Sushi Garden... always known for the "great value for the price and quick service" type of restaurant. You could almost always expect to get a big slab of sashimi (although not the best cutting)

My son Elliot is currently at the "terrible two" age, where he gets really picky about food. Making dinner for him becomes a huge headache for me, after multiple tests and trials, I realized

Our last dinner in Penticton, the Salty's is very close to the hotel we stayed and always seemed crowded, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered a steak and their most popular seafood curry, both tasted

Having been spoiled by Vancouver Japanese restaurants, I must admit I felt a little skeptical when entering this unremarkable sushi house for lunch. I ordered the beef donburi special with miso soup. To

Our first dine-out experience in Penticton is a very pleasant surprise. Such flavorful vegetarian place hidden in a small town like Penticton - healthy, delicious, unusual choice of food that made us feel

We checked Yelp and chose the most highly rated restaurant in Kelowna - Raudz for dinner. We got lucky that we didn't have to line up, but still spent a long time waiting for the food to arrive in the

I made lotus root spare ribs soup today - a classic Cantonese soup. Just put all ingredients into the Instapot pressure cooker and pressure cook for 40 minutes, the yummy soup is ready. Perfect for summer!

Tried this newly open Northern China style noodle place on Main Street. Their signature dish - lamb + hand pulled noodle seems like a really good deal on the menu ($8 per bowl). However, when the bowl

Got really lazy again and made a bunch of home made hotpots for dinner. My family love home made hotpot, very convenient, quick to make, you got to choose the soup base and ingredients. : )

As a big Asian pub in western Canada, Taiwanese style bubble tea is undoubtedly one of the most popular drink in town. Although not a huge fan of bubble teas myself(or any overly sugary drink in general).
