8 Juice in Aberdeen (Richmond)
Ahh Aberdeen, my favourite food court in Vancouver. If you can look past the horrific parking, Aberdeen has a great food court with a unique layout. There are a reasonable amount of (asian) choices, including awesome Deep Fried Chicken Wings and a great Japanese place with a huge variety (no sushi). There’s also a White Spot in case you’re craving a burger.
As you come up the escalator towards the food court, if you’re able to look past the incredibly tempting Beard Papa’s, you’ll see a small drink stand called ‘8 Juice’. They are pretty much your run of the mill fresh juice stand, much like Jugo Juice, except without the disgusting ‘Wheat Germ’ flavour. Almost all of their drinks are made entirely from fresh fruit and water or ice. They have a wide variety, as well as reasonable prices, considering it’s just fruit and water.
However, in addition to the basic fresh fruit drinks, they also have their 8 Juice House Special. It’s a mango fresh fruit drink with a few additions including mini tapioca balls and it’s awesome! The tapioca balls are sort of like what you would find in bubble tea, but are about 1/8th the size. Ever since I tried the 8 Juice House Special, I usually get one along with whatever meal I get whenever I visit; you should definitely give it a try!
Five Loaves Rating:
Value: 8/10
Quality: 8/10
Overall: 8/10
Verdict: If you enjoy fresh fruit drinks, give the 8 Juice House Special a try next time you’re in Aberdeen!

Lung Kee at Aberdeen in Richmond
Another Aberdeen post! Soon we’ll have covered every restaurant in that place!
For lunch one day, we decided to make our way back to the Aberdeen Food Court. After getting some Deep Fried Chicken Wings at Wo Fung, I decided to grab my real meal from Lung Kee. ‘Lung Kee’ is not to be confused with the similarly named ‘Leung Kee’. Despite having similar names, they serve different types of dishes. Leung Kee specializes in more ‘classic’ Cantonese style dishes, for example, Beef and Egg swirl on rice, or Beef Stir fry with flat rice noodles. Lung Kee on the other hand has a much less diverse menu consisting mostly of congee, noodles and soup noodles.

After my last visit to Aberdeen, Kim gently reminded me how silly it was to go there and not get an order of Deep Fried Chicken Wings from Wo Fung!
Danny and I decided to go back to Aberdeen for lunch, and this time, I wouldn’t make the same mistake. I headed straight to Wo Fung Dessert to grab their (in)famous Deep Fried Chicken Wings. There are a few things that confuse me about Wo Fung. First of all, they’re called ‘Wo Fung Dessert’, but they really sell dessert, and they’re really known for fried chicken. Secondly, I’m not sure what it is about their chicken wings that make them taste so darn good; all I know is that when you’re craving a snack at Aberdeen, Wo Fung always hits the spot.

After a morning at the Richmond Go Kart Tracks, a big group of us decided to have lunch at Aberdeen food court. This was my second trip to this food court. Some of my friends decided to order at Mambo Cafe because they eaten there before and said it was good, so I followed their recommendation. Mambo was like a Hong Kong cafe in a food court. There was a decent sized line up ordering food, and they’re located right next to the popular Leung Kee.

This was my first time eating at the Aberdeen food court. What made this food court unique was layout; you see the food stalls before the seating area. The seating area was very pleasant. They took advantage of the natural lighting with the ceiling to floor giant windows.
I walked around the food area looking for a restaurant. I wouldn’t help noticing that there was a line up at Leung Kee. Most stalls had one or two customers, but Leung Kee had eight or more. By far, Leung Kee was the busiest. I lined up at Leung Kee checking out their menu. They even had a LCD TV displaying orders ready for pick up.
