On September 26, the justalilhype! Crew dropped by the Richmond Night Market to enjoy its large selection of Asian edible goodies. We got the chance to try out the Sumo Bites, cooked and prepared by one of our past featured artists, Sam Laufer. Our crew member Amie, recommended us to try the spicy curry fish balls. It wasn’t spicy enough so she had to add more hot sauce. Kevin got the chance to enjoy learning about the culture of Asian-bargaining with the vendors. Jennifer got to eat her favorite snack, Chinese style duck wrap for the very last time in Vancouver this year. At the very end, Jenkin and Alan got to play the fish net game for free and they caught a ton. It was the finale of the annual event and we are definitely looking forward for more good snacks and drinks for next year.

The justalilhype! Crew visited Terracotta Modern Chinese Restaurant for our after-summer reunion. We had a chance to catch up on our summer vacation and talked about up and coming projects for justalilhype! Terracotta’s hosts were wonderful and honoured us with the exclusive lounge area, The Emperor’s Room was for us to relax, chill and have an overall good time. The aesthetics of the interior design of the restaurant is inspired by ancient Terracotta Warriors of China’s Qin Dynasty. The atmosphere was laid back and comfortable yet at the same time refreshingly modern. Our eats of Chinese tapas were more than satisifying and we were treated with their signature drink, Chivas & Green Tea. If you get a chance to swing by, make sure you try to the Aloe Vodka! Terracotta is located at the heart of Gastown, 52 Alexander Street.

Our Webmaster, Frankie, just came back from a long four months in the boonies of Waterloo. There, he served his co-op term at Research in Motion and learned a lot of new things. Much needed, we took Frankie out to probably one of the best places to get ramen and had a good chat about things to come for justalilhype!. Needless to say, you should be HYPED up for what’s to come. Frankie finally got his first button and will be reppin it when he hits up Japan in a couple days! After that, he’ll be reppin it in Seattle where he’ll be working for Microsoft for four months.

It was produced by “The Underclassmen” and it features a lot of old school sounds. Listen to a sample of it and hit the download link to grab a free copy of it.

justalilhype! Crew checked out the Olympic Flame. The journey to see the torch was a hassle as there were lots of tourists around to see this attraction before the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. We dashed through the crowds as always and got a good photo with the Flame. There’s really nothing much to say about it. Other than the awkward moment that Alan and Jenkin had upon asking a random DSLR qualified tourist to help us take a photo, when we could not find the camera which Christine was holding, and people randomly singing our national anthem. Nevertheless, in the end of the day justalilhype! is proud to be representing Vancouver and Canada from all aspects, just don’t let us down tomorrow Men’s Canada Hockey Team! GO GOLD!

justalilhype! walked from Gas Town all the way to Burrard to find food around $5 dollars. We had an idea to order 3 rices along with one of our favourite Korean dishes, BiBamBap, but the Korean restaurant that we found was packed. We then diverged our original plan into going to one of our favourite Ramen place, Benkei. We met one of the workers there called Kevin whom hooked Alan up with double extra noodles. He had a conversation about how it was confusing because with the student ID you get extra noodles for 50% off, from $1.00 to $.50 but if you did double extra noodles, the discount doesn’t stack and it costs $1.50. Anyhow, the meal was satisfying but we still love the one on Robson more! Thanks Kevin, looking forward to see the new Benkei website that you are developing.

The justalilhype! Crew met up with the lululemon athletica girls again, this time at YYoga Flow in Downtown. We did hot yoga and we sweat a lot as always. After our session, the justalilhype! Crew did an exclusive behind the scenes shoot with the lululemon girls inside a private yoga room. The girls showed their skills to us and proved that employees from lululemon do have a passion and love for yoga. After the fun at YYoga Flow, we were starving and headed to Stepho’s Greek restaurant, but it was packed so we headed to Junction Pub for a quick snack. It was good to be able to see the Olympics broadcasted live but the food took forever. Upon discussing about the medal count and the importance of tomorrow’s game, the food finally arrived and we munched down. Here are the photos with the girls Whitney Benjamin, Liz Johnson, Jenna Kuerschner, and Tiffany Assman. We will keep in touch with you and wish you a safe flight back to your respective homes, after a fun filled two weeks at Vancouver tweeting and blogging about the Olympics.

Produced by veterans DJ Kutcorners and DJ Seko, this mixtape features a lot of, well, vintage sounds and he samples one of my fave lines from Biggie. JayKin has asked us to share this mixtape with our readers!

The justalilhype! Crew visited Le Petit Saigon for Phở Noodles, one of our favorite snacks. Upon arrival we were blocked off for about 5 minutes, watching two ladies desperately backing out to get their car out of the parking lot. We were patient but once we drove closer to the restaurant, we already felt a sense of goodness of the Phở house and were very hungry. The restaurant looks old and is on east hastings right before P.N.E. so for it to stay in business for so long, it must have held a set of high standards. While walking from the parking lot to the restaurant, we could already smell the soup! We both got Phở noodles and a side dish of spring rolls. (Only $1.75!) We enjoyed the soup base a lot but thought the meat could be better. Anyways, this place is qualified by us as a good place for a quick snack!
