Foodie Friday: Strike

Happy Friday Loves! Today's Foodie Friday is on a restaurant called Strike in Richmond BC. The reason why I wanted to visit this place was because 1, I LOVE GREEN TEA/MATCHA anything as you all know & 2, I've seen so many people instagram pics of these unique plant-like desserts that I made it a priority to check this place out!

The decor was quite simple inside, nothing too extravagant. On the walls were pictures of street food, chefs, etc. was quite eye catching once your eyes landed on it!

How CUTE are these?? So first off let me warn you guys! These desserts are no where to be found on their menu, you just ask for "plant pudding" & it only comes in 2 flavors- matcha ($4.25) & original ($3.95).

It really does look like a plant hehe.

The original pudding was garnished with mint & strawberries and had a topping of crushed up cheerios that tasted like chocolate w/ a slight coffee scent.

Matcha pudding was garnished with mint & red bean and had crushed up cheerios (?) that had a light taste so that it would not mask the matcha pudding flavor. Each pudding had a layer of cream under the crumbs & pudding at the very bottom! It wasn't a overly sweet dessert, was just right!!

If you are looking for a fun, different or even a conversation starter then definitely go to Strike & try these super adorable plant pudding desserts. PS: They also serve Taiwanese food as well!!

Thank you so much for reading & wishing you a wonderful weekend full of laughs, fun, relaxation & of course indulgence of desserts!!

Love, Linda

Foodie Friday: Yavis Club Cheesecake

Happy Friday my loves, hope you all had a wonderful week! For today's Foodie Friday adventure, I am taking you to Yavis Club Cheesecake in Richmond BC. 

The decor inside is very minimal & simple. Quite spacious inside so you definitely have privacy while enjoying their cheesecake!

I thought the definition of YAVIS was pretty awesome, don't ya think??

My hubby & I ordered "Rainbow After The Dark" which is a glacier style cheesecake. Glacier style basically means a frozen cheesecake- tastes like hard ice cream! We've never seen a multi-coloured cheesecake before so this was definitely one we had to try. It had all the flavours in one: mango, wild berry, green tea, sesame & original. Super yummy & very unique!

Being the green tea fanatic that I am- of course we had to order the "Matcha Green Tea" New York Style Cheesecake. When I order anything with matcha/green tea in it, I always am very picky with the amount of matcha taste in it. This cheesecake had the perfect amount of green tea taste in it, was very well balanced with all the other ingredients. I love how they put little details in the presentation, isn't it pretty?!

Once the sun went down outside, the owner turned down the lights & lit up all the candles on the table. It made the whole ambiance more romantic & inviting. 

Wishing you a wonderful weekend full of laughs, love, great conversations & hopefully some cheesecake!

Love, Linda
