was and is curious the space formerly known as mo butter?

nice to know and just around the corner as well

went by ciao bella on denman and they advertise a 4 course fixed menu for $25 with live music,sounds like a real deal ,but, how's the food, anyone ever eaten there?

yes i saw king and i as well, peeked into window and saw 2 items on their luch specials szechuan(sp?) chicken as well as spicey green beans for $5.95

in my travels yesterday i noticed quince was $1.39 at both urban fare and norman's on the drive!wow how could that be?? but uh actually it was that price per lb at norman's and for each at u.f not totally unexpected i mighty add

made a point of tuning in last night and no joy, albeit i didn't check in till about 6:30, but is this segment still a go or is it now over?

ho tak kee (sp?) on bargain central 200 block e broadway, great little hk style wonton house place now gone, what a shame

still there!

pastels cafe on robson for lease, might have been the average coffee , the fact that they never cleared or cleaned the tables (outside anyways) or perhaps the infamous starbucks in stereo on the same corner

hmm thanks , had forgotten about that posting, should do more research in future!

no it wasn't, and it was actually on east 10th not west, but the name was similar to asanti or something but was the food was ghana specific and nothing to do with waffles , its now a vietnamese place, thanks for the reply though

"sash " will be opening in former buskowski's space, and ghanaiese(?) restaurant formerly on 200 block east 10th (behind hell's gate mall)no longer, anyone remember the name?? goggled to no avail, only got there once so its a shame that its gone especially as it was the only of its kind in the city, unfortunately the location was about as bad as it gets with "passer-by" traffic about slim to nill

this morning that is,anyone hear anymore?

went by bukowski's again yesterday and sign said will re-open nov 15 under new management

try asia market on east hastings for galanga they have an excellent selection of fresh herbs and spices would also be way cheaper than g.i

was down at roma on the drive for my coffee the other day and they were removing the awning at front door of bukowski's , anyone know if its just renos or is the place gone for good?

shiraz it was

ya i was thinking just that, right after posting

i heard of a monthly polish dinner put on somewhere just off of main and 15th (ish)

an aside to kurtis was wondering, did velvet actually go under( a huge surprise if so) or did she just sell off cause she might have needed a change?

another location for duffin's donuts(way more than a donut shop though) at knight and 41st

death by chocolate on denman looks to be toast

i agree, well said

highlight was chili squid from dockside , the first time i've ever enjoyed squid after hearing so many times that i just haven't had it cooked well or from the wrong place, prawns in coconut curry from oasis were huge and very juicy

dude you need to get the name right its called "taste of the city", and yes it was a good time, we need more events of its kind
