For a change, I enjoyed a meal cooked at home: some baked pork chops on rice, served with steamed peas and zucchini (pictured below). I bought the ingredients from the Superstore at Rupert and Grandview Highway in Vancouver, which I think is one of the most cost-effective places to shop for groceries in Vancouver. For the pork chops, I used the no-name brand pork coating, which is about half as expensive as the name brand Shake and Bake pork coating, but still is quite flavorful. I also added some sweet plum sauce and a bit of soya sauce. Yum!

Tequila Kitchen (web site, 1043 Mainland St. Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-681-2120) is a Mexican restaurant in the upscale Yaletown neighborhood of downtown Vancouver. Pictured below, from their Brunch menu, are the Huevos a la Mexicana: three scrambled eggs with tomato, onion and green chile, served with a quesadilla, beans and guacamole (for around $10). Also pictured below is the freshly made salsa and guacamole, which I must say is excellent. Visit Part 1 for more photos.
