Retirement

So, after over 100 posts on food, I am retiring from this blog. Hubbs and I go out to eat fairly often and it has become a nearly-impossible task to keep these places straight in our minds, much less remember sufficient detail in order to blog about them. And pictures - well, mostly we're too hungry to take 'em and by the time we remember, the food is decimated.

Here's a summarized list of a few of our "regular" favourites (some of which have already appeared on this blog) if you so wish to venture out and give them a try:

DIM SUM: Golden Ocean in Kerrisdale
FORMAL DIM SUM: Sea Harbour in Richmond, Sun Sui Wah in Richmond
