I've been searching for a good Hainan chicken and rice place whenever I travel and I think I found…read moreone of my favorites at Mamalee. The chicken is so tender and juicy with good flavor and even better if you like to dip it in their home made lightly spicy or ginger sauce. It is fully deboned too. This is the star of the show and a must try if you want to know what Hainan chicken should taste like. I was just at Portland and ate at Nong's Khao Man Gai which is a Thai version of Hainan chicken and Mamalee just blows it away. I will definitely be back to support this small business whenever and as often as I can. Wish they open a location in California or Las Vegas but this gives me a reason to visit Vancouver more often. PS: Free 2 hour parking at International Village Mall.

After attending a Yelp Event nearby, we went here for dinner. I've seen the Broadway MamaLee…read morelocation before, but never tried either location until now. We were quickly seated and given our menus. The place looks unremarkable, but it was clean and well kept. We ended up trying two things: - Roti Canai: Good. It was flakier and less oily than most. I like mine to have a bit of a chew, but still enjoyable. Curry sauce had a slight kick to it. - Hainanese Chicken Rice: Good. Exactly what one would expect. Tender, boneless chicken was straightforward and delicious. Reasonable portion size. Service was nice and a little more friendly and attentive than I had expected. Overall, a pleasant meal. Easy, no frills dining that wasn't overly expensive. I'd return for the Hainanese chicken. Note: they charge 2% to use a credit card.

I've finally tried the butter chicken and there's a lot of meat. An excellent value and it's so…read morerich and delicious! I ate this with homemade rice. I thaw these in a disposable foil pan in the fridge for convenience. Then I cut along the top, fold the package in half and squeeze the content out into a pot. Then I use a plastic food scraper to get the rest out. The chicken pie was also very good and packed with a lot of ingredients. It is rich as well and very filling. On hot days I use an element or toaster oven outside to cook these. I plan to be a repeat customer as everything I've had was exceptionally delicious. And I repeat, the value is outstanding for this kind of quality food. Order ahead online and pick up at their window to make sure they have what you want. Or go by their window to order. Great as gifts too! They have soft serve ice cream as well. Check online to see how delicious it looks. Highly recommend.

Meat & Bread, oh wow was it quite literal…read more My friend and I were greeted by hearty welcomes and the sound of knife slicing pork. We ordered their Porchetta and Meatball sandwiches and were impressed with their speed - out within three minutes! We were crunched on time, so we did a takeaway, but we actually had time to sit and enjoy the restaurant. My favorite part was feeling that we were in a log cabin, transported almost 200 years before present day to the Midwest. Most impressive was how good each tasted. For starters, I have a huge dislike for pork, yet I really enjoyed their Porchetta with crackling, crispy pork skin (?). Their meatballs had a consistent texture, appropriately crumbly - and the flavors all worked well together. Not too salty, not too sweet - everything balanced. It's rare to find a spot like this, and I can't wait to return!

I never knew this place was called HBC Gourmet Market, but I finally remembered to take note of it…read morethe next time I visited. It's a bakery and deli. This is the place where I usually buy cakes for the office. Their cakes are pre-made and placed in the displays for you to choose from. They make cakes throughout the day, but if you're unlucky they could be low on choices if you're there at the wrong time. If you have time, order ahead, but I don't usually have any problems with walk ins. The most recent cakes that I purchased were the Lemon Meringue and the Chocolate. Both cakes were sweet, light and fluffy. They were a hit in the office.

This is just a quick review which I promise to update soon (I am at work now and they don't pay me…read moreto review restaurants). The HBC Gourmet Market is a little known great eatery in downtown Vancouver. It is located on the bottom floor of the Hudson's Bay Company (next to the Pacific Centre food court). It appears to be relatively unknown because Yelp doesn't know about it and so many people are always asking where I buy my lunch! Here you will find a very tasty selection of typical deli fare... The soups, salads, and sandwiches are their main selects but there is a whole lot more! My favourites are the Thai Chicken soup and the Chipotle Chicken Soup... usually ordered with a Greek salad. I am always so pleased with my lunch that I made this my very first review on Yelp!

They're all not overly sweet, which is perfect! I love their signature Pomelo & Mango with Sago Drink, & always get this when I'm here. Of the other desserts, the Bo Bo Bowl was my fave this time, along with the Purple Potato & Taro Milk -- both boasting a robust yet refined taro flavour. I also enjoyed the Mixed Matcha Panna Cotta, a dessert that's great for matcha lovers! You order at the kiosk or online, & they bring out your order pretty quickly. There are some tables available for seating.

Salmon Chowder was good (small $6.50). For a quick meal, you can't go wrong with salmon chowder. Light,simple soup on a cold or rainy day. It tasted good with Focaccia bread. I wish the soup was bit creamier it was rather watery. You can buy yourself some Truffle Butter, some packaged soup or even salad dressing as well. Not a good place to buy or exchange stocks (just keeding) LOL. They also have a vegetarian soup as well.

We have not been able to find a comparable porchetta anywhere else. They have loyal customers for life. We got the tomato fennel soup and it was so creamy and warmed up belly and breath in this cold weather.
