Richmond, British Columbia is a foodie heaven! Nestled along the coast of the Fraser River, and part of the Vancouver metro area, Richmond is the fourth largest city in British Columbia. One of the best ways to see Richmond BC is through your tummy! Check out some of my favorite & delicious eats in our short 48 hour stay in Richmond!
Richmond BC has a large population of Chinese residents making the Chinese restaurants and dim sum super abundant. The dim sum was definitely one of the best I’ve ever had, dare I say, even the best in North America!? Fisherman’s Terrace is located inside the largest Chinese mall in North America, Aberdeen Centre, where the dim sum is made fresh to order. It is also one of the few Chinese restaurants that takes reservations! However, don’t expect to be seated on time, but at least you don’t have to wait in the long line with those who didn’t have reservations!
Matcha Ice Cream with Condensed Milk AKA #MATCHATALKINGABAO at Bao Bar Sweets
Raindrop Cake/Water Cake – TOO pretty to eat!
Mango Yummy Ice Cream – everyone gets a bite!
Golden Village is an area of Richmond full of shops and restaurants. There are over 200 restaurants in “Food Street”, which only spans 3 blocks.
Richmond was cooler than expected in June so a hot bowl of ramen was perfect! Get the takoyaki (octopus balls) as an appetizer!
There are so many great places to eat in Richmond, BC. I wish we had more time to explore and eat our hearts out. I would highly recommend a visit if you are looking for a foodie destination! Stay tuned for my guide on what to DO in Richmond BC!

Note to self: don’t read this blog before going to bed. Now I’m starving. I want to hear more about the water cake. I’ve always been curious about them!
July 4, 2017 at 11:36 PMhaha, they actually don’t have much taste itself. There was a peanut topping and sugar syrup that gave it some flavor. Its definitely interesting, but the water cake itself doesn’t have much flavor!
July 5, 2017 at 10:14 PMBubble waffles? WOW – those sound really good. You have me drooling over all your pictures here.
July 5, 2017 at 7:54 AMThank you!! The bubble waffle was super delicious! Definitely a must try!
July 5, 2017 at 10:15 PMWOW! Their foods look like works of art! Seriously too nice to eat! I would love to try all of this! Especially that raindrop cake!

July 5, 2017 at 10:05 AMOh yes, you should definitely if you have a chance. It’s so delicious!!
July 5, 2017 at 10:16 PMOh my lord! Those pictures are mouthwatering..and that matcha ice cream! I want to apply that straight to my face. Also, have to say that raindrop cake is indeed too pretty to eat. Never had a raindrop cake before but seen them so many times. What is the consistency like? Is it like eating jelly?
July 5, 2017 at 10:20 AMYeah its a jelly consistency. Its very interesting. Good to try, but I’m not sure if its really my type of dessert. I would much prefer that matcha ice cream!! š

And it’s awesome you came in time for the night market. I haven’t been in a few years because of how crowded it’s gotten but I might just need to make a trip down there tomorrow. Glad to see you had an awesome time in Vancouver/Richmond! <3
