Betty’s 5-star review: - Classic hot chocolate: RICH and pure. not very sweet. I recommend sharing because, well like i said, it is very rich (in the good way) - Almond croissant: SO GOOD WHEN IT IS FRESH OUT THE OVEN. But I had to literally fight for one croissant because some people would just buy 10 at a time.... - Macarons: Perfect as gifts. Their current Xmas flavor is Eggnog. GOOD GOOD AND GOOOOOOOD!!!! Chewy and not too sweet. - Chocolate almond: I bought some Christmas edition ones... planning on giving them away as small gifts! LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!! A little pricey... but who cares? -
Betty’s 5-star review: This is by far my favorite gelato place on earth. Been coming here ever since I was small.... It closes for the winter and doesnt operate until February-ish... but what can I say? This rarity is what makes Dolce Gelato a luxury in my mind. This place has the smoothest, most flavorful real italian gelato in the world, freshly made everyday. My favorite is the tiramisu...and I recommend that. Be aware that you will never be able to accept tiramisu anywhere else after landing your tastebuds on Dolce Gelato's delicacy. After getting some gelato (cash only by the way.... they also accept USD since it is right by the Canada-US border), I love walking on the White Rock beach or down the pier. Excellent place to have desserts after lunch on the beach! Definitely visit this place! No disappointments, I promise! :) -
Betty’s 4-star review: This restaurant is a great place for lunch because it has all kinds of shanghainese dumplings. The xiao long bao are very delicate... thin skin that doesn't break apart so the juice stays inside! I love the crab roe XLB... very generous with the crab.. unlike many other Shanghai restaurants. As for other non-dumpling dishes, they were mediocre. Nothing gross, but nothing spectacular either. Reasonably priced. Around $70 for 4 people...! Satisfying! -
Betty’s 5-star review: I have no idea why this restaurant's name has the word "Szechuan" in it... Because it is 100% Taiwanese. And damn legit Taiwanese food, too!!! First of all, the owner is super nice. Reminds me of the genuineness of restaurant owners in Taiwan. She's also the owner of Cabin 5555 apparently. The food is really authentic, reasonably priced, and in large portions. I ordered minced pork rice (), spicy intestine stew (), scallion cake wrapped beef (), chives dumpling (), spicy pork ears (), Taiwanese rice noodles (), and clams! And guava juice. Let's just say... This could easily feed a family of 5. We ordered this amongst 2 people. The bill came out to be only $50. I must say, I have absolutely no complaints about this restaurant (I'm pretty picky)... I would recommend making reservations because it's going to be full for sure. -
Betty’s 5-star review: Best high-tea place in North America. In terms of ambiance and presentation, this high tea place is in a contemporary French style... So there's none of that stuffy grandma style old English feeling. Or a bunch scones and muffins. There are macarons and a huge variety of small bite sized French pastry. And the savory foods are good too!! Not too filling. The walnut blue cheese served on a baby lettuce is yummy!!! Who knew these flavors would complement each other so perfectly?! Oh, did I mention that you start off your meal with fresh sorbet?! Yum yum :) By the way, you can ask for specific pastries instead of a random assortment. I always substitute the bonbons for extra macarons! -

Betty’s 3-star review: Hit or miss. Some drinks (such as the pudding milk tea with half sugar) are DELICIOUS. while others are WAYYY too sweet.... For example... the pudding milk slush made me sugar-high for hours. And what angered me is when i asked the waitress, "are there pudding bits in the slush?"... and she said "YES OF COURSE"... and then there indeed is pudding in the slush... BUT THEY WERE BLENDED IN THE SLUSH!!!
