Summer Vancouver, Canada by Rail: Makan @ our own: Vancouver, Kamloops, Banff and Jasper

Meals on our own... where we explored mostly places near our accommodation.
Indeed, we tried a variety of food... a mix of western, oriental (including japanese) and those of the First Natives.

Vancouver

2 June, Dinner @ The Vancouver Fish Company on Granville Island

3 June, Breakfast @ Maxim's, Chinatown

Maybe because it was still early, there wasn't much choices in Chinatown, but we walked into a known 'label' - the food was reasonably priced, but, considering it's a Hong Kong cafe, its standard was not near to expectation, actually.

Porridge was pretty tasty :)

... but the noodle was a bit too oily.

8 June, Dinner @ Marutama Ra-men

There was a long queue despite that fact that it was close to 8 pm. Oh yes, most of the seats were occupied by Asians! One thing to note, this restaurant only accepts payment via credit card!

9 June, Breakfast @ Cafe in Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

A cup of cappuccino and a big piece of vegetarian samosa

9 June, Lunch @ Mahony and Sons, Canada Place

In Canada, it seemed that restaurants do not charge water (be it cold or hot).

Indeed, it's usually nicely served with a slice of lemon :)

Papaya salad, which is definitely way different from the Thai style's.

It came with cheese and fried wanton skin! crisp....

Potato soup

Actually wanted to order ribs but the restaurant did not have. The waitress recommended the bites and it turned out to be our chinese-styled roasted pork.
