Weekend in Vancouver | DAY 2 - Burnaby Things: Cattle Cafe + Metrotown

6/6/2015

Having discovered Cattle Cafe last summer, I was more than eager to return to the restaurant for lunch the next day. But it wasn't until we called to make a reservation that we discovered that the Richmond location had closed down.
Consequently, we set out for their Burnaby location instead; this actually worked out quite well, as it allowed for a short period of shopping to be done at Metrotown before returning to Richmond to prepare for dinner.

The full album can be found HERE, though the various food items ordered on this visit are not specified. (It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what each member of the party orders, especially when some members are particularly stingy about having photos of their food captured. LIKE I DON'T THINK YOU LOSE ANYTHING FROM IT, BUT ALRIGHT, DO AS YOU WISH. SOMEONE CLEARLY DOESN'T KNOW THE DRILL AROUND HERE.)

We headed over to Metrotown to pick up a few snacks afterward.

 I also attempted a visit at my beloved K-Pop store, KR Multimedia, but, unfortunately, the store was closed for lunch break. After much persuasion, I convinced my parents to hover around the storefront with me for a good twenty minutes; despite the sticky note on the window insisting that they would return after 15 minutes, they never did reveal themselves for the entire period we remained for. I left, empty-handed.

We picked up an overly sugary Peach Black Tea with Coconut Jelly before heading back.
An aspect of Tea Plus, the food court stall from which the above drink was purchased, that I feel necessary to point out is their use of a unique plastic shaker that adheres to a shaking machine. From what I've seen, they don't get too busy, but it's quite interesting that they have such a machine installed as to save physical labour from employees.

Back to Richmond, I finally had the chance to check out Tony Moly, which apparently had opened near Christmas of last year.

The store was immaculate compared to its Pacific Mall counterpart, but partially due to the fact that it hadn't been open as long and wasn't nearly as busy.
The two Korean girls in the store weren't as attentive and eager to assist as the ones back home, though they did prove to be very friendly when I inquired about the B1A4 poster and mask sheet. I was told that neither item was for purchase, though the poster would be free with any store purchase, and the mask sheet was simply given to me upon asking. Talk about the perks of asking!
I acquired their last travel beauty bag too.

I picked up a Cheesecake Stick from Beard Papa's just before leaving, and was able to enjoy a section of a singing competition taking place on the main floor while munching away.
