Cafe D'Lite closing in Aberdeen. John 3:16 to take its place.

All these years, I didn't know Cafe D'Lite was owned by Mamalee, lol.

Was at Kent's Kitchen on Saturday. Place was pretty busy. Busier than I've seen it for a long time. Long lineup.

People coming out to support the business, or maybe to get their last meal there. in any case, probably too little too late.

Is Kam Do still around in Richmond? They had the best baked pork chops and lo por bang. Not many places here use a cutlet anymore, so they can never be as good. Some REALLY old places do, but they are disappearing every year.

Golden Award too, with free drink refills. But I know they changed to Silver Tower before I moved

The restaurant on Alexandra Road closed down, but they still have a bakery now next to Richmond Center.

Ah so they still make lo por bang I assume! nice

Kam Do has a second location (their flagship store, I believe) not far away, also on No. 3 Rd in Richmond.

edit: wrong thread

I would be so happy with all the free food, then again I'm probably the only person here who lives outside of any food delivery location. Fricken sucks you always have to plan ahead lol

Just got back from Japan/Korea and it was amazing to see how much high quality and tasty foods you can buy for $10-20/day. Cousin said prices today have increased by close to 40% across the board for all the food and restaurants.

Curious what people eat in Canada for like $10 - 30/day = $3.6 to $11k/year

If you read the article more in depth, the deliveries show up with random names on them so you wouldn't know it's just free for the taking.

If you want to eat healthy and not just Kraft Dinner it's impossible to eat in Canada for $10 a day. Inflation at the grocery store is incredible right now.

Even at $20 - 30/day, I'm kinda baffled how little I get when I wanna eat 3x a day with Meat, Veggie, rice. Been eating a lot of tofu curry atm to save money.

I try to limit my food budget to $25-30 a day.

It's definitely doable, but way harder to go below that threshold (sub $20).

25-30 a day? so for just you alone you spend $750-900 a month on food? That seems really high... two of us spend less than that easily. Last two months we've been spending $500/mo on groceries and $200/mo on eating out. Our budget was $800 on groceries but we never hit that.

that's an insane take, two of us spend $500 or so on groceries every month... we don't eat any processed foods or very little, maybe a little bit of snacks and that's it. we make meals that cost like $20 and get 6+ portions out of those meals for lunch and dinners.

It depends on needs vs wants... I mean mikemhg is an outlier, he probably eats a shit-tonne cuz he's a gym rat... my gf's food costs a fortune because it's all specialized gluten free and she has to have a balance of everything all the time or she's unhappy.

I can live on almost nothing cost wise, I calculated my own food costs and I could probably get by on $200 a month if I didn't buy a bunch of extras or eat anything at a take out place.

no doubt! that's what i figured for mike, and i think murd0c is a gym guy too so maybe its just buying tons of protein. i just take issue with saying it's impossible to eat healthy for $10 a day in canada... maybe for him, but it's very easy to do for others and without making sacrifices on the quality of food either.

some of our staples are like asian stir fries with rice/noodles, thai/japanese/indian curries, pastas, korean dishes like bibimbap, soondoobu, japchae... i don't think any of these are unhealthy, and they're pretty much all easily scalable.

Yah I would be happy just buying $14 packs of chicken filets from Superstore... that's a solid 4-5 lunches right there.

Some sauce and rice and 1 veggie... good to go!

I know someone that eats two Costco chickens a week as his main protein, lol.

Damn, especially since you're a bigger dood, if you don't eat enough you'll quickly shrink. I realized with the recent food inflation having a decent physique and getting enough protein from food is a privilege now, even a minor financial flex.

All the tasty cheaper foods are high in carbs/fat and aren't good for the gym bros. I can probably live easily on $10 - 20 a day but I'd be eating too little protein.

I eat 2 a week, sometimes 1 chicken + 1 trout, or 4 - 5 ground bison packs lol. But recently went towards the poor man rotisserie route.

I’m no gym rat but I need protein

For $500 a month between two people I 100% would not be getting enough protein.

Damn you guys made me feel bad now, I thought I was being pretty good on costs :lol

I actually don't eat as much as you'd think, not sure how I can maintain my size, makes some of my other gym buddies the trainers mystified.

I fast a lot, so I only eat maybe twice a day. Oatmeal and fruit for breakfast (if I even eat breakfast), and maybe dinner only, or a lunch in between.

I usually buy my lunch, a stir fry or maybe donair plate $12-15. Cooking dinner, always with meat usually comes out to at least $10 with veggies. I usually order Freshprep a few times a month as well, so that comes out to about $12.5 a meal.

I'm sure one can go below that making lentils, chilis, and meal prepping a bunch, I simply don't have the patience to do all that.

Sorry but this made me laugh. I'm not a gym guy what so ever, I'm surpried I even know how to spell gym.. I'm just a fat guy who loves carbs and food in general.

You trying to tell us that your previous display pic with the orange top is NOT you? And your current display pic isn't the same person with a mask on?
