Last weekend, I went to dine here with my parents, and I thought introducing it to some of the members of DC in Vancouver would be nice. For those who have been here before, would you like to tell me of your experience here, and whether it was good or not?

For the set lunches, I ordered their garlic shrimp fried rice. It came with a creamy soup (which I forgot to photograph) which tasted delicious. The fried rice came quite quickly, and was on a plate that was at least 20x20 cm. The prawns were quite plentiful, and were large as well. The rice had a nice aroma and taste to it, and due to the sheer size of the plate of rice, I could barely just finish it.


For $8.95, I would have liked for it to be a little cheaper, but I'm not complaining when it's thousands of times better than school cafeteria food. =D

Out of all the places that I have tried bubble tea, I think this one takes the cake. First of all, the cup is very large. It holds so much, that I had to get it packaged into a regular bubble tea cup for take-out. >.<


This drink is called "Fire on Ice" And it contains strawberries, mango, peach and lychee flavours. All of which are my favourite fruits, etc; On the bottom, you can make out the pearls, but the other ingredients are harder to see. They are coconut jelly, and unique mango stars. That's right. mango stars. You have a choice of adding one or more of these ingredients if you would like for no extra charge. ^ ^


Unfortunately, this drink cost me $4.95. Personally though, taking the size and flavour into consideration, this drink was well worth the money.

They have a Site here for anybody who is interested. They have their menu on the site, as well as the list of drinks and prices.
Their address from their site is: 7994 Granville ST [At 64th]


Try this place out, I'm sure you won't regret it.

    Oh right, I might've seen this one time as I pass by... but of course haven't gone in there. There doesn't seem to be a lot in that fried rice ^^; Looks delish though. Definitely will have to try that bubble tea! Looks crazy big and tasty!

    Isn't this like any other asian cafe like Bubble World or Orange Corner? There's a ton of these all across Greater Vancouver and to be honest the food is good but portions small, prices high, and the msg usage too much.

      I'd say this is 2.5-3.5 bowls of rice, but yea, costly.
