I finished up my turkey dinner leftovers on Saturday. BT makes really good potato crack. On Xmas Day, I cooked a 20 pound turkey with stuff, gravy and cranberry sauce. It took 7 hours to cook, not including preparation time, but it turned out delicious. My 4th or 5th turkey to-date. I could be a domestic diva yet.
On Friday, a group of us went to Shabusen downtown for all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ and sushi. I tend to not be a huge fan of AYCA because one tends to gorge on low-grade food. But I love social gatherings and I got to meet a friend of a friend from Thailand. After, we went for Japanese crepes at the Japanese grocery on Robson street. We also went to Mondo Gelato a few doors down. I had no room for dessert.
On Saturday evening, I had the pleasure of going to Kino Cafe on Camie and 18th Streets. The food is dull and the service is atrocious, but the live Flamenco dancing and Spanish singing is extraordinary. I think if you only go to Kino Cafe for drinks or Sangria and to see the live show, it would be the perfect combination. The place calls itself a Spanish tapas restaurant, but there are really no tapas on the menu.
We went for Sunday brunch at the Best Western Inn in Coquitlam. For about $22, you can have a brunch buffet with seafood. I thought for the price, the food was good. The service was mediocre at best. Bit of a drive from Vancouver though. I really wanted to try the brunch at the Hilton Metrotown, but it was $29 and you had to make a reservation.
I have uploaded GEoff's Vancouver SantaCon photos to my flickr account.
