See Food, Sea Food
Finished up last night having dessert with Amy’s long-time friend Tram. It was great to meet one of the Amster’s friends.
Today started with Amy’s entire family taking me out to dim sum at Sun Sui Wah. It’s a famous restaurant in Vancouver and rightfully so. So many dishes pased across the table. Corn beef meatballs, calamari, spicy rice paper, barbecue steam rolls, shrimp fried in almonds, shrimp dumplings in bamboo shoots, pork riblets in plumb sauce, sticky rice and chicken steamed in lotus leaves. I ate until I could eat no more.
It was a pleasant honor to share this meal with Amy’s family.
Afterwards, Amy and I invited her younger sister – Jocelyn – to the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park.
Dolphins, beluga whales, otters, and one giant sea lion framed galleries of tropical and north-western sea life.
After that we took a walk along the sea wall to Burrard Inlet. There I got some good pictures of several local statues, but missed the characteristic totem poles that mark the area. I’ll have to go back.
Lastly, I attended the Night Market – a large, outdoor market the carried a variety of products (and found a way to put Hello Kitty on most of them). My favorite touch was the live band that sang in both English, Cantonese, and Chinese.
