Barefoot Contessa of Vancouver

By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

Meet the Barefoot Contessa of Vancouver, Tita Regina! 🙂 We were very happy to be invited to the home of Tito Rick and Tita Regina and we had a wonderful dinner!! Thank you very very much!

We saw Tita Regina cook and prepare the dinner and we enjoy her so much because she has so many stories and she really entertains us.  She told us that she idolizes the Barefoot Contessa! Which explains my title for her 🙂

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We asked Tita Regina what was there to do in Vancouver and she said ” EAT!”  We were so happy to hear that!  🙂  And that was what we really did!  Even if the weather was not too good for sightseeing, we did have nice meals and were able to relax 

A restaurant recommended by many Pinoys 🙂  We will go anywhere to have good fresh crab!
