Hello my sweet readers, I'm back! I accidentally disappeared for like, a month (oops!) but don't worry I'm still alive. I've been working as much as humanly possible and I'm still on the hunt for a new job so that's been really time consuming. I've got a lot of posts to catch up on so hopefully I'll get those out for you this week!
Every year, my city has a huge food event called Dineout Vancouver. It's where many restaurants get together and come up with set menus at a set price for people to try throughout the event. This gives customers a chance to try out the restaurant's food at a more affordable price (most places serve 2-3 course menus for this event).
This year I went to three different restaurants, but only two of them were worth the trip I think. The first one I went to was Merchant's Oyster Bar on Commercial Drive. I used to go there for brunch a lot but I've never tried their regular menu so I thought I'd try it during dineout.

Needless to say everything was delicious there. I'd love to go back again! Here was my face for the day:
Next I went to the Cheshire Cheese in North Vancouver with some very good friends from elementary school, We have a tradition of doing dineout together every year, this was our 5th year! Unfortunately this one was not as good as our previous years, and I think this place was the worst out of the three places I went to for this year's dineout. The service was slow even though we had a reservation and the food was sub-par at best. At least we still had good company!

My crab dip appetizer which was
really yummy and probably the only
tasty thing I was served
besides dessert :< |
 |
My fish and chips but they were
really greasy and soggy. The fries
were gross too D: |
 |
| At least dessert was nice ;n; |
Here's my face for the night:
The last place I went to was
Bistro Sakana in Yaletown. It was a very nice Japanese restaurant. I went with my best friends from high school and we were blown away by the food!

Our chazuke appetizer. It was
super tasty! |

Overall, I think this year's dineout experience was pretty good! I got to catch up with a lot of old friends and try out some very interesting new foods. I'll definitely go check out Bistro Sakana again because that place was amazing! Until next time~
