Today, we decided to go to Richmond Night Market for dinner. We chose the “International” offering (behind Home Depot) and boy were we disappointed. After having a Hurricane Potato each, we left due to the dismal selections. Craving something completely different, we decided to go for ramen! Searching reviews, Yah Yah Ya Ramen appeared to…

First Steak of Summer!
You know what time it is? BBQ time! The sun is shining, the weather is perfect, what a better time to have a classic steak? Nothing fancy about this post, just excited to have a grilled steak finally after such a long time! Too bad the cut of meat we got wasn’t very good —…
VH Gran Ventana [Dominican Republic Resort]
For those of you whom follow this blog, you will have noticed there was no post last week. No, I didn’t forget — Jax an I were celebrating our 1 year anniversary back in the Caribbean! Staying at the VH Gran Ventana in Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, we enjoyed a week of pure…
Summertime Raspberry Lemon Almond Cake [Gluten Free]
The weather here has been phenomenal this past week! It’s been very warm, and summer-like! This put Jax in the mood to make a light cake, that is perfect to share during a bbq or picnic. The added benefit? It’s gluten free! (You can also use many other buzzwords, like Paleo, flourless, berry, etc, but…
Garlic Rosemary Rack of Lamb
Food We Like To Eat isn’t always about sharing recipes, or restaurant reviews. Sometimes it’s literally just sharing something that we really like to eat. Rack of lamb is one of my favourite cuts of meat. If I have any say as to what my birthday meal is, I will always say rack of lamb. …
Procrastination Mango Munchies
We love puff pastry. Look at all of the previous recipes we’ve posted, and you’ll see how many include puff pastry. It’s so versatile — you can have it with both savoury and sweet. Since it’s readily available at our grocery store, it’s super convenient to always keep some in the freezer. This is another…
Bloodsport Braised Pork Belly [Hong Shao Ro]
The first time I went over to Jax’s family for their Chinese New Year dinner, her mom cooked a Red Meat dish that I absolutely fell in love with! I knew on my first bite that I’d have to start making it myself! Why Bloodsport? Simply because it’s my favourite movie of all time! This…
Sushi By Yuji [Restaurant]
Continuing the sharing of restaurants we like here in Vancouver, today we are highlighting Jax’s favourite place for sushi! Once again, this isn’t a review; it’s an informational session! Located literally a stones throw away from Chefe Daniel, Sushi By Yuji again embodies Food We Like To Eat! One chef, and one waitress. Cooking in…
Chefe Daniel [Restaurant]
One of our absolutely favourite restaurants in Vancouver is Chefe Daniel. This is Executive Chef Daniel Alexandre’s most recent offering. Formerly of Senhor Rooster, he’s gone back to his roots of a small neighbourhood open kitchen concept where you will quickly become a regular! This post isn’t so much of a review, as it is…
‘Moreish’ Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
Today I bring to you something that Jax has been making — cookies! Who doesn’t like cookies? Taking inspiration from many of the other recipes out there, she’s put her spin on it. For all of you Trini’s out there, you’ll know what moreish is. Growing up, if there was something my dad liked, ice…
Striker Stir Fry Gai Lan with Garlic and Mushrooms [Vegetarian/Vegan]
Since this blog is about Food We Like To Eat, it won’t always be the most intricate, nor super special generations-passed-down dish that you’ve come to expect. Growing up, my mom always cooked gai lan by steaming it, and then pouring oyster sauce on it. There’s nothing wrong with that at all! In fact I…
cs’s South Central Confit/Seared Castiron Skillet Savory Chicken
Lately we’ve been eating a fair amount of red meat in our household, so to cut back, we are going back to chicken as our protein of choice. Stir frying it becomes boring after a while, and I don’t believe in deep frying. Could there be a compromise between the crispy juiciness of battered-oil-soaked-chicken and bland…
