He mentions missing Chinese food, but there's a reason there isn't much of the Good Stuff -- it's all up in Richmond, BC. It's just a couple hour drive north over the border, and is a small town just south of Vancouver with a population that I can't confirm, but appears to be roughly 50% Cantonese. Some of the great food there: - Food courts in the malls. Seriously, Parker Place if you like it "almost a bit too real" and Yaohan Centre if you and the family want to get a mish-mash of dishes. - Dim Sum Restaurants. They're a little further south on No. 3 Road, closer to the Nordstrom's, but they're big, clean, fresh, and always packed. - Hot Pot. Seriously, having tried in NY, Chicago, SF, etc. I've never had reasonable Cantonese-style hot pot until there. - Buddhist Vegetarian. The hours require some planning, but the Internation Buddhist Temple has stunningly amazing vegetarian food. And it's a great site, even for non-Buddhists. - Tofu dessert! Yes, at least as of a couple of years ago, there's even a late-night tofu dessert shop (better than it sounds, trust me) in the strip mall area buried about a block south of the Yahoan Centre. My wife's originally from HK and I lived in Seattle for 6 years, so this food knowledge was crucial to a happy marriage...
