3 days BootCamp @ Vancouver - Day 2 & 3

Date: June 10-11, 2008 (Tuesday, Wednesday)
Place: Vancouver, Canada
Day 2

after a long day of "training", a colleague took us out for drink.. & she ordered the Yam Fries.. which was made of sweet potatoes.. i sort of recall seeing this somewhere in Toronto, but i've never tried it before.. it tasted good!

i then joined my aunt & we stopped by an ice-cream place.. it's called La Casa Gelato.. it's famous for its varieties of ice-cream.. 218 flavors!! photo-taking is not allowed inside the store, so i took some pics from the outside..

the parking is just across the street, & there is an area for customers to enjoy their ice-cream on the left side of the parking..

we had dinner at Kamei Royale Japanese Restaurant.. aunt said many Japanese travellers went there..

Kanpachi Sashimi, O-Toro Sashimi, Beni Sashimi

Ika Sashimi & Uni Sushi

Wild Salmon & Amaebi

Mirugai

we sat at the sushi bar & chat with the sushi chef throughout the dinner.. (he is Chinese & can speak cantonese..) he made a sushi roll for other customers & we asked him to put it there for us to take pic..


Chawan Mushi & Ika Yaki

service was good.. the waitress wore traditional Japanese kimonos.. they were friendly.. & the sushi chef said he likes taking pics of food as well..
re food, the sashimi was fresh & the food were good.. the O-Toro was excellent!
however, we both think that Miko Sushi is better..

dessert seemed to be a necessity during my trip..
we visited Marble Slab for ice-cream..


here, we first choose the ice-cream flavor, & pick the fruits or nuts or candies (aka Mixins) we like.. the server will then mix everything together on a frozen marble slab.. there are many choices of cones too..

here's the menu..

i just found out that there are Marble Slab in Toronto too..
Day 3

it's half day for me as my returning flight was at 3pm.. "training" again whole morning & then i managed to spare an hour to walk around the town.. (actually just a walk on Robson Street..)

took some pics of the well-known Vancouver Public Library.. the building looks imposing..



so, this concluded my 3-days Vancouver trip..
training -> eating -> training -> eating again.. hee hee..
