On Wednesday January 6, we presented our 3rd tasting tour of noodles held all over the city. The evening event started off at the beautiful Platform 7 Cafe in Kitsilano where guests had a chance to enjoy a coffee beverage made with Stumptown Coffee.
Each of the restaurants participating had served up a couple of different noodle dishes as Tasting Bowls or Plates for guests to enjoy. Guests then had a chance to visit many different types of restaurants throughout the event, meet some new food loving friends, meet the chefs, and learn about each of the participating restaurants.
