Raincoaster – Lorraine Murphy at Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar – Sutton Place Hotel in Vancouver
April Smith of AHA MEDIA had the most exquisite dinner with very dear friend and mentor Raincoaster – Lorraine Murphy at the very exclusive Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar in the 5-star Sutton Place Hotel in downtown Vancouver.
Our drinks were Rosé wine and Scotch, while we admired the dinner menu.
Jess, our server was delightful and attentive while guiding us through our fresh seafood choices.
We began with the highly recommended crispy chicken wings created with fish sauce caramel, sambal chilli, and tangly refreshing pickled vegetables was a lovely way to start this sumptuous dinner. Thanks to Raj Taneja for his fantastic foodie endorsement of how good the crispy chicken wings were!
Feasting on the Seafood Tower for two was a true decadent and savory delight with wild sidestripe shrimp ceviche, albacore tuna poke, read island mussel escabèche, dungeness crab louie, snow crab legs, wild shrimp, with local oysters on ice topping a most impressive 2 tier seafood platter!
Love the welcoming entrance tiles.

We can’t wait to come back and enjoy more delicious meals!
Breakfast at The Baker and The Chef in Vancouver
Peter of AHA MEDIA says
Today we dropped in on a little cafe called The Baker and The Chef on Cambie St in Vancouver
We ordered breakfast, it was noon and they were still serving breaky, bonus! We got the Ham and Cheese Omelet and “All Day Breakfast” (sausage, eggs, hashbrowns, and toast).
The servings were huge as we couldn’t even finish our food. The ham and cheese omelet was stuffed with so much meat! Very delighted to see this 🙂
The price was great, the server was very attentive and polite, and the atmosphere was excellent.
We would certainly go back and also recommend this place all our friends! 🙂
Rasoee – The Indian Kitchen in Vancouver
AHA MEDIA recently sampled delicious curries from Rasoee – Indian food, fast, fresh & modern. 
Peter of AHA MEDIA says:
If you like spicy Indian food that is reasonably priced and you’re in a hurry, Rasoee is the place to go!
We found their food delicious and comes with fresh chopped veggies on top.
We ordered butter chicken and lamb curry (both hot)and our food was ready to go in under 5 minutes (wow).
The prices were reasonable and the staff friendly. The curries were amazing and the naan was delicious and comes in white or whole wheat flavours.
We definitely recommend this place and would go back often.
Just a warning though, if you dont like really spicy food, dont order it hot! 🙂
