This creamy, thick chia pudding is easy to make, packed full of nutrients and antioxidants like Vitamin C and folate for a healthy kick during breakfast, lunch or dessert! All it takes is 3 ingredients and countless variation. Totally customizable to your personal preference!
Make it dairy-free with oat milk or your choice of milk alternatives like coconut milk, almond milk, cashew milk, hemp milk, etc. I chose oat milk for its neutral taste, creaminess and viscosity. Use creamier type milk for creamier, thicker pudding.
We always have BC Frozen Blueberries at home because we love the taste of summer year-round. BC Blueberries are plump and extremely juicy! You can purchase BC Blueberries at the frozen section of any supermarket.
Making chia seed pudding is super easy. All it takes is 3 ingredients: chia seeds, oat milk (or your chose of milk alternative) and BC Frozen Blueberries.

We like it of the robust menu options and availability of crowd favourites.
The Rise Eatery’s Dine Out Menu is price pointed at $35. If you’ve been following @instanomss on Instagram, then you would have already seen the IG stories and how delicious the food is.
The Rise Eatery looks forward to showcasing some of their most popular items as well as some seasonal items. So there will be a good variety of dishes to choose from in addition to the prix fixe menu items during DOV2020.
APPETIZERS
ENTREES
DESSERTS
“Chicken Seoul Good”: Korean style fried chicken, wild mushroom cream, truffle oil, grated parmesan. An earthy and comfort snack to start the evening.
“A Curve Ball”: House vegan cheese, spinach & mushroom arancini, masala pumpkin seed romesco sauce, sun-dried tomato chutney. This new menu will have a permanent place in my books. I love the spicy chutney sauce and the soft creamy vegan cheese!
“Uni-Versal Pasta”: House XO sauce sautéed prawns, squid ink pasta, sea urchin cream, free run egg yolk, flying fish roe, toasted seaweed. This is my all-time favourite from Chef Dan Leung. Option to have double the Uni +$7.
“Golly Squash!”: Slow roasted kabocha squash, sautéed kale & medley of mushrooms, smoked marinara, pepita pesto, crispy tempeh. Vegan and Gluten-Free.
“Fryday Meat-up”: Grilled 7oz sterling flat iron steak, miso gravy, togarashi compound butter, frites, spicy vegetable jardinière. This was perhaps my least favourite and I wished the fries were crispier and served on the side (so it stays crispy.)
“Ode to Adobo”: Duck leg confit, Filipino sausage & edamame cassoulet, pomme purée.
“Luv U So Matcha”: Matcha green tea cheese tart, raspberry coulis, crispy white chocolate pearls.
“I Care-a-mel About U”: Salted caramel crème brûlée, pecan praline, brown butter quinoa crumble. I really liked this dessert and all the crunchy praline!

Tojo’s is a Japanese restaurant in Vancouver that is internationally acclaimed for creating exquisite food. Chef Hidekazu Tojo creates dishes that are fresh, unique with a modern twist yet rooted in Japanese fine dining traditions.
The restaurant is spacious, featuring a sushi bar, cocktail and sake bar, lounge area and dining room.
I was invited to Tojo’s for the launch of their new Happy Hour menu beginning December between Monday to Saturday (4 to 6 pm).
Tojo’s Happy Hour menu features exclusive cocktails crafted by BC Barman Jeff Savage from Fairmont Pacific Rim. There is a variety of both raw and cooked food and yakitori options.
We ended the evening with Okonomiyaki. This housemade Japanese pancake was hearty yet made with a light batter without a lot of flour used. Just plenty of shredded cabbage, shrimp and scallops.
Tojo’s Happy Hour is worth checking out and the food pairs nicely with the cocktail options. Unwind after a long day’s work or simply enjoy some pre-drinks before dinner service!

Torafuku in Vancouver’s Chinatown is now open for lunch service and I’m very excited. I’ve been a fan of this “Lucky Tiger” since it started as an Asian Fusion food truck “Le Tigre”. I’ve been here for events and during Dine Out Vancouver – not…
The Red Accordion opened earlier in the February 2019, taking over the old location of Forkhill Bistro, The Fat Badger and Le Gavroche on Alberni Street. To be honest, I had to visit this location since Le Gavroche days when it started becoming underwhelming. And…
AFURI RAMEN from Japan is now open in Vancouver (well, Richmond to be exact!) Afuri Ramen + Dumplings is located at 140-7971 Alderbridge Way next to Chunyang Bubble Tea. The Afuri brand was established in 2001 with locations across Japan, Portland, and soon to be opened in Hong Kong. I was excited about last night’s media review, tasting and first look before it opens official at 11 am today January 7, 2020.
The restaurant seats 59. It is spacious, bright with high ceilings. Afuri uses a self-ordering kiosk system. Simply place your order at one of the three kiosks, take your ticket and wait at your table.
Afuri’s signature broth and ramen noodles are prepared fresh daily in-house. The chicken-based broth serves approximately 500 bowls of. 300 lbs of chicken (meat and bones), 3 types of dried fish, kombu seaweed, and plenty of fresh vegetables are boiled at 90 degrees – separating the fat and the clear broth. The fat is later added back to your bowl when its ready to be served.
Another signature of Afuri is their Yuzu Broth (Shio, Shoyu, Ratan, Tsuyu Tsukemen). The yuzu broth is refreshing and fragrant, closely resembling that of the grapefruit, with overtones of mandarin orange. The intensity and aroma of fresh yuzu is incredible without being overpowering.
Yuzu Shio Ramen 16: This light and refreshing ramen noodle is my favourite. It is fragrant and goes well with the thinner ramen noodles. This would be equally perfect in the Summer months when a typical Tonkotsu would be otherwise too rich and heavy. This yuzu broth is much lighter than Marutama.
Tonkotsu Shio 17: The broth is rich and flavourful with a layer of black garlic oil on top but still lighter than most Tonkotsu broths commonly found in Vancouver.
The chashu pork was very tender and flavour and the optional sides were all quite nice. I especially liked the fried garlic but wished they would have the option to add more finely chopped green onions.
The gohan rice bowls are topped with a slow cooked runny egg, bamboo shoots, frisee, green onion, pickled ginger, togarashi, nori and is generously portioned.
Buta Dumplings 10: The pan-fried gyozas are deliciously crispy with a juicy meaty filling.
Chicken Karaage 7: Nicely deep fried with a crispy coat of seasoning and served with a yuzu kosho egg salad dipping mayo and fried shishito pepper.
We also sampled few signature cocktails including
Overall, Afuri Ramen + Dumplings in Richmond is off to a great start and I’m excited to revisit this again. Arrive early to avoid disappointment as there will be long line ups during the first while of its official opening!
