The problem with Kintaro is -- you gotta find and pay for parking in DT West End.
How da heck do you find parking in DT West End unless you go at some non-conventional hours?
Unfortunately that's the tricky part, having to go there on odd hours.
Getting take out from there is an alternative. A big bonus is if you have coupons from either skip the dishes or Uber eats
EDIT:
Speaking of noodles, even Pho noodles is on rise for prices going up.
There's a restaurant called Pho Kitchen, located in East Van by Renfrew SkyTrain station, every Tuesday after 3:30pm (according to the front door advertising, not website) they have specials on their pho noodles.
The pricing as follows, Small $6.04 Large $7.78 with a purchase of a drink. The cheapest drink would be a can of coca cola, I think it's 2 bucks? Or you can be adventurous and get something alcoholic.
I would rate their Pho to be average, nothing bad about it. Definitely way better than Pho Hoa

Total cost $32.85 before tax and tips, but you also have to factor in parking costs and the time to get to Kintaro Ramen.
Then go to McDonald's for desert.
OT but fuck the new McDonald's ice cream formula. Both the texture and taste has changed and is unacceptable.

If you eat kintaro instead of danbo you only need to repeat that 5000 times to save enough for the down payment on a 1 bedroom condo.
Eat the good ramen.

It may be just me but I never get full eating Ramen. Always end up needing sides and extra noodles (+$$) to feel satisfied. Switch to Pho and you'll get better bang for your buck.

Same. Pho usually has way more protein in it. Most ramen places throw only 2 thin slices of meat in while some pho places seem like they're making a triple hamburger in the broth.
if the soup base is really good i end up drinking the soup and get full
@TypeRNammer yes I noticed this too, you'd see bowls of pho pre-pandemic maybe rise up to $7-10/bowl.
there's the 1 place by kingsway/victoria with the red tarp that used to have 'em at like $12 with a choice of drink, we went there recently and items were like $15 +/- no drink but they're not the only place with these prices.
sorry i'll rather eat a bowl of ramen than pho at that price

Eat the good ramen.
Same with pho. Get a good bowl for $10-11 or a crappy bowl for 7-8? I’d rather not even eat the 7-8 bowl

It suits the thread though. The “you spend too much money on luxury” argument always gets said by people who have been in the housing market for years to those trying to get in. Like if you stop eating out you’ll be able to save 3x your PRETAX income over a few years to get your down payment in order.

All the food talk led me to go get pho for lunch and wife and I managed to bang it out for $37 all-in at Pho Hong on Kingsway. Prices have only crept up slightly for them - it's $14.50 for a large bowl and an extra $2 for a spring roll. Better value than most ramen places.
$1.6m for the space of a townhouse, the layout looks chopped up as hell too
I think that's just bad photography and bad staging as that design of duplex is pretty cookie cutter in Vancouver - it's more or less the same with all duplexes of that size except for the part where they converted the crawl space into a bedroom and probably force grandma to climb into it every night. Hahahahaha.
We're basically in lockstep with the rest of the world. US printed +8.5% year-over-year last week. According to WSJ, "Inflation is now over 5% in 58% of advanced economies and over 7% in 55% of emerging economies. This isn’t all due to energy: inflation excluding energy has also accelerated widely."
Based on the BoC's commentary after the April meeting, markets are fully pricing in a 0.5% hike in June, and a total increase of +2% by year-end. Governor Macklem emphasized the need to normalize policy relatively quickly to keep long-term expectations anchored and BoC has become more concerned about the “increasing risk that expectations of elevated inflation could become entrenched”. Goldman, for example, is forecasting 0.5% hike in June, July, and Sept consecutively. Not going to be a a fun time for variable mortgage holders.
This probably belongs more in the stocks thread but Netflix cratered 35% today wiping out ~50B USD in market value. Why? because for the first time since 2011, they lost paid subscribers overall and the company forecasts to lost another 2m subscribers next quarter. I think this type of cost-trimming is going to become more common as cost of living keeps increasing. Less going out to eat and drink, cutting unnecessary subscription services, less spend on art (concerts, movies etc.), less travelling, etc. None of that will bode well for our economy especially when the service sector makes up 70% of Canada's GDP.
Bottom-line, inflation is rampant worldwide and there is very little that we can do about it locally. BoC also has to react and respect what the markets are pricing. Some folks have the view that somehow BoC will do whatever it takes to save the real estate market because god forbid people lose money in RE. Nope, that is not how central banks operate and even if they tried something like that (i.e. let inflation run rampant by refusing to raise rates), it would be even more catastrophic to our economy long-term.
