The Painted Pony Cafe - Kamloops, BC
Honey Tom Chicken - Kelowna, BC
I'm on my way out of Kelowna and I had to share with you Honey Tom Chicken before it's too late. Honey Tom Chicken is KFC. No, not the Colonel, but rather KFC as in: Korean Fried Chicken. The little shop is on the corner of Benvoulin Road and K.L.O. Road. If you like Korean style fried chicken this the place to get it in the interior.
Mittz Kitchen - Kamloops, BC
Hi ya Kamloops! I have to go to a meeting in Kelowna tomorrow so it allows me to sneak in town for some food today. I find myself downtown and hungry during that glorious stretch of time where you can choose between either the brunch menu or lunch menu. (It really is the little things that keep me happy, isn't it?)
I don't have any particular place in mind, so I use my trusty Park n' Scarf method of finding eats. This method is very technical: I find a parking space, park, and then scarf down at an eatery that is within ten steps from aforementioned parking space. It works for me.

Lemonade Gluten Free Bakery - Vancouver, BC
My temporary apartment happens to be in quick walking proximity to Cambie Village and its various shops. Here’s some of the gluten free goodness I found at Lemonade Bakery on Cambie Street. It’s just a few doors down from Las Tortas.
Fresh Dates at Osaka Supermarket - Richmond, BC
Fresh Dates ($1.69 per pound)
There is still a pile of these fresh dates at the Osaka Supermarket (a.k.a T & T Supermarket) in Richmond today. I initially found these treats a few weeks ago at the Yaohan Centre location. I’m on my third bag in three weeks. Have you tried?
The season for fresh dates is short. I think it runs September to October for the Red Dates above; which are also known as Chinese Dates or Jujubes.
Las Tortas - Vancouver, BC
I’m still hanging around Vancouver for a while. I’ve been lucky with the weather as it’s been agreeable for my entire stay so far. I’ve been able to walk pretty much everywhere. A short walk from my temporary digs is Las Tortas. (The last time I blogged about this substantial Mexican sandwich was at Aca Las Tortas in Bothell, Washington.)
Belgium Place - Vancouver, BC
I must still have waffles on the brain after not ordering one from Crackle Crème last weekend. Here is Belgium Place, which is located on the corner of Broadway and Fir. The last time I was in this space it was occupied by the Death By Chocolate café, ‘memba them?
Crackle Crème- Vancouver, BC
Crème brûlée. A shop dedicated to Crème brûlée? Yes, please.
I'm all moved into my temporary digs in Vancouver and today I'm on my way to the Powell Street Festival this afternoon. I thought I'd indulge in some burnt sugar and custard, before heading down to this annual Japanese cultural event.
Crackle Crème is located on Union Street in between Harvest Community Foods and a bike shop. Conveniently right along the Adanac Bikeway, if you happen to be cycling.
