Celebrate Vaisakhi!

spacer

Get ready to celebrate the beginning of a new year in the Sikh calendar! Last year at the Vaisakhi Festival, the streets of Surrey were filled with people. Starting at 128 Street and 85 Avenue again this year, you get to watch the parade while getting a taste of all kinds of free food, great music and Bhangra dancing. I know I’ll be there with a few friends. It’s definitely one of the most exciting events happening around town. Cross your fingers for a sunny day! The event is taking place on Saturday, April 7. Call the Festival Hotline if you want more information, 604-833-4550.

Unique dining experience

spacer

There is not much anyone can do when the weather isn’t ideal outside. Last Saturday, I decided to venture out and try something new. My boyfriend and I love dining out and trying new cuisines. Since it was pouring outside, we decided to go for something spicy that will warm us up: Indian food. We went to “Taste of Punjab” in Whalley, since it came recommended by an East Indian co-worker for its authentic flavours. I order a butter chicken dish with rice while my boyfriend decided to try one of the chef’s recommendations, an assortment of different Indian dishes that include chicken, lamb, and beef. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were more than enough. The atmosphere of the restaurant was excellent and I would definitely go back again. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys lots of flavour and spice in their food and is interested in trying something ethnic.

Dining tip: Stop by the Surrey Visitor Centre diagonally across the street and pick up 10% coupons for the restaurant.
