^ :sweetjesus:

100% sure. i know someone who has worked there for probably a decade now.

holy shit i can't believe it HKYK is closed, i might have to ask them next time im i pop back to HK since we know the owners quite well in HK

also dun forget that u can also play nhl at home with ur buds while u eat hotpot :fuckyea:

i see the persians taught the greeks how to make Briyani like they taught spain to make Paella :troll:

You should ask the person if hkyk is just changing its name but same owner or new name and new owner for good.

Where's a good place to buy a hotpot machine to cook at home? And TNT for the food? Lol white guy here.

I was a big fan of posh, but last time I went, their menu was almost cut in half it seems

If by hotpot machine you mean the little gas grills, then just about everywhere. London Drugs might have cheap ones; if not you can always try T&T.
There are also electric hot pot "machines", its basically a one piece stove that'd be plugged into a wall, you'd have to look in more Asian places for that. They're not that great though, because you're restricted to using that same stupid pot and most of the time it'll be too small :lol

:sweetjesus: should holla next time u make that!

this guy said what i've been thinking for years, thank you Johnson C

orzo is pasta, not rice. Also the use of cinnamon for the meat sauce is more of a turkish thing than persian.

:D turkey/persia all the same to me /shrug



;) i always rag on my greek friend about turkey/persia so you'll have to excuse me maj :P

the only greek resturant i ate at was minoas greek taverna on kingsway, that place considered good? i liked it

^ not very good.

i actually heard they got good roast lamb. I have put some serious thought into opening a restaraunt... the sad part is people in this city dont have good taste in food so they would still line up to stephos for 12 pounds of rice over some real greek food that costs more.

Why is this thread talking about greek food? Or is it because greek food is just as bad as hot pot?

OMG.
That looks effin delicious!

I apologize on behalf of the idiots without taste, there are tons of those. I've have stepho's wasn't impressed.

The best roast lamb I have had was at Sympatico in kits. Any other suggestions?



As for hot pot, I'm chinese and cheap. My friends are too.
The best place we have found for hot pot meat is actually a korean meat shop.
Han Kook Meats
Han Kook Meat

It's on Kingsway near Boundary. Cheap and good quality. This has been our go-to place for hot pot for years.

And yes, they have lamb :D

buddys family had a couple greek restaurants in the past; from their experience i'd say dont do it :P

they ended up making a pizza joint and "greeked" the pizzas up, charged a premium but, ended up being pretty successful with it paid off their debts collected an adequate amount sold the place and are now retiring in greece

friend is still stuck being a cook at someone elses restaurant in greece though and is stressed the hell out since he's got a kid now and there is no economy over there

I would never open a restaurant for money, not in a city like Vancouver.
There isn't enough of a collective appreciation for taste in this city, at least not with a decent ratio compared to the number of restaurants here.

The only reason I would serve food here is either for my own amusement or as a retirement job only to kill time and only aim to break even.


If I was rolling in the money, I would like to open a place here to show people how things ought to be done. Ethical bar, kick ass food at a decent price, wide selection of liquor. Hoping I win the lottery one day and can show Vancouver what we are missing.

i honestly wanted to hosted an RS greek food night, but I don't really have a home. lol.

And pretty much what styling red said.

Some family friends of mine own Niagra Falls in ladner and if you guys in richmond odnt mind going through the tunnel it actually has some pretty go faux greek food. Apparently the pizza is open.

Whenever I eat at greek resteraunts I only eat calamari anyways... no pilafi, and only greek salad.

Once you have calamari the grilled way with a little bit of olive oil lemon and oregeno...
way tooo good.

Yeah I'm usually pretty critical about food and stuff but thats cause a few of us on revscene actually only care about eatting good food. Best feeling in the world. I make a habit of it of always eatting at a new place every week. Also when I eat in richmond I order in Canto.

I have to say I agree with Majin, I'm chinese (all be it very white washed) and I hate hotpot and find it horrid. Different folks, different strokes.

Ditto to the above... hot pot is definitely one of my bottom choices when going out to eat.

from hot pot to greek food


interesting
