Lowland Herb Farms at Trout Lake had it.

You're right about it being useless when dried.

I don't know about fresh turmeric but I've had good luck with pandan there and I've seen banana leaves at Dong Thanh on Kingsway.

Using Gari (pink pickled sushi ginger)

Thanks very much for this.

Yes, of course, why not just stir fry with it? I must go boldly!

I like the draping over devilled egg too.

Wow, what a board!

Using Gari (pink pickled sushi ginger)

I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to use up Gari in dishes other than sushi.

Pear Tree -anyone been lately?

Funny you should mention that.

I was just talking to a chef friend of mine and he says he sends everybody he knows there.

Not having been mysellf, couldn't say but it' sounds intriguing.

Taiwanese hot dogs with a rice 'bun'

To anyone who is interested

I e mailed this Formosa Reality Club. They said that to their knowledge they didn't know anyone else that was making them and that's why THEY made them.

They will keep me posted as to the next event.

God, the lengths we go to get food we like!

Taiwanese hot dogs with a rice 'bun'

Thanks grayelf.

I was looking at that. I wonder if they'd make me one without the attendant yakiniku.

Taiwanese hot dogs with a rice 'bun'

Thanks kinnickinnik.

I saw that too but it turns out they are an organization that does various events and maybe serves food at them.

I was looking more for a stall or restaurant.

Taiwanese hot dogs with a rice 'bun'

were had at the Telus Taiwan Fest we had on Granville at the beginning of September.

I loved them and wonder if anybody knows where else I can get them.

Apparently they were at the Richmond Night Market also, so they must be available somewhere.

Vancouver's best delis - what do you recommend?

I like Omnitsky's for their tongue and rye caraway bread.

From Polonus on Fraser I get smoked chicken legs, frankfurters and kielbasa. They also do an interesting juniper sausage.

Echo Euro foods. I got some nice smoked eel from them/

ISO Good Soba Restaurant

I was just wondering the same.

Regarding the ham, though, I don't wax nostalgic for a better quality of it in the dish in Japan. It simply wasn't the case.

They'd typically put radish sprouts, egg, julienned ham and tomato on it.

My lids seem to be disappearing at an alarming rate.

Ming Wo no longer has loose lids.

I want a lid that will fit a 7 to 12 inch pan. Any ideas where?

Fisherman's Terrace - what to order

Okay, for this birthday, we've decided to do Fisherman's Terrace as we'll be there anyway.

Since I'm now scared out of my mind because of not being able to order in the language, what dishes should we order?

Birthday Chinese Dinner in Richmond

A friend and I are going to be taken out for our birthday (around same time).

I'm not wanting to steer everyone wrong but I wonder if there is a place that could be recommended around Aberdeen Mall?

Rainflower? Shanghai Rive?, where we don't have to speak the language.

ISO old school Eggplant Parmigiana

Finally got here, ck1234. Thanks for the rec. It was a bit salty but pretty tasty with a big accompanying caesar salad and a bit of bread.

Diverse, interesting menu for such a small place.

There's a place called Osteria Napoli on Renfrew I've heard about that serves it as well if anyone's interested.
