Kaya Malay Bistro

One of the reasons I like Vancouver is the diversity of the food. Specifically, Malaysian food. Kaya Malay Bistro does a wonderful take on street style Malaysian food for their lunch menu. Reminds me of Hawker Bar in Toronto.

The daily special drink was a passion fruit soda. Yum!

Hubby had the Kari Lamb. The lamb was succulent and the lively flavors made my taste buds dance.

I had the Satay chicken, gado gado and rice. The chicken had lots of flavor, and I could have eaten the peanut sauce all day long. I love gado gado; a take on an Indonesian cooked vegetable salad. There was also a green salad on the side with a sweet mustard dressing.

Tableau Bar Bistro

We slept in today and went hunting for breakfast. I was looking for something on the healthy side. So we decided to go downstairs to the hotel restaurant, Tableau. We arrived there just before they were about to close the buffet. I had steel cut oats, fruit compote with brown sugar, yogurt, fresh fruit, smoked salmon and a hard boiled egg. They also offered freshly made egg wraps, which resembled a panini. Hubby enjoyed his wrap. I thought $16.95 was reasonable for a breakfast buffet. The quality of the food was good. We won’t have the opportunity this time, but next time will be back for dinner.
