Midam Cafe- 팥빙수 and so much more!

So hot the last few days so we stopped by Midam Cafe again.  It's a Korean dessert place that has traditional desserts and drinks with a focus on rice cakes.  It's located in the plaza across from Hmart in Burnaby.  It's located on the bottom floor hidden inside.  You will walk passed the supermarket and head towards the yoga place near the stairs.
The website: http://www.midam.ca/
Location: Suite 110A-4501 North Rd  Burnaby, BC V3N 4R7
(604) 568-5357

lol..engrish!
The bf and I found this place last month looking for dessert places on urbanspoon.  They have patbingsu (팥빙수) here!  Oooo Aaaaa.  The first visit we ordered a strawberry 팥빙수 but they didn't have it so we ordered a red bean green tea 팥빙수.  We also ordered a green tea rice cake with red bean...lol It was crunchy, chewy, warm and delicious!  It was repetitive...lol don't know why we ordered red bean green tea twice.  We also ordered a cheesy deobukki 떡볶이with chicken.  It was so yummy but oh so spicy!  We will order it again but ask for it to be less spicy.  :)

We ordered a fresh fruit 팥빙수 and a 치즈 계란말이.   I initially wanted to order fried mozzarella cheese sticks but they were out.  :(  I don't think I will order the egg again..lol

Candyland- Chips, candy and mints~

Went to Candyland to stock up on my mints and chips.  I really like the Hong Kong Calbee chips, especially in BBQ flavour.  I was also looking for my baby packs of instant noodle snack but they didnt have any so I bought an alternative(the pink bag of noodle with that little Asian girl on it).  I saw the Popin Cookin Candy in the sushi edition and I finally ended up buying it.  I will take photos of the process after I open it.  :D  Candyland also carries the donut version, the bento box version, the instant noodle/gyoza version and the ice cream version.  I bought the sushi version because I thought this one would be the most fun.  I did want to try the instant noodle/gyoza version but the liquid in the noodle seemed weird...lol
There are 2 locations of Candyland here, one in Burnaby and one in Richmond.  The one in Burnaby is located in Crystal Mall and the one in Richmond is located in Aberdeen Centre.

Lunch on Feb 11, 2012- WonJo BBQ Noodle Restaurant

Had lunch at WonJo BBQ Noddle Restaurant because someone had recommended it.

It was okay!  I like the fact that it felt very home made and that the noodles were hot and steamy! I will be going back to try their bbq next time.

They have a small menu which means they do what they do very well.  :)
