Memory Corner

Hey everyone!

A month ago, Phil & I went to a Taiwanese Restaurant across from Richmond Center called Memory Corner. We're always looking for new Taiwanese restaurants in Richmond because we always tend to go to Bubble World when we don't know where to go. This time around, we searched up on Zomato in advance to see what other Taiwanese Restaurants are in the area. The ratings and reviews look pretty positive for Memory Corner so we decided to give it a try!

When we first stepped in, we were instantly intrigued by some of the displays shown in their restaurant. At the back of the restaurant were two Chinese looking dolls that were being displayed at the back. Their menu was also written and designed in a very traditional style. 

Pearl Castle-Richmond Centre

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the short absence lately but I'm back with another blog about a Taiwanese restaurant called Pearl Castle, located in Richmond Centre. I've gone to Pearl Castle many times ever since my high school years and I still very much enjoy it even though competition is piling up in the area. Their first location that I know of started off in Continental Mall. Very popular area filled with restaurants. The one I'll be talking about today is the location inside of Richmond Center, across from McDonalds.

So for drinks, 99% of the time I'll order my Honey Milk Tea with pearls ($5.25) but from time to time, that 1% might trigger me to get my next favourites which is between mango slush or green apple greentea. For this particular visit, I just stayed with my usual. 

As for Phil, he ordered Taro Milk Tea ($4.95), which is extremely rare because he usually goes for aloe or chrysanthemum.  

I ordered the Taiwanese Meat Sauce on Rice ($5.75) and I was extremely shocked that my meal came with side dishes. In order to have side dishes, it has to be considered a combo of some sort, but in my case I got all this for only $5.75! What a deal! The meat sauce was kind of on the drier side but still very tasty. 

I love their side dishes because everything in them are just so delicious. They consist of seaweed, tofu & cabbage. The seaweed & tofu is just a tad spicy but that's why I love them so much.

Bubble World-Richmond

Hello food lovers!

So Bubble World has always been our GO TO place when we can't figure out where to go for food. The food is always good, drinks are always on point and the service never disappoints. To be honest, my last few visits has not been as great as before, but it never bugged me that much until yesterdays visit. So I joined Phil after I was off work and we ordered right when I got there, since it was nearly 8pm already. We sat approximately 15-20 mins...and usually our drinks would've been ready...We thought maybe it's busy so we waited for a bit longer...still nothing came. Our main waitress was busy, so we asked this other waitress who walked by to check up on our order. Apparently our waitress messed something up and didn't process our order over. The fact was not because she forgot, the fact our waitress did not come by and apologize to us was just unacceptable to me. We also tried to call her over a couple of times and she would pretend to not see us and just walk away. I really don't know what was wrong with her so I didn't even bother asking her for anything anymore. The other waitress, who checked up on our order even apologized for the OTHER person's mistake. Usually the waitresses at Bubble World are very nice, but this person was just rude.

Okay, enough of the ranting.

So for the food, I just ordered something simple & easy, Meat sauce on Rice (Approx. $5.95) with my usual Honey Milk Tea with Pearls.

When I got my food, I noticed that the bowl was not what they usually use. Because from what I remember from before, they used a bigger bowl. I don't know if it's the bowls illusion, but I thought the portion was smaller than before. Overall the tastes was still great and the drink was on point like usual.
