The 2-item version is probably $20 or $21?
And for dine-in, there'll be another 10 - 15% of tips too.

Has anyone been to Big Thumb Cafe on Kingsway lately? I'm curious if it is still good. I haven't been there in close to a decade now.

It's actually one of the saddest things that with the amount of Chinese people in this City you can't have a good HK cafe in East Van. Oscars on Rupert and 22nd before it finally closed and places like 54th ave Cafe only survived all these years because of location and lack of options. Now I need to get me a black pepper chicken steak with iced Hong Kong milk tea.

I prefer Van Tea on Main/41st though - a lot cleaner and comfortable.
Anyone ever go to Lido Cafe in Richmond? I finally went a few months back and quite like it.

Looking for some advice.
We just found out a buddy (let's call him, John) has some sort of liver problem now and it's likely due to stress from his life and that he drinks a decent amount.
Now this is all second hand from his wife who talked to my wife about his condition. John's wife doesn't know he drinks a lot as he doesn't drink around her, but I know for a fact that he sneaks drinks in when she's not looking becaues i'm literally with him.
My wife told me I need to talk to him now that he has an actual liver condition and that I should tell him he needs to stop drinking.
What am I supposed to do here? Am I supposed to tell this grown ass friend of mine how to live his life and to change the person he is. Is this diagnosed condition not the wake up call he needs? He didn't even telll me about his condition and I saw him last week, doesn't that mean he doesn't want me to know?
I've known this guy a long ass time, but what's the call here?

I've known this guy a long ass time, but what's the call here? | You don't need to "tell him how to live his life" but you should probably talk to him about it and offer support if you're more familiar and friendly with him than just a coworker.
The fact that he hides it from his wife is proof that he knows it's wrong, but he's an alcoholic so he just hides it.
But he still has to want to quit, and you can't force anything onto him. Declining health, even liver disease isn't enough to automatically make an alcoholic quit. "hitting rock bottom" isn't either, so snitching isn't going to make him quit either.
IMO offer support, but don't go into it thinking you can convince him to quit drinking. If he doesn't want to, then he won't. If he says sure I'd like to try, then go from there. First step there would probably be for him to tell his wife

If my bro on here has a drinking problem I’d go buy him some more booze. You cant help people who don’t want help. The first steps starts with him and not you. Leave him alone, these types of things is better for self realization than some external force trying to pressure change

Derailing your post below:
When i was like 11 years old, my mom would deport me back to the motherland every summer, i stayed on a backyard farm with my moms friends.
The dad, liked to drink.
The mother, did not like that the dad liked to drink.
I had two whole months of doing nothing, a couple times a week i would run down to the corner store with like 20c that i would find on the ground to buy bubble gum or whatever.
Sometimes the dad would see me leaving, so he would "take out the trash" in the exact same time.
He would catch me just outside their complex door, or such and it would go like this: "hey HEY donk, wait up! i have an extra 60c for you, if you just bring me back a bottle, but be QUICK!, i only have a few minutes before the wife starts asking questions!"
So anyways i would run down with my extra 60c, super excited, get to the corner store, pick up a 2L bottle of beer, and some extra gum or candy for myself, then run back to the front of the gate where the dad was waiting for me. (Yes they will sell to beer kids in ukraine, they dont care, same goes for cigarette)
By the time i got to the gate, i was greeted with the biggest smile from the dad, eyes glossy, soul glowing, the best part was watching him CHUG the shit out of this 2L bottle within seconds, i looked up at him, like a god, chugging that shit as if it was his last meal.
Every. Time.

I’d step in, liver failure is no joke. I’ve seen patients turn homer simpson yellow from it and there is no medicine or cure for it except getting a liver transplant, which is not readily available and if you are an alcoholic they will turn you down. Yes it sucks to give up booze and fatty foods but thats what you gotta do to stay alive

I find it a little surprising that the wife doesn't know about John's drinking habits, or how much he drinks.
When I used to drink (casually), my parents always knew. There is the alcohol breath, and then my clothes would take on some sort of alcohol smell as well since apparently I'd sweat something out that smell different.
At any rate, does "John" have any children, esp if they are relatively young? I've heard of / known a few people who had some health issues / scares that really made them reflect on their life choices and habits. In these people's case, one of the frequently cited reasons for them to change their (bad) habits was because they still wanted to be around watching their kids grow up, or be there as their kids grow up.
IMO it is more rare for the husband to watch to change / give up some sort of (bad) habits for the wife, or even for himself. But he'd be willing to do it for the kids.
Is that an angle you can work with?
(On the other hand, I feel like alcoholism and gambling are both habits that are very difficult to quit.)

OTOH, Noople, the replacement for Seahouse Fish and Chips is great value for money. An authentic dan dan noodle for $9 and they still have the original fish and chips available.
