Vancouver/Richmond Trip Part 4:

Just before heading back across the border, we went to Kirin for lunch. Kirin is very packed for dim sum on weekends. Usually you can’t get in without a reservation which was what happened to us the first day.

Delicious egg tart, fresh from the oven.

Siu Mai (Steam Pork Dumpling)

Plum sauce steam pork - a twist on the regular black bean steam pork. Not the best looking dish but it was very good.

The little one decided that she didn’t want dim sum, so we ordered pan-fried noodles. Delicious! Noodles were crispy and just the right amount of sauce to soak it a little. The little one loved it so much that she sat so quietly enjoying her noodles that for a moment, I thought she wasn’t with us!

Vancouver/Richmond Trip Part 3:

Since there are so many restaurants in Richmond, we usually like to try different ones everytime we go there. This time, we headed over to Sea Harbour for dinner.

We ordered Hand Shredded Five-Spice Chicken. The chicken was good but it was not anything special. Pretty ordinary but the salt-based dipping sauce that accompanied it was good.

Minced Pork with Chayote. Very tasty and delicious.

But the best dish of the night would have to be the Dungeness Crab with Kabocha Squash Hot Pot. I’ve never had Kabocha Squash before. It turned out to be very sweet and really add depth to the black-bean based sauce. Will definitely have to come back for this again.
