richmond is a suburb south of vancouver, and 50% of the population is asian. you can find any asian food here. the best dim sum, sushi, taiwanese dishes, xiao lung bao, and m'sian dishes as well. instead of french, most of the restos list their menus in chinese. store fronts and malls also have chinese characters on their main entrances. asian groceries are everywhere and you can definitely find japanese "cheap" product "daiso" here.
richmond is surrounded by water, and steveston is a v. popular area esp. in the summer. you can buy fresh seafood here, straight from the boats. there are also several cafes and restos that you should check out. we tried blenz, the canadian coffee and i totally love their dark belgian choco cafe mocha ;)
- Pros:good food, short distance btw places to go
- Cons:horrible traffic at times
