another thing about restaurants here is the standard varies day to day, one day is quite good, the next day could be quite different that you feel you were in new restaurant ! that's why i stop recommending restaurants to friends. even kirin are indifference which is not acceptable as i  feel that they're one of the better ones here, and you cannot pick one here against one in hk.

家陣有得食就好食多D，仲咁多要求做乜！第時冇得食就知而家食到嘅其实已經好矜貴！

I do not worry too much, as long as there are supplies of dry staples and clean water,
I will not starve.

i think we need to compare apple to apple.  compare the price as well.  even kirin cost $30-40/person for dim sum, which is way cheaper than 2nd or 3rd grade dim sum place in hk.  years ago, i was in a 3rd or 4th grade restaurant in hk(no view) and we paid ~$80cad/person, just dim sum.  the food is good, but not excellent.  but the price is scary.  so i won't complain our food here.

That is what I said, the Chinese food in Vancouver are acceptable and affordable,
and I seldom complain.

no way you paid 80can/person in a 2nd grade restaurant in hk. that's more than hk 500/person!!!
i just read an article from a retired government officer who's doing a series of food articles in the paper, he paid hk1,100 for 5 people for dim sum lunch, that's can30/person, and it's a top class restaurant although with no view.
average cost of a dim sum plate at fook lam mom is around can6$, hows that compare with here?
