@deepdive002 happily!
Zdzisław Beksiński
Z: normally "z" as in Zoo, but it's placement before the consonant DZ (and lack of any vowels to work from) makes it nearly vibrattoless as "zs", slipping under the DZ like dust under a carpet 😂
DZ: "dg" from juDGe + "zh" sound as appears in meaSure. notice and practice your tongue placement when moving from "dg" to "zh" to get it to smoothly sound as one consonant instead of two
I (i): "ee". (theres a silent i in Polish, but it does not apply here)
W: "v," though i want to make a slight correction from above: when the W appears at the end of a syllable, it is devoiced (softened, tapered) into a "Vf" sound. this also applies to Skłodowska (skwo-DOVf-ska); mea culpa!!
SI: s when preceding an i makes a "sh" sound as in miSSIon or paSSIon
Ń: a nasally "nyeh" like in oNIon (or to pull from spanish, ñ)

it's always a good day to complain about English speakers

What To Expect When You’re Not Expecting The Outdoors in Vancouver
in partnership with Tourism Vancouver
It’s no doubt that Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Some even named them one of the best cities to live in. Yes, I absolutely agree (I’ve been here 11 years now, somehow). I mean... what’s not to like? Fresh air, the mountains, oceans, and of course, the great outdoors that put Vancouver on the map as a global tourist destination.
But what if, you’re not even remotely interested in the outdoors? *I have to admit, I’m probably the least outdoorsy person out there (don’t @ me!)* Will Vancouver still be enjoyable if one is not planning to go to Capilano bridge or doing the Grouse Grind? 
The answer is yes.
Vancouver is also home to some of the most talented, hard-working and innovative chefs, bartenders, and restauranteurs in the game. Making it a city that’s filled with delicious eats, drinks, and exceptional coffee culture - don’t believe me? Ask Chris Morocco from Bon Appetit Magazine ;) Plus, we are blessed with the bountiful amount of fresh ingredients, whether it’s fruits, veggies, seafood particularly, and even meat.
Every January, the city also hosts the annual Dine Out Vancouver Festival, a culinary festival that invites both locals and visitors to explore and experience what Vancouver has to offer. For the 18th edition of Dine Out Vancouver this year, there will be 318 restaurants participating in this two-week-long festivity. If you’re local, this time of the year is also a fun time to play tourist in your own city - which, I do, occasionally.
While I might not know where Garibaldi lake is on the map, and I definitely don’t know where to go for the best three-day camping trip (not that I want to do that ever), I do know exactly where you should be sipping your martini and eat your world-renowned aburi sushi. You can trust me on that.
Without trying to sound like a know-it-all, here’s how, in my ideal world, I would spend a typical 48 hours in Vancouver. 
8:30 a.m - Ride Cycle Club.
Nothing like starting your morning with a loud, steamy and sweaty spin class. The playlist is always on-point; the instructors, typically with a sexy, raspy voice, definitely gets you going first thing in the morning. There’s so much joy in watching everyone move to the beat, all together. It’s an experience for sure.
10:30 a.m - #dailycortado at Revolver.
If you know me at all, Revolver is practically my morning home base. The rustic, charming, long hallway is usually filled with highly (or soon to be highly) caffeinated individuals, chatting, working, or geeking out about coffee and other stuff (anything from cameras to vintage Rolexes). The menu is simple and straight forward, with beans selection rotating daily -- hence, Revolver. Solid pour-over bar, well-executed, picture-perfect espresso-based bevies too. But this is not the place to order a skinny, two pumps vanilla, one pump hazelnut, caramel macchiato - if that’s even a thing lolz. 
11:30 a.m - Snack and fresh flowers at The Birds & The Beets.
By snack, I mean, a freshly sliced of pillowy yet perfectly crusty sourdough with butter and sea salt - as simple as that. Or do the one with their house-made preserves if you’re fancy. Should you need another jolt of caffeine, their coffee is pretty damn good too. Pick up some fresh flowers on your way out too. ALSO, come back later at night when this cute coffee shop turns into Juicebar,  a natural wine bar where all the cool kids hang out and drink magnums of pet-nat all night.
12:30 p.m - Deep-fried everything tacos at Tacofino Gastown.
It’s problematic how addicting the crispy chicken tacos at Tacofino can be. I’ve had my days when all I ate was variations of this crispy chicken taco: as a burrito, as a ‘salad’ bowl, as a taco again, and repeat. Juicy tender chicken,  pickled veggies, epazote chimichurri, drizzled with buttermilk chili crema - mouthwatering. Their fish tacos are also delicious, it’s, as a matter of fact, their claim to fame, nuff said. You can’t also say no to their nachos, with a glass (or pitcher) of margs, obvs.
2 p.m - Stroll and shop through Gastown.
Drooling over luscious house-plants and Japanese cookware at Old Faithful Shop, selecting new fragrances at Le Labo, I also might as well pick up body balm at Aesop. Oh, and of course, stopping by Roden Gray to see some Thom Browne.
4 p.m - Spritz o’clock at Di Beppe.
Get a table at the cafe to people-watch while drinking bottled, branded Aperol Spritz. It’s an afternoon well spent, you gotta wait til’ 5:30 for happy hour anyways ;)
5:30 p.m - Happy Hour at L’abattoir.
L’abattoir, hands down, has one of the most beautiful bars in the city, with one of the strongest beverage programs too. The cocktails, both original and classic, are always crafted with such passion and precision. The Avocado Gimlet particularly is now a L’abattoir and a Vancouver classic: bright, boozy and herbaceous. Their wine list is a fun one to explore. Whether you’re feeling playful and adventurous, or classic and familiar, the team will find the wine for you. Their happy hour is probably my favorite one in the city: short but sweet. Make sure you make it there 5:30 on the dot to score the highly coveted bar seat (find me in the corner of the bar). You MUST order their iconic baked Pacific oysters, covered in a mountain of foamy truffle-garlic butter. Oh! and the pan-fried sweetbreads on toast is unforgettably delicious. L’abbatoir Dine Out menu can be found here.
7 p.m - Dinner at PiDGin.
One of a few restaurants in Vancouver that figured out how to perfectly marry the east and the west. An Asian-inspired menu, by the way of French cooking, using the freshest ingredients from the Pacific North West. Every dish is always a burst of flavours: rich and indulging without being pretentious. The umami-filled Foie Gras rice bowl is one of the most drool-worthy dishes. So uniquely, and iconically Pidgin. It’s a dish that has stood the test of time and has been there since the restaurant opened its’ doors six years ago now. Their beverage program is also focused on showcasing Asian spirits and flavours: numerous Japanese whisky, craft cocktails, and an impressive sake library. Explore Pidgin six-course Dine Out menu here.
10:30 p.m - Nightcap at Botanist.
I’ve talked about Botanist a lot, and I mean, a lot. While they’re still relatively new, they managed to sky-rocket their way to the top of the restaurant scene. With their award-winning bar team and innovative bar menu, it’s no surprise that Botanist is one of the best bars in the country. Sitting at the bar, sipping Botanist martini, while geeking out about cocktails and spirits is always a fun way to end the night. Botanist martini is an ideal nightcap: boozy, velvety, and obviously tasty. It’s like a vesper that gets an elegant Fairmont makeover, with a Pacific North West influence. This year, Botanist is hosting a Punch Brunch as part of Dine Out Vancouver AND to kick off Vancouver Cocktail Week next year. So exciting!
Day 2
10 a.m - Breakfast at Nemesis.
A hip and happening coffee shop with an impressive brunch menu and delectable baked goods. Of course, the coffee is stellar, and the space is beautiful with bright lights streaming through the windows. Their brunch and pastries, however, have been stealing the show for quite some time now. If you’re in Gastown, the cauliflower hash and the steak and egg are essential. If you happen to be across the bridge, the burrata and scrambled eggs on croissant loaf and is to-die-for. Not to forget their dreamy, kinda fancy croissants (think about Reuben sandwich, strawberry cheesecake in the form of croissant kind of fancy). Oh, and both of their cookies: the insanely luscious classic chocolate chip and the updated ferrero-esque cookie sandwich are worth crossing the bridge for.
12.30 p.m - Aburi lunch at Miku.
If there’s that one place I usually take visitors for the sake of impressing them, it’s Miku. It’s probably one of the most well-known Vancouver restaurants that even Beyonce was spotted dining there. The menu is unique. The world-famous aburi sushi is iconic. And the seafood? It doesn’t get any fresher than what Miku offers. Let’s not forget the multi-million dollar waterfront view, overlooking the harbour and North Vancouver. Their sister restaurant Minami is doing a Dine Out Lunch special too, by the way.
2:30 p.m - Nap.
It’s absolutely necessary.
5:30 p.m - Dinner at Como Taperia.
Oh what an exciting time when Como finally opened its’ doors in Mount Pleasant last year! The premise? A no-fuss-no-muss Spanish tapas restaurant with vibrant food, fabulous Gin and Tonics, and unbeatable conservas list. The room has been buzzing with people since day one - until recently they placed second on Enroute Magazine Best new restaurant. Even more people are now trying to get in to Como. The foie burger is simply a must, and so is the crispy eggplant, drizzled with honey. The oxtail, pepper and frites is so tenderly delicious. They’re also doing fun happy hour starting at 4, offering free tapas- just like they do in Spain. Drink the El Bandarra vermut on tap while munching on the tapa, or make sure to check out their daily tortilla feature.
8 p.m - Cocktails at Hawksworth’s Bar.
Hawksworth is probably as swanky as a Vancouver restaurant can get. While the dining room is very much upscale and can be intimidating, the cocktail bar is lively and chic. Again, get a spot at the bar and start with the Hotel Georgia Cocktail: bright, juicy and refreshing, inspired by the historic hotel itself. If you’re feeling extra fancy, they have a ‘from the vault’ menu that features classic cocktails made with vintage, extremely rare spirits.
10:30 p.m - A burger and nightcap at Pourhouse.
Located in the charming water street, Pourhouse is a cocktail bar nestled in one of Gastown’s historic buildings. The room itself is very old-school America in the prohibition era - luxurious, charming and welcoming. The menu is fairly simple but everything is well-executed. The Pourhouse burger is particularly memorable. I’ve vouched for this burger as the best one in town over and over again - no, I don’t want to argue with anyone on this. Classic cocktails are always crafted so meticulously here: Manhattan, Boulevardier, or a cognac Sazerac. You can’t go wrong with any (or all) of them. Their Dine Out menu this year is outstanding and really showcase what the team can do in the kitchen.
Well, that’s one hell of a list for y’all. I surely hope this helps with planning your delicious next trip to Vancouver! 
Discover the full list of restaurants participating in this year’s Dine Out Vancouver Festival here!
See y’all in the 604 soon!

Hapa Izakaya - Dine Out Vancouver 2018
Hapa Izakaya – Dine Out Vancouver 2018
Tumblr media
The last Dine Out Vancouver restaurant we tried was Hapa Izakaya at the Coal Harbour location. To be honest, I was never a huge fan of Hapa because I thought the dishes were just average for the price. However, a recent visit for happy hour changed my mind and N wanted to try the restaurant anyways, so I thought I would give it another try. Plus, the selling point for me was the 3 course savory…

Dine Out Vancouver 2017 - Brunch Crawls - Overview
Tumblr media
Disclosure: These were complimentary tastings and all opinions are my own.
It’s official. Dine Out Vancouver does brunch. Back for another year, this event, presented by Vancouver Foodster, takes eager diners on an efficient tour of neighbourhoods in Vancouver known for their great food and drink. This year I had the fortune of attending 4 different brunch crawls. For a quick overview of my favourite foods of these crawls (and a general picture of what you’ll find in subsequent crawls), read on past the jump.
It’s not easy visiting 20 venues in 4 days, but Team Tastic did it.
Kitsilano Brunch Crawl
We started at Silk Road Tea where we received samples of, you guessed it, tea! My favourite here was the London Fog Tea Latte. 
Tumblr media
London Fog Tea Latte
Next up was Be Fresh Market Cafe. This was a neat little grocer and they had a dainty display of their goods including Bullet Proof Coffee (with grass feed butter and coconut oil), Coconut Musli (raw rolled oats), and the Upbeat Toast (bruschetta with beet balsamic).
Tumblr media
Bullet Proof Coffee, Coconut Musle, and Upbeat Toast
Next we headed to Rocky Mountain Flatbread. I was feeling vegetarian this morning (it doesn’t happen often) and so I went for the Market Breakfast pizza (seasonal vegetables, three-herb pesto, and goat cheese). There were also some spiked drinks and I indulged in a Bloody Caesar.
Tumblr media

Bloody Caesar and Orange Gin
Next up was Kahve serving up some Pecan Chewies.
Tumblr media
Pecan Chewies
Finally, Rain or Shine had the sweetest finish with their Banana Pudding Ice Cream.
Tumblr media
Banana Pudding Ice Cream
East Village Brunch Crawl
Nonna’s Table was the meeting location and we started the day with a plate of scrambled eggs, hash browns, and French toast.
Tumblr media
Breakfast Sampler
Moving onto The Gourmet Warehouse, it turns out they produced their own scones (I chose cheese) for the event and served them with Plain ol’ Strawberry Jam and Bean Around The World Coffee.
Tumblr media
Scones and Jams
We hit up Platform 7 Coffee afterwards for a beautiful Cortado.
Tumblr media

Moving east along East Village we got to Di Oliva next where we tried unlimited olive oil, basalmic vinegar, and foccacia.
Tumblr media
Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars
Finally, Italia Bakery was serving a small box of Strawberry Chocolate Cannoli and a Strawberry Cream Puff.
Yaletown Brunch Crawl
Tumblr media
Cannoli and Cream Puff
Rocanini Coffee Roasters was serving an 8oz Rum Latte. This was a hefty double shot with non-alcoholic rum flavouring. The rum flavour had sunk to the bottom but it was packed with flavour when I got there.
Tumblr media
8oz Rum Latte
House Special served a Lunar New Year-inspired dish with Congee Noir, Vietnamese Festival Cake, and Steamed Glass Dumplings. This amount of variety made me enjoy this stop the most for this crawl.
Tumblr media
House Special Sampler
Ganache Patisserie had a dessert sampler with Croissant, Croissant aux Bleuets-Mres, Goyave Citron Mandarine, Madeleine, and a Macaron. So much content on one plate! They even had time to drizzle a line of chocolate on the side of the plate.
Tumblr media
Dessert Sampler
Living Produce Aisle had a Green Dream Smoothie, Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie, and Microgreen Salad. Fun fact: everything was grown in-house to produce these goods. That’s probably as local as it gets!
Tumblr media
Microgreen Salad and Smoothies
TeaJa Organic Teas rounded out the set with a sampler of teas and granola.
Tumblr media
Organic Teas and Granola
West End Brunch Crawl
We started this day off at Pappa Roti where they were serving Coconut Rollies and Choco Banana Rollies. These were served with an Ice-Blended Signature Chocolate or Signature Karak Tea. The winning combination for me here was the Choco Banana Rollie with the Ice-Blended Signature Chocolate because chocolate in the morning is my cure for many things.
Tumblr media
Rollies and Drinks
Next up was De Dutch Pannakoek House. These were some hearty De Bakon Pannekoeken heated up and served with a savoury slice of melted cheese.
Tumblr media
De Bakon and Cheese Pannekoeken
Styo Dessert was serving a Ham & Cheese Croissant-Stuffed Waffle, Blueberry Croissant-Stuffed Waffle, and an Antioxidant Berry Smoothie (Dairy-Free). The waffles here had an inherent croissant flakiness and the butteriness made these a delicious treat and my favourite stop of the day.
Tumblr media
Croissant-Stuffed Waffles and Antioxidant Berry Smoothie
Ritual was serving a Yam of your Dreams with Pulled Pork and partnered up with Commodity Juicery to serve a 6oz Upbeet Smoothie. This actually was the yam of my dreams with a very savoury pulled pork. The Upbeet Smoothie had a strong beet taste but was still easy to drink. It was a hard toss-up between Ritual and Styo for choice venue but both would be solid contenders.
Tumblr media
Yam of Your Dreams and Upbeet Smoothie
Last but not least, Punto Pasta (rebranded from Verifood) was serving a tasting of their homemade pizza. Between the Pizza Margherita, Pizza with Veggies, and Pizza Carbonara, I enjoyed the Pizza Margherita best. The dough here had a lot of texture and the ingredients clung on well. I also had an americano with my pizza.
Tumblr media
Homemade Pizzas
Final Thoughts:
I think the biggest benefit of going on these brunch crawls is the near-instant service. Everything is pre-planned for you; you just have to make it to the eateries! Once you’re done, you don’t have to pay the restaurants unless you’re ordering further items, and you can simply leave the space and move onto the next venue.
The portions between crawls varied with the West End brunch crawl being the most filling. I’d consider any future crawls that don’t feature a tea stop a worthy crawl as a stop with carbs is a stop I know I can enjoy. Check out what Vancouver Foodster is up to next on their website!

PiDGiN: A Dine Out Vancouver Preview
I have had a soft spot for this gastown restaurant since day one (yes - that was six short years ago). I still remember the welcoming committee the first time we dined there: the DTES protestors, with their signs and everything. Despite of all the controversy going on outside, we had a fabulous meal: oyster shots, mushrooms, chicken wings (R.I.P), and the star of the menu (a PiDGiN classic now), the foie gras rice bowl.
Naturally, when they invited me out to take a peek of what they’re doing for Dine Out this year, I said yes.
Their approach to the Dine Out menu is slightly different than others. While typically a restaurant would give you options for each of the three course, Pidgin is serving a five-course, family style dinner for $45. The menu features some dishes from their regular menu, and several others that Chef Wesley Young and team put together specifically for this 17-day festivity. 
Highlights from the omnivore list include the head cheese terrine served with  pickled Shitake mushrooms, puffed beef tendon that paired nicely with a glass of lambrusco. The rockfish was also quite stellar, especially when enjoyed with the very dry Tantalus ‘17 riesling. The Cache Creek skirt steak ssam (which you can, probably should, substitute with the wagyu) was a delicious finale before dessert.
Favourites from the herbivore menu were the usual suspects: spicy miso fried cauliflower and the cultivated mushrooms with celeriac purée, yuzu brown butter and ramen egg (one of the OG PiDGiN dishes).
Supplements to the menu like shaved truffle and foie gras (or both) are also available. As mentioned, their foie gras is just one of those things that you must eat at, at least once (a month).
Dine Out Vancouver is now on!
Till next time!
