Many fond memories of bak kut teh. There are two distinct version as I recall: one very plain (just pork bones essentially) and the other - the Nonya version - highly aromatic with star anise, cinnamon, cloves and a host of other spices. I haven't found a source in Vancouver - but please let me know if you do. ← Cafe D'Lite serves a version of the "Pork Rib Herbal Tea" in a claypot. Haven't tried it myself though.

Hello all, long-time lurker, first-time poster, please be gentle with me .... Does anyone know of a coffee place in Vancouver/Richmond that uses the siphon method (or glass vacuum pot) to serve coffee (preferrably Japanese "charcoal-roasted" coffee)? http://baharris.org/coffee/History.htm My partner fell in love with this Japanese-style coffee while we were in Hong Kong last October. It is the preferred method of preparing coffee in popular coffee chains like UCC and Pokka in Asia. I vaguely remember having had a cup of Blue Mountain coffee two or three years ago in a Chinese-run cafe in a mall (Union Square?) on Capstan Way or Sexsmith Road in Richmond. It was served using the siphon method. I tried to locate it again last week to no avail. Found an interesting new Taiwanese restuarant instead, but that's another story.
