joe fortes seafood and steakhouse
this is some restaurant you HAVE to go to if you're in vancouver. it's an upmarket seafood and steak restaurant (duh) like it says and it's damn fucking good. dinner was fresh premium west coast oysters, alaskan king crab claws, and crab and shrimp salad, while main course was prime beef rib with yorkshire pudding and medium-rare seared wild sockeyed salmon with sauteed potatoes. dessert was creme brulee and tiramisu, and their speciality coffee with kahlua and black sambuca. all in for CAN $188.
today was shopping day. interesting how i'm buying my household stuff like hangers and bedlinen from the sears department store down robson st, while in singapore it would be at boon tat hardware store in clementi or queenstown or somewhere along those lines. you know, where you pay by cash and not credit card? ice-cream is really cheap. and good. $2.75 gets you two scoops of premium ice-cream in a large waffle cone and free chocolate dip from purdy's chocolate.
sometimes i wish i were going to sweden for exchange instead, like leng lee. there furniture wouldn't be a problem coz it's the home of ikea!!! but i'm not complaining. vancouver is a nice place. and it REALLY is multi-cultural. ang mohs, blacks, indians, japs, chinese, honkeys, philipinos, you name it, they have it. everyone assumes tt we're local. YAY!
i'm missing my baby lots. i want to get my own phoneline soon!!! ARGH. dammit.
currently waiting for my mom to be done with laundry. with all the kinds of and amount of food tt i'm eating (and i haven't gone running or done any form of exercise yet), i am SERIOUSLY piling on the pounds. do not be surprised if i return looking like a sea walrus.
bah.
