Salt Tasting Room
Patty and I had a light lunch yesterday at Salt Tasting Room that was simply delightful. The restaurant is located in a dark alley in Gastown called Blood Alley (please read next paragraph). The restaurant itself is contemporary but unpretentious. The menu is written up on the chalkboard, you get to choose your own cheese, meat, and condiments to go with crusty bread and crackers. We were in a rush and I was hungry, so we ordered sandwiches instead. It’s not inexpensive but I found the quality and service just wonderful. Will probably go back for dinner some time.
This alley and Gaolor’s Mews next to it together is one of my favourite spots in Vancouver. I was told that they used to hold public executions in blood alley square and Gaelor’s Mews was the Location of Vancouver’s first jail. The alley now is lined with garbage bins with some homeless Vancouverites hanging around.
I think I have been spending too much time in cafes. But that’s only because the weather has been so crappy. This is more of a restaurant review post rather than an outfit post, and I apologize for subjecting you to the head shots. The good thing is that according to the weather forecast, I will be seeing the weekend in with the sunshine on my legs in the backyard, followed by a barbecue on the beach and a great concert. So whatever you’re doing this weekend, have a lovely one! dress cute, eat well, and stay up late x

聽起來就覺得好可怕,怎麼會把餐廳開在那裡,也太有趣了吧!

去他們的廁所才可怕呢! 因為要從櫥藏室旁的走廊下去到地下室, 又是一間一間分開的… 讓妳不想到以前這裡是處決人的地方都難 =P
Hi, 美麗女生!
真羨慕妳現在的生活, 是我嚮往的……………

that table is by Brent Comber! actually I think all the tables at Salt Tasting Room are done by them! the tables are built up of small alder branches bunched together =)
here is a link to their site: http://www.brentcomber.com/

真希望有一天我也可以去拜訪這個血腥巷, 監獄總是有很多故事~~

煤氣鎮本身就是一個很有歷史的地方, 加上監獄和處決犯人… 很引人入勝 =P
真是個恐怖的地方,想到就起雞皮疙瘩。這次沒有拍你穿的服飾,有點失望。
