Gastropod!
My final dine-out.
Desserts--top notch.
Appies--presentation rocks.
The Mains?--dry.
Is it me, or the common theme with my white restaurants (of my choosing) are overcooked protein?
That's why I eat raw. Yum. Gooey, fleshy, rawness. I think that's what I'll eat in heaven.
Anyhow...
$50 bucks later...
I think I'm fasting for the rest of the year.

Restaurant numero dos -- Blue Water Cafe. Upscale pretentious Yaletown dinery Please bring your professionalism and great looks.
Decent food, delightful conversation with Mum.
A snippet of our verbal exchange went something like this.
M: How was your day?
S: I went to the tattoo parlour.

1/3
I'm living life extravagantly, enjoying these two weeks of dine-out Vancouver. Unfortunately, many of the great restaurants are now on the $35 list which furthers the hole in my purse. My reasoning goes like this: it's be a rarity to see my pretty face indulging in Vancouver's fine-dining restaurant scene.
Here's my attempt at a Restaurant Review.
No worries, I won't make a habit of it.
This is a fabulous promotion from the recesses of Tourism Vancouver. When everyone intends to "cut back" and save money after Christmas, many of us end up dining out multiple times for $35/$25/$15 for a 3-course meals. Great food. But after drinks and tax, we're looking at 50 bucks a pop. Ouch.
Rare is the winner of "silver" in the "new fine dining" category of Vancouver Magazine. Seriously, Vancouver is quickly becoming a one-stop cuisine destination, rivaling the best in the US.
I failed by forgetting to bring my camera. But you can just imagine. A delectable 3 course meal. Not counting the two "from the chef" plates that came out to greet us... for free!
Only problem is that for someone who enjoys raw fish, thought the edges of my fish were a bit dry. And my dad's beef tasted like something from the Taiwanese beef noodle house. The flavours in the dishes however nicely complemented each other.
And the service was impeccable.
I'd go there again.... If I had $50 bucks to spare.
After all this, trust me. I'll be dining in.
