Roundhouse Mountain Market on Whistler mountain for Lunch

Whistler didn’t have much snow in December. As I had a plan on the following weekend, I decided to go skiing one last time before the end of the year. The alpine wasn’t open due to gusting, so I went to Roundhouse to have early lunch.

The lunch menu was available after 11 am at Mountain Market on the second floor in the Roundhouse on Whistler mountain. They serve soup, sandwiches, deli, grilled stuff, noodles, etc. They have vegetarian and gluten free choices, too.

I ordered from the kettle menu.

Irish Potato Soup

This was under vegetarian menu. A small bun came with it.

If you use Whistler Blackcomb App for iPhone, you can check “Tips & Deals” or “Food & Drink” in the app where you can see all vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free menu.

Honey Doughnuts & Goodies in North Vancouver for Snack

In early November, it was a clear autumn day. It seemed cold outside, but there was no reason not to go hiking. I went to Quarry Rock in Deep Cove, because I was ready to leave in the afternoon. Skipping lunch, I had some energy bar at the top of the rock, and when I came down, I was starving.

I quickly ran into Honey Doughnuts & Goodies. It was packed by people, maybe because it was off-season and not many places were open till the late afternoon, and also the temperature dropped dramatically and it was super cold. The famous honey doughnuts were out-of-order, and people were waiting for 15 min or more to have doughnuts ready.

I ordered from the homemade soup.

Soup & Bread
(Beef & Vegetable)

The hot homemade soup made my body warm up, and the bread helped my stomach filling. Besides, the soup was tasty and enough amount as snack.

Harvest Fair at Moon Festival

In the middle of September, when I read a free magazine, I found there was an event called Harvest Fair at Moon Festival at Renfrew area, which had held every year and I didn’t know. For my curiosity, I decided to go there. The website on that day got a server error, and I couldn’t get more detail, so based on the magazine, I went to Slocan Park near 29th Avenue Skytrain station.

When I got there, there wasn’t an obvious reception and no one talked to me, so I just walked and looked around. Then I found a community hut where they served some food. As I wasn’t sure what would be going on, I purchased tickets and had some food as dinner.

BBQ Smokie

Harvest Soup

Nothing special, but it was nice for them to serve food at the event. After I was watching kids playing, I got cold and the soup was helpful.

Eventually, some performances started and I enjoyed the time. In my opinion, Taiko was the best one! At the end (well, I didn’t know it was the last), when a chorus group started singing and walking away from the stage, I followed like everybody else did. It took us as a Lantern Parade towards Renfrew Park. It was supposed to be tea and moon cakes serving there, but I didn’t find any staff to ask where and when, so I left there missing the chance. Actually, as I followed the parade, I didn’t know where I was. I’m glad that I had iPhone running.
