, seaweed, Japanese mustard, and teriyaki sauce).


Okonomi (pork kurobuta, special okonomiyaki sauce, Japanese mayo, fried cabbage, and bonito flake) and Oroshi (pork bratwurst, special soy sauce, green onion, and grated radish).


Edamame. I would think they handmade this one since edamame is mixed in the bratwurst.

Kintaro (handmade Tonkotsu ramen)
This was some nice Japanese ramen. The noodle was chewy. The pork slices were huge and tender. Everything just melted in my mouth.
