Where can I eat X locally?
 

This will be similar to the 'Where can I buy this locally' except this will be food related. I'm sure we all experienced food that we had on a vacation that we've been craving for that we have no idea we can get locally or something we had once but the menu/restaurant discontinued it.

I'll start by asking where I can get some goong che nam pla (thai cold prawns) locally. I've had it almost everywhere in HK and Lotus of Siam in Vegas and me and the gf are craving it all the damn time

Chocolate cream pies. I've had plain chocolate cream pie back in the day when the Ironwood Tim Hortons opened but since then I haven't seen a place that sold pies of just chocolate and cream without any fruit.

Wonder how long til we see an inappropriate cream pie joke

I was planning on making the Vietnamese version of this! called tom tai chan. not sure how similar it is to the version your looking for but Im guessing the only difference is the Viet version has nước mắm pha added to it. that looks bomb tho! I would also love to know where I can get this locally lol

where can i get authentic chicago style deep dish pizza

Is there any restaurants that sells tom tai chan? What is nuoc man pha?
That looks fuckin amazing. Hope we find out soon, I wanna try that

Anyone know where I can get a good Arancini? Only place I found one was in Bosa foods, and it was pretty bad.

Closest I have found is San Remo in Poco but not that close.. I can't wait to go back to Chi-town to eat pizza!!

dunno of any restaurants yet but if you find one holla lol

nuoc mam pha is the sauce you get when you go to a Vietnamese restaurant and order a rice dish or spring rolls

Yaggers on Pender has pulled pork sloppy joes, Number E Food on Burrard, Save On Meats on hastings used to have it as a daily special! For the cream pie maybe try Coldstone?

+1 for San remo if you're in the area. Not sure if its authentic or not but its pretty good, although I've never had similar styled pizza so I can't compare

Hmmmm..I looked up the menu on Number E Food but I don't see it. Unless its an off-menu thing

Posted this yonders ago in the "Where can I find this locally" but i'll try here as well since it's food

Anyone know where I can get the Philippines candy "yema"? The orangey yellow pyramid shape candy?

The Edsa Mart at no.5 and cambie in richmond!

If you don't mind grocery store ones, Save On and Safeway have been the best I've found personally (they're mini ones though).

Yaggers is amazing!

In for some Southern soul food... like gumbo...jambalaya...cajun...



@murdoc - how close is San Remo in Poco for that pizza? Like do they get 75% atleast ?

Tried a Save On one today. I didn't like the crust. The search continues

I wouldn't even say 76% but its a big thicker pizza then we can normally get around here. I swear Chicago is the only place you can get a pizza close

I make my own kinda sloppy joes and its pretty tasty and beyond easy. Brown some beef and then i toss in this Heinz Chili sauce cook it in and then put it on a toasted bun with cheese and its tastes awesome

You can grab a quick jambalaya fix from the Cactus club for $10 or so.

Tip: you can customize it
-ask for extra andouille sausage and bacon
-extra sauce
-for the rice, you can do white rice, brown rice, quinoa, I would recommend brown rice and quinoa combo

Finally found some in Langley at a Thai/Laos restaurant called Naka Bistro

Oh man. Naka Bistro is goood. Try the entree sampler and Kao poon.

Didn't have any, went yesterday and asked :(

^ weren't Naka Bistro featured in the Van Sun a while ago (3 weeks ago)?

Only issue was htat it's in langley......

^Meh...for good food its worth it.

Back in the day Taka's at White Rock. Crossed the border for ribs at the bbq pit in Seattle etc.

Speaking of ribs, are there any good local places? I don't like Memphis Blues. I go to Re-up sometimes in New West at the Quay market's food court. Not a fan of Hogshack all that much either

Bruhhhhh that looks kills
Do you remember what the dish is called
Too bad it's in Langley
