West Coast Christmas

Arrived back in Vancouver today for the holidays. Stepped off the plane and realized the weather in Ottawa is exactly the same as the weather here. Feels a bit nutty to have no snow at Christmas. Anyway, I packed for this trip a list of restaurants I would like to try with my parents. The difficulty is my father has only four places he's willing to go:
1/Tim Hortons
2/White Spot
3/Swiss Chalet
4/Something Chinese (and it has to be Cantonese... none of that Sichuan or Shanghai nonsense).
Am determined to get him into a Korean restaurant or a Japanese tapas joint this trip. Still sticking to Asian food -- nothing wacky like Indian or Lebanese -- but it won't be the same won ton shop we always go to. Fingers crossed that this will work.
