e at night best to check google maps for opening times on the day we ll be back for sure usagui carrer de les santjoanistes 28 barcelona catalonia sat 21 oct 2017 mak n ming vancouver posted by su lin under canada food food and drink restaurants travel tags canada mak n ming restaurant travel vancouver 5 comments it s been a while since i blogged and that s just due to real life getting in the way i ve already been to vancouver twice this year and haven t blogged a bit about those trips i ll start with a highlight of my first trip back in may my father and i went to visit mak n ming a tiny fixed menu restaurant in kitsilano it s relatively new and just recently was awarded as one of canada s best new restaurants in 2017 by air canada s enroute magazine légende in quebec made that list a few years ago the mak and ming in the name are the chef couple of impressive pedigrees who ve launched the tiny restaurant the restaurant is indeed tiny perhaps only seating about 20 or so and hence booking is absolutely essential there are only two menus a four course demi menu and a longer seven course chef s menu as this was my last dinner before flying out of vancouver on that first trip we went all out for the chef s menu 78 per head what s nice is that the entire table isn t forced into one or the other they allow for mixing of menus a first bite of caviar on rye was a very promising start next up was raw lamb salsify parmesan shirasu and was essentially lamb tartare and much milder in flavour than i expected the parmesan featured in a huge crunchy cracker on top i enjoyed the buckwheat fried egg greens which turned out to be similar to a crepe though perhaps this was the least creative of the dishes that night still very good though the very minimalistic lobster potato was butter poached lobster with a gorgeous potato puree and also shavings of potato with a seaweed coating i think one of my favourites was the split pea lobster gravy seeds which turned out to be layers of split pea soup and a very thick lobster bisque the first dessert rhubarb tartlet brunost was a truly inspired combination a very short and crumbly buttery pastry with a sweet tart rhubarb filling was offset nicely by its toupee of rich and creamy norwegian brown cheese the second dessert was a sake kasu parfait rose jelly pistachio meringue sweet pea and i never knew you could eat sweet peas in small quantities i do believe they re toxic in larger amounts not too sweet and lovely and light yet creamy this was very accomplished i ordered tea for afters and it came with a plate of excellent house made sweets for the table and my tea well it came with a timer which gave us a bit of interactive fun perhaps my only quibble with the restaurant is that the menus only seem to change once every season if i still lived in vancouver and had the funds i d want more of an excuse to visit more often oh and that i missed their sunday brunches offered only in the summer boo it s definitely worth the visit mak n ming 1629 yew street vancouver bc v6k 3e6 canada sat 2 sep 2017 a tomato sauce with a twist posted by su lin under food food and drink recipes tags pasta sauce tomato sauce tomatoes 2 comments i can t honestly write up a proper recipe for this i took inspiration from a pasta dish from a local italian restaurant and ran with it using up bits and bobs from the fridge blai took my vague instructions ideas and turned it into a wonderful dinner a couple nights ago and i thought i d write it up chop up some bacon or pancetta and saute in a little olive oil when brown add some minced garlic and the chopped leaves of a couple of small sprigs of rosemary when it s all highly scented pour in a generous amount of red wine let all the alcohol bubble away add chopped tomatoes we used fresh as we have a glut to use up and simmer away until it s reduced to your liking salt and pepper and serve with pasta a variation that would make it even closer to what s on offer at our local restaurant is to use cubed steak removing it from the pan after browning to your liking and then adding it back in at the end excellent stuff fri 11 aug 2017 légende québec canada posted by su lin under canada food restaurants travel tags boreal canada food quebec 4 comments i knew i had a solo dinner in québec and after reaching out on twitter renée got in touch again hello and recommended légende a highly acclaimed restaurant specialising in boreal cuisine i e cuisine using ingredients only found in the boreal northern forests of canada no lemons or passion fruit or aubergines here while not unique in québec for serving boreal cuisine it is unique in being one of the few restaurants in canada to be on the air canada enroute magazine s annual list of canada s best new restaurants i d booked a place for one and ended up at their counter watching plates whizz by and drinks being made in front of me there were a couple other solo diners there and it was a nice spot to chat and find out what brought all of us to québec work it turns out i was tempted to try the restaurant s tasting menu 10 courses but i was still feeling a little full from lunch and so decided on sticking to the a la carte menu of half sized plates an amuse of clam and cucumber was brought out it was refreshing and opened up my appetite a little perhaps that massive sugar shack inspired lunch was a mistake nah a tiny loaf of warm fir scented bread with butter made my way at the counter it took a lot of discipline not to inhale it in one go now i thought that perhaps with half plates i could perhaps put away two or three and i started by ordering two this was a wise move as they were half sizes of canadian portions read larger than i m used to my first dish of pan seared scallops with egg yolk smoked duck fennel nordic shrimp was delicious with lots of textures like those crackers on top and even a few fiddlehead ferns this was probably my favourite dish of the evening this guinea fowl dish wasn t on the menu but replaced another poultry dish that i originally wanted yikes i didn t take any notes but i remember enjoying it and i remember being extremely full afterwards and definitely not being able to deal with a third dish dessert had to be their signature candy cap mushroom frozen parfait with fir balm infused mousse crystallized lichen lichen fir mushrooms these are not words i normally associate with dessert the mushrooms turned out to be formed of the frozen parfait but the lichen the lichen was lichen i never knew it was edible the dish overall was more of a fun novelty rather than your typical sweet ending to a meal but i still loved it overall it was a fabulous meal definitely recommended and if you re a solo diner like i was the counter is a great place to sit and be taken care of légende 255 rue saint paul ville de québec qc g1k 3w5 canada sun 16 jul 2017 a visit to québec city posted by su lin under canada food restaurants shops travel tags canada food quebec travel 6 comments earlier this year in may i had my first visit to quebec city probably the last major city in canada i ve been very keen to see due to its history and its old walled city the only walled city in north america north of mexico is indeed a unesco world heritage site it was a short visit as i was there for work but i think i managed to see most of the highlights in my free day and whatever free time i could muster my hotel was located about a 10 minute walk from the walled old town top tip best not to choose a hotel on grande allée est if you re not keen on nightlife running into the wee hours of the morning right in front of your window for my first walk through the city i looped around the old fortress and headed straight for the river that would be the mighty st lawrence river it s particularly wide here as québec is located near its mouth notice the gloomy day this was late spring and there were still large lumps of snow that had failed to melt it was cold my first view of the château frontenac was breathtaking as was the wind that day it s quite a majestic landmark and understandably is one of the main symbols of the city if it had been winter it would have been a treat to go down the toboggan slide located on the left in the photo below dating back to 1884 from the terrasse dufferin and its multitude of benches facing the river it was down the stairs to the lower town below the quartier petit champlain is a particularly charming tourist area with many shops with local products at the end of the main street is a shop specialising in all things maple québec is famous for its maple syrup and i learned wild blueberries it s where i chose to go for my maple taffy later in the visit here maple syrup is cooked to the soft ball stage and then poured over snow shaved ice here a stick is used to pick up the taffy and it tasted even better than i expected this was just one step in my dream to experience a québécois sugar shack but y know outside the actual season typically march and april there s a funicular to help you get back up that hill too and i certainly made use of that when i came back one evening from a work dinner in the lower town handy i continued walking around the port area until i reached the marché du vieux port de québec this market was made up of many local farm stands selling local products i picked up some amazing fresh maple sugar as a gift for friends here fiddlehead ferns têtes de violon in french violin heads were in season and were all over the market i had a chance to have some at a dinner later on my sugar shack style lunch was had at la buche a restaurant specialising in quebecois cuisine i went full on with their massive brunch platter that evoked a sugar shack kind of feeling there were eggs potatoes sausage bacon ham cretons fèves au lard the québec version of baked beans a crepe with maple syrup toast with blueberry jam and fruit salad hearty it was and i was very full the rest of the day i did try my best but no i didn t finish the entire thing there was a very nice dinner that night as well oof and i ll save that for a post of its own the oldest building in quebec was across the street and it also holds another quebecois restaurant it s not cheap but i ve heard good things about it other places i particularly enjoyed visiting well there was the side of the parking lot of the anglican cathedral where aldo the donkey lives he s out and about most mornings i believe i managed to wander into le monastère des augustines still a working augustine convent but now also refurbished to be a hotel restaurant café spa and all round community space it s beautiful and very peaceful a visit to the morrin centre is a must for lovers of libraries this historic english language library is tiny but gorgeous nearby is the maison de la littérature a modern library created in a converted church again absolutely beautiful but in its own different way a must stop shop is the épicerie j a moisan the oldest grocery store in north america it has many of its original fixings and you can spend an hour here poring over all the goods it s also the perfect place to pick up an edible souvenir i went home with some incredible wild blueberry compote i couldn t not have poutine in quebec that quintessentially québécois dish of fries cheese curds and gravy is said to have originated in the fast food chain chez ashton that s where i went and i wasn t disappointed the cheese curds in particular were exceptionally fresh squeaking in between my teeth my first time in quebec was certainly good fun if a bit cold my next post is on légende the restaurant but if you want to see more quebec photos in the meantime i ll direct you to my flickr
