Foo’s Ho Ho Restaurant – Oldest Chinese Restaurant in Vancouver’s Historic Chinatown!
Foo’s Ho Ho Restaurant
102 E. Pender

Friends of Foo’s Ho Ho is an ad hoc group formed to educate lovers of good food about traditional Lo Wah Kiu (old overseas Chinese) cooking style and to preserve it for those who believe it is soul food.
Foo’s Ho Ho is the oldest Chinese restaurant in Hum Siu Fow (Saltwater City – Vancouver) historic Chinatown. It’s unique because it serves an old country-style of Cantonese cuisine that cannot be found anywhere else in Metro Vancouver.
As Chinatowns prospered, many of the finest Chinese chefs followed this style of down-home cooking and soon it was elevated to a high cuisine. As the Chinese population dispersed towards the prairies and farther east, the Chinese café became a staple in almost every small rural community. Soon many dishes such as Egg Fu-Yung, Chow Mein, Chop Suey, Sweet and Sour Pork and Deep Fried Prawns were added to the menu. Thus the food served by Foo’s Ho Ho is part of a culinary legacy that spans over 150 years of continued Chinese Canadian presence in Canada.
" The patrons lend a certain 'je ne sai quoi' which may be the heart of the
movement to keep Foo's Ho Ho's heart beating"

By GILLIAN SHAW
Coworking and hotdesking are growing trends with companies and individuals who are abandoning high-priced real estate in favour of more practical – and less pricey – workspace solutions.
With inner city Vancouver home to many independent tech and creative entrepreneurs, it’s a natural for the newly opened coworking@BOB space, a shared work space created by Building Opportunities with Business, a non-profit aimed at supporting business development and job opportunities in the neighborhood.
High-ceiling, spacious and located on the main floor of a building at 163 East Pender St., the shared open space gives tenants desk space, along with chairs, tables, couches and other furnishings that distinguish it from a less inviting cubicle haven. Art on the walls from Vancouver’s Grace Gallery will be rotated regularly.
“We hope that this open shared work space can contribute to the revitalization of the inner-city by providing a space for creative professionals to flourish, for ideas to percolate, to cross pollinate, for businesses to grow, a place where stuff gets done,” reads BOB’s announcement of the new space.
Wi-Fi, a fridge, microwave, filtered water cooler and secure bike storage round out the offerings that come at a flat rate of $200 a month with keyless access to the building.
