Photowalk: Fort Langley

Fort Langley is one of my favorite places to go; it has fun shops, trendy cafes, huge antique stores, and a beautiful trail. 

Today was an unusually warm (and not rainy!) winter day in Vancouver so Ryan and I decided to go photowalking in Fort Langley. Most of the pictures are taken by Ryan. Hope you enjoy his work!

Langley Foodie: Fat Cow & Oyster Bar

As a newbie to Langley, I still haven't discovered a lot of restaurants that I would like to visit regularly. It's especially hard to find a place to go for when I crave fresh oysters and seafood. Langley has all the franchise restaurants such as Cactus Club, Olive Garden, Moxies, etc but it's difficult to spot a local hot spot and most of the places in Fort Langley closes early:( So when I first found out about The Fat Cow and Oyster Bar, I couldn't wait to try out! 

Their main dishes seem to be seafood related but they also have wide selection if steaks and burgers. They also serve fresh oysters which I love but unfortunately I am not allowed to have them due to pregnancy. Oh well, just another 7 more months to go and I can have as many as I want! 

Sushi Mori - Langley

In downtown or vicinity where there are abundant consumers, it is somewhat manageable for so-so restaurants or other small businesses to survive due to their demand. On the contrary, it probably is somewhat more challenging for other locations of Vancouver including Langley. I have been observing with interest lately and there are too many Japanese Restaurants in this small city on the outskirts of GVA. 

I thought I'd introduce one that has been accepted to my liking: Sushi Mori. 

For the record, I am no individual with impeccable palate or anything in that regard, however I choose my sushi selectively. Sushi Mori's ambiance is quite different to the usual bright fluorescent light, no decorated interior - maybe just a few oriental objects on the wall etc, as you are walking into a hall filled with Sakura (Japanese Cherry Blossom Tree). I do wonder if they dust the artificial trees here and then though.
