Welcome to Flavour of the WeekMay 5 - Hop to It on Kingsway
May is Asian Heritage Month, so I've decided to devote the entire month to Asian cuisine. And mighty Kingway is dotted with hundreds of restaurants from all over Asia. We'll head up Kingsway this month and stop in at a different place each week in "From Kerala to Cambodia: Cooking on Kingsway."
We started off at one of my favourite spots--House of Dosas at Knight and Kingway. They're famous for their dosas (giant crepes filled with curries), but on Wednesday nights only, they serve hoppers. Hoppers are bowl shaped coconut and rice flour crepe that are popular in owner Raj's home state of Kerala.
Raj cooked up some especially for us this morning, with a cricket match going on in the background on his special satellite feed. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, you can often find Raj and other cricket fans hanging out at all hours of the day if there's a big cricket match on (especially for his hometown team, the Chennai Superkings). earlyed@vancouver.bc.ca.http://www.cbc.ca/earlyedition/food.html
