POSTCARD: Salt Tasting Room: Gastown, Vancouver

The Salt Tasting Room is definitely my favourite restaurant in Vancouver! Possibly on the list of my favourite restaurants ever! Hey, I am not a food critic, but if you are in Vancouver, Salt is definitely a must!

It is located in Gastown’s historic Blood Alley…don’t let the name scare you, and specializes in wine, cheese and meat pairings.

The menu is simple! The guests assemble their own tasting plate from the menu or special items written on the chalk board on the back wall of the restaurant. You will never have the same experience twice!

Not sure what wine to order with what cheese? Just order one of the tasting menus and let the specially trained staff do the work for you! They really know their stuff! :)

POSTCARD: JAPADOG STAND – Vancouver, BC

As a few of you might know, I lived in Vancouver, BC for about 5 years and I consider it as one of my homes. It is such a great, young city and I am so glad people got to know it a lot more during the 2010 Winter Olympics! I have not visited in a few years and boy, do I miss it and my family and friends that live there.

During my last year in Vancouver, my brother rented a condo right downtown on the corner of Burrard St. and Smithe St…..and like all loving sisters, I spent many nights crashing at his place! Best part of it was the location…

Downstairs was a theater, a Starbucks Coffee, shopping and…who can forget…the never ending line to JAPADOG!

How I miss Japadog! A combination of an American classic and Japanese flavours. You used to find the stand on only a few corners of Downtown Vancouver…recently they opened up shop in New York! Lucky New Yorkers!

So if you are ever visiting Vancouver…search for these happy little stands, grab a Terimayo and trust me, you will not regret it! Even if it is probably going to be raining! :p
