A couple Saturday afternoons enjoying a Hoji-cha Latte at Handworks Coffee Studio (7705 6th Street, Burnaby, BC)

Two visits to  the new DiBeppe Restaurant in Gastown (8 West Cordova, Vancouver, BC)

Hot pot with friends at Dolar Shop (720-5300 No. 3 Road, Richmond)

Better yet… having Japanese and Chinese hot pot with friends, the best kind of gathering during the cold winter season:

Japanese dashi base with daikon (previously we also added sake kasu); selection of vegetables,meats and main focus on seafood (manila clams, Dungeness crab, razor clams)

The highlight was Razor clams (from New Zealand) purchased at local supermarket (T & T Supermarket), succulent and tender, it was really worthwhile.

Best Hot pot condiment: Betty King Sauce
