Miura Waffle Milk Bar

2521 Main St, 
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E5

Miura Waffle + Milk Bar is a Japanese-run waffle and drink joint.  They are known for their savory waffle sandwiches "sandos", using waffle as the bread.  Their popular dishes include bulgogi sando (bulgogi beef and kimchi) and GFC sando (with garlic fried chicken).  

We visited Miura for dessert and ordered the Dreamy Berry Waffle + ice cream.  Their waffle is light and crispy served with mixed berries, fresh whipped cream, chocolate sauce.  It is the perfect amount of sweetness.  Not overly sweet.  It also looks like they make their own ice cream as it is soft-served.  Overall, delicious!  I thought it was a bit pricey though.

Very Dreamy Berry Waffle  ($6.50) + Ice cream ($1.50)

Love love love their lunch sets here! So many choices! Everything is to perfection.  The sashimi are so fresh.  And I'm also super impressed with their cooked items.  The clay pot to hold the seafood hot pot is so cute.  The broth is so light and delicious.  Awesome lunch! Make sure to make a researvation as this restaurant is super busy!  And then go to the Steveston Village for a walk around the harbour and look for fresh seafood or cute little boutique shops of stationery, kitchen, and toy stores.

Daishimaki ($7.00) - egg omelet 
Tamago Ramen ($10.50) -  BBQ pork, seaweed, and crispy onions with a soft boiled egg in a rich chicken broth ramen.

So so excited to go to get sushi with friends!! On a recent trip to go to CNPN, I was able to meet up with friends from Vancouver for dinner!  Since I wanted sushi and only know how to take the bus from UBC on broadway, Hazel recommended Suika snack bar.  This meet up was my first time, alone without Charles, and meeting Hazel and Kaiser for dinner.  I had such a great time meeting up and getting to know them better =) The food from Suika was amazing! Loved every dishes we ordered!  And I love how their service never gets slow or forget about you.  They even always walk you out the door. In fact I liked it so much, the second time on a road trip with Haley, Danny, and Freddy, I brought them here for dinner. And they loved it too =)  P.S. just sad I couldn't show them the doraemon background menu.
