Summer in North America 2018 Part 21 - Japadog, Granville Island, and more food

On the day after we came back from Seattle, I slept in. Miss Kiki and DH went out to the marsh near my sister's house and explored some more. They had more sun than I did last time I went with Miss Kiki. They ventured far enough to find an observation deck you can climb for a view...






Later that day, we all went to McArthurGlen Factory Outlet located right by the Vancouver International Airport. We didn't really go there for shopping, but for Japadog, the Japanese style hotdog chain that started as a food truck. Their original location is in Vancouver.









After lunch, I went to the airport with my sister because I had a few questions to ask the people at the immigration office. The two kids were left behind with DH at the playground at the outlet.


When we got back to the playground afterwards, Miss Kiki asked me if she had to go or if she can still play some more. My sister was so surprised with that question she didn't think it was normal. Lol!

From there DH and I went to Granville Island. He went to a brew house for some drinks while I walked around the area. It was drizzling a little but it wasn't a big deal.




Granville Island is a peninsula and a shopping district in Vancouver. The area had various venues such as a public market, different restaurants and breweries, as well as small boutiques and art galleries. Most shops close pretty early but some were still open when we got there.

















On the way home from Granville Island, we stopped at a Greek Restaurant for dinner. The food was okay, I think. Not that special....




On the following day, we went for dimsum at Tin Tin Harbour in Richmond again. It was a Saturday, so we had the full gang with us. We separated ways after meal but this time with different groupings. The kids went with the dads to Science World, and I went with my sister for coffee and shopping.




Miss Kiki volunteered for an experiment at Science World

We all got back together for dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Burnaby, and then we went home. The food was pretty good! 






Please stay tuned for the next post: Whistler Village!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

  If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
