McDonald’s Canada offering $3 Big Macs Dec 10 – 16, 2019

December 12, 2019 by foodgressing Leave a Comment

Over 2.2 Big Mac sandwiches are eaten every second in Canada!

In celebration of the nationwide Big Mac love, from December 10-16, 2019 McDonald’s Canada is bringing the $3 + tax Big Mac back across the country at participating restaurants.

Did you know?

  • In the past year, over 71 million Big Mac sandwiches were consumed in Canada and nearly 1M in Vancouver alone.
  • There are 35.1M Canadians – according to the most recent census report in 2016 – and in the past year more than 71M Big Mac sandwiches have been consumed… that’s more than 2 Big Mac sandwiches per person.
  • What do people like with their Big Mac? Fries of course! In the past year, McDonald’s has served over 5M fries in Vancouver. For a limited time only, Canadians can try the Spicy Chipotle Seasoned fries with their Big Mac.
  • At an average of 10 cm per box, if you stacked every Big Mac sold in Vancouver in the past year, it would amount to more than 2,052 Science World Domes.

Jenjudan New Drinks: Brown Sugar Taro Milk & Red Bean Matcha Milk

December 9, 2019 by foodgressing Leave a Comment

Jenjudan Vancouver has launched two new drinks: Brown Sugar Taro Milk and Red Bean Matcha Milk.

Jenjudan New Drinks: Brown Sugar Taro Milk & Red Bean Matcha Milk

Red Bean Matcha Milk “宇治抹茶紅豆” features matcha, red bean, and fresh milk. Red beans can be replaced with another topping while the fresh milk cannot be substituted with soy milk. Priced at $6.50 and comes in a medium cup only.

Jenjudan New Drinks: Brown Sugar Taro Milk & Red Bean Matcha Milk

Brown Sugar Taro Milk “黑糖芋芋鮮奶” has fresh taro, brown sugar, and fresh milk. Extra toppings are allowed for this drink and a sweetness level of 30% – 50% is recommended. Soy milk can be substituted for fresh milk. Priced at $6.25 and in a medium cup only.

Jenjudan New Drinks: Brown Sugar Taro Milk & Red Bean Matcha Milk
Jenjudan New Drinks: Brown Sugar Taro Milk & Red Bean Matcha Milk
Jenjudan New Drinks: Brown Sugar Taro Milk & Red Bean Matcha Milk

Both drinks were pretty good but I enjoy a good fresh taro drink so the Brown Sugar Taro Milk hit the spot for me. The taro chunks were pretty smooth. The brown sugar was more subtle with the taro flavour more dominating.

The Red Bean Matcha Milk is nice but it’s something that is offered at many other BBT houses so it wasn’t very unique for me per se.

Also, I would as for no ice as their ice bits are small and you end up drawing a lot of ice through the straw.


About Jenjudan 珍煮丹

Founded in 1999, Jenjudan 珍煮丹 originated from Taipei’s Shilin Night Market and is best known for their brown sugar pearl milk drinks – a blend of fresh milk, brown sugar syrup and tapioca pearls.

The brand has four new outposts in Metro Vancouver: one at 1210 Robson Street (West End), 290 Robson Street (Stadium District), one at 3490 Kingsway (coming soon) and at 125-5999 Cooney Road in Richmond (coming soon).

Fairmont Hotels Annual Holiday Luncheon 2019

Fairmont Hotels held their local annual holiday luncheon to embrace the season with festive treats, cocktails and music. I had a great time as a guest of the luncheon which took place at Fairmont Waterfront. Here are a few photos from the event.

Richmond Family-Friendly Dessert Spot: BlackBall Taiwanese Dessert

December 1, 2019 by foodgressing Leave a Comment

One of my favourite places to take my family for dessert is Blackball Taiwanese Dessert in Richmond. This international Taiwanese dessert chain opened up a few months ago at 1061-8300 Capstan Way.

Richmond Family-Friendly Dessert Spot: BlackBall Taiwanese Dessert

One our last visit along with our friend David (pickydiners.com), we had the following:

  • Fresh Milk With Purple Rice & Mini Balls
  • Fresh Milk with Matcha Jelly
  • Tie Guangyin Tea with Yam Balls & Boba
  • Longan Peach Gum Dessert
  • Mini Balls Grass Jelly Dessert
Richmond Family-Friendly Dessert Spot: BlackBall Taiwanese Dessert

We really loved the Fresh Milk with Purple Rice & Mini Balls because of the chewy and nutty flavours of the purple rice.

Richmond Family-Friendly Dessert Spot: BlackBall Taiwanese Dessert

The Mini Balls Grass Jelly Dessert was a great shareable dessert and featured a luscious grass jelly topped with brown sugar shaved iced and black sesame, matcha, yam, and white rice mini balls

Richmond Family-Friendly Dessert Spot: BlackBall Taiwanese Dessert

The Longan Peach Gum Dessert was a warming, comforting and nourishing hot dessert with peach gum, longan and dates.

Richmond Family-Friendly Dessert Spot: BlackBall Taiwanese Dessert

The mega-popular toy series, Bobo & Coco, is also available in store at Blackball.  These come in box sets and for each box you buy you will also get a $10 gift certificate to dine at @liuyishouhotpot in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

Richmond Family-Friendly Dessert Spot: BlackBall Taiwanese Dessert

I definitely recommend Blackball as a great place for families to gather together for desserts. There’s something for everyone from cold to hot desserts and drinks. If you’re worried about kids getting too much sugar, I would say that you don’t really need to as the desserts aren’t really that sweet and certain drinks can be customized for sweetness.

To learn about other offerings at Blackball, see my previous post here.

Hyatt Regency Vancouver Mosaic Bar & Grill: Plant Forward Menu

December 1, 2019 by foodgressing Leave a Comment

Plant-based diets are gaining popularity as people begin to understand more of the benefits. Dining out can sometimes pose challenges for those who prefer to eat plant-based as some restaurants may have limited options.

Hyatt Regency Vancouver Mosaic Bar & Grill: Plant Forward Menu

However, Mosaic Bar & Grill at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver has a plant-forward menu featuring 6 dishes with options like Crispy Cauliflower to Beyond Portabella Burger. The menu is described as plant-forward rather than plant-based as there are some dishes that include a poached egg. Here’s a look at what we tried.


What We Tried

The Beyond Portabella Burger ($23), a vegan and gluten-free option, features a Beyond meat patty, roasted portabella mushroom, gluten free bun, cashew cheese, lettuce tomato and onion. It’s a fully-loaded plant-based burger that can satisfy your burger cravings (without the meat).

Hyatt Regency Vancouver Mosaic Bar & Grill: Plant Forward Menu

The Buddha Bowl ($21) is a nourishing bowl with red quinoa, green chick peas, mushrooms, cauliflower, spinach, roasted seeds, tomato, avocado and pickled red onion. I really liked the red quinoa and the earthy flavours of the mushrooms.

Hyatt Regency Vancouver Mosaic Bar & Grill: Plant Forward Menu

The Lentil & Chick Pea Tempeh Lettuce Wrap ($17) features house dry rub, romaine lettuce, tomato, carrot and garlic sauce. This dish wasn’t my favourite of what we tried; it just didn’t do much for me in terms of taste.

Hyatt Regency Vancouver Mosaic Bar & Grill: Plant Forward Menu

Finally, there was the Roasted Brussel Sprouts Salad ($16) with poached egg, pumpernickel, goat cheese, pomegranate, and quince vinaigrette. I enjoyed the rich, juicy sweet pomegranate contrasted with crispy roasted brussel sprouts.

Hyatt Regency Vancouver Mosaic Bar & Grill: Plant Forward Menu

Overall Impression

It was nice to see a hotel restaurant like Mosaic offer a menu focused on plant-forward options. My favourites were the Roasted Brussel Sprouts Salad and the Beyond Portabella Burger.
