𝗘𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆➕𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲 👭🏻📍𝗩𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗩𝗘𝗥

A bit of a weird post cause all these places no longer exist 😅 lately been experiencing all kinds of mixed feelings going through all the old photos... and really missing the time when we could still hang out with friends whenever we pleased! I guess my new year resolution would be to post more, share more, and to really capture all the great moments 💛

Our 2020 in a nutshell 👀🥡🍴So a couple months ago, we were approached & invited by @richmondfoodstories to share our own food stories, especially our experiences of how the pandemic has changed the way we dine.⁣ ⁣ A rollercoaster year for sure, 2020 has brought us so many feelings, most of which we still find difficult to discuss. In this rather intimate conversation with Christy and Denise (the artists behind the public art project) which happened on zoom on a weeknight with all of us unapologetically in our loungewear, I got taken over by an impulsion to open up and (over)share almost a lifelong journey of my experience with food — starting all the way back from my teenage years in China. ⁣ ⁣ If you’re starting to feel intrigued - visit the link🔗 in our bio👆🏼to read the full article! ☺️ It’s absolutely a fun read, and thank you @richmondfoodstories again for this wonderful experience 😌🙌🏼⁣ ⁣ @cityofrichmondbc @funrichmond ⁣ #vanfoodiegals #richmondfoodstories #richmondmoments #quarantinecuisine #quarantineeats #quarantinefood #richmondbc #quarantinecooking

𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙒𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 😌💛 These past two years have really given us time and space to reflect on how to take better care of our well-being! 🗣️ On #WorldHealthDay today, we're helping to shine some light on an issue that's still under-discussed — did you know that every year in B.C, roughly 𝟮𝟬𝟬 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 and about 𝟲,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 to the cervix? According to @immunizebc and their newly launched website 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝟏𝟗.𝐜𝐚 — on average, 3️⃣ out of 4️⃣ sexually active people will get 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗛𝗣𝗩 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 at some point in their lives. If you're between the ages of 2️⃣0️⃣ - 2️⃣9️⃣, chances are you fall right into the 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽𝘀 ‼️🤯🤯 Having grown up in Asia, this was not exactly an issue that we could discuss freely (raise your hand if you can relate!! 🙋🏻‍♀️) Back then, the vaccination was not super accessible either. HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections — and there's 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀 of HPV, resulting in the No.3️⃣ 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 in women — isn't that kinda crazy though?? 😳😳 👀 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 @immunizebc 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰: 👉🏼 In Canada in 2012, two-thirds of all HPV associated cancers were diagnosed in women, and one-third in men 💉 The 𝐇𝐏𝐕𝟗 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 in Canada is approved to use in both sexes by @healthycdns, and it's completely 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 #Before19 (and in some cases under 26) in B.C. 👉🏼 When the HPV9 and HPV2 vaccines both protect you against 2 types of HPV that cause about 70% cervical cancer cases ➕ 80% anal cancer cases — the HPV9 vaccine also protects you against 𝟱 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗣𝗩 🔗 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝟏𝟗.𝐜𝐚 and 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐛𝐜.𝐜𝐚/𝐡𝐩𝐯 have a lot more info on the HPV vaccines in B.C. and we highly recommend everyone to go check them out!! 😎💡🙌🏼 More in our stories today 👆🏼 #ad #Before19 #HPVVaxby19 #peerHPV #immunizebc #britishcolumbia

That satisfaction when you discover another great 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭 ☺️💛 On days like this an iced chai latte is much needed! Thanks @chai.ghai for the invite 🫶🏼 Here's what we tried: ▪️Iced Chai Latte ▪️Mummyji’s Masala Chai ▪️Butter Chicken Samosa ▪️Veggie Samosa ▪️Jalebi I love strong-flavoured tea beverages and chai latte has always been a go-to option for me, no matter the season. They have so many chai flavours to choose from! Make sure you check out this spot if you're in the mood for some authentic chai tea, or just in need of a new cafe option downtown! I think you can also just shop their tea selections online - they offer free shipping for orders $50+ which is super convenient as well 🙌🏼 . . . vancouver foodie, vancouver food, vancity eats, vancity food, vancouver blogger, vancouver food spot, yvr eats, vancouver eats, vancouver downtown, vancouver hidden gem, vancouver cafe
