Food Scene
Pizza recommended for take out. Perfect for a quick lunch/dinner because they sell individual slices. Unique selection of flavours (I recommend the BBQ chicken).

A little pricey for a Hong Kong-style cafe but the portions are quite large. I can order a mini-size meal (special during certain times) and only finish 3/4 of it. They also serve bubbletea (bobatea).

The pick-and-choose menu is worth the price! I don't recommend the inari roll or udon but the rest are yummy and even though it says the donburi are mini size, it is actually quite large.

My favourite restaurant on this street. They serve both western (think Denny's) and eastern food. I enjoy their cheap sushi lunch combo and their beef teriyaki don. The servings are huge.

An alternative coffee shop to Starbucks. I've never personally tried it but my daddy seems to love it.

I tried this fish and chips restaurant once. It was delicious (my first time eating fish and chips as a Canadian), but it was average-priced to me even after using a promotional coupon.

If you want cheap and large sushi rolls, this is a good small family business to check out. Definitely not top quality but it's very good for its price.

One of two Starbucks. The second one is inside Safeway on 70th/71st Avenue. The employees are so friendly! One of them treated me to an iced coffee before.

My favourite Taiwanese noodle house. I love thick noodles with hot & sour soup (without greens). The traditional beef brisket noodles is good too. Their milk tea served in a tall glass is the best!

Essentials
Brand new grocer with huge selection! This is one of the biggest Safeways in Canada. They've started serving hot foods like Chinese and Japanese cuisine in their deli.

Shopping
An up-and-rising phone service carrier new to Canada; especially good for temporary phones or roaming because their plans are cheap and reception is just average. Other carriers are really expensive.

If you want to borrow books or use the computer, you'll need to sign up for a free library card. I'm not sure about the process - please let me know if you run into any issues (eg. residents only).
