When you’re in the suburbs and craving breakfast, where do you go? In Port Coquitlam you’ll find standard chains like White Spot and De Dutch. But, tucked away in the corner of an outdoor mall, you’ll find a hidden gem pancake restaurant that beats any chain restaurant.

In a neighbourhood filled with Italian, Thai, and Greek food, it’s easy to satisfy cravings in Burnaby Heights. But in a food paradise, how does a restaurant stand out?

But for an authentic Vietnamese meal, you can’t go wrong with the Lemongrass Chicken on Rice.
