Life in the Lower Mainland (BC, Canada)

There are several lemonade stands at the Richmond Night Market  featuring freshly squeezed lemons. Before you buy, try to watch someone else ordering. From one stall I got a $6.25 "jumbo" lemonade with lime flavour, and this is how they made it: JUST ONE LEMON Squirts of green lime flavour About half of the plastic cup was filled with ice It was mostly filled with water Then shaken to mix all the flavours Then topped up with water. You can taste the lemonade, but also that it was a bit too watered down.

At the official Richmond Night Market (near the River Rock Casino, but you can't do park-and-ride from the casino) , stall F92 is More Fusion Wrap . The basic idea is a wrap, but with a thicker shell using what looks like a green onion pancake , though with more fluffiness like roti prata . As a night market stall, they are under pressure to have a fast turnaround time, so the one I got wasn't properly cooked through, with some parts still gummy on the inside -- so you may want to ask them to please cook it carefully.

At the Richmond Night Market (the official one with the cartoony ducks, near the River Rock Casino) ,  Thai One Asian Fusion  is booth F19, calling themselves "Thai High", with a small selection of their menu. Moon Prawn Cake ($6) They use the restaurant picture, which is sort of misleading. The actual size of  the "cake" is about six inches in diameter and maybe a bit more than a quarter inch thick. Very thin pancakes (like business card paper thin) of some sort sandwiches prawns together. You get a lot of prawns. Little bit of filler just to paste the prawns together. No cheating here. Because there's so much prawn, there's a nice sweetness to it that I definitely recommend you not use the sweet sauce that comes with it first. For $6, this is just an appetizer portion. Plain, but tasty. Get this if you really like prawns. Otherwise you might feel "cheated" by its plainness. Crispy Spicy Chicken ($6) When it just comes out hot and...
