Second, it’s been very heartening to see how many \n

Vancouver<\/p>\n<\/place><\/city> restaurants have been stepping up to the plate (pardon the pun) to help raise funds for Tsunami Relief.  Thanks to all of you who dined out on Thursday.  The good news is that you have more chances to help out while you dine next week.  I’m pasting all the press releases I’ve received about restaurants making donations the week of Jan. 10-14.  Please read through them for all the details and dine out for Tsunami Relief!<\/p>\n

The Thai House Restaurant Group as well as other restaurants in its
group, Urban Thai Bistro, Chili House Thai Bistro and Samba Brazilian
Steakhouse announced today that 60% of all food revenues earned by its
restaurants in the evenings of January 10 and 11, 2005 will go to
charities that are assisting in relief efforts in parts of South East
Asia affected by the Tsunamis and Earthquake.<\/p>\n

While we are miles away from the devastation, we are nevertheless
impacted by the human costs of the disaster. This is our small way of
helping the people of \n

Thailand<\/p>\n<\/place><\/country-region> and other countries that have suffered
tremendous losses due to this tragedy.<\/p>\n

Thank you,  <\/span>Thai House Restauarant Group<\/p>\n

Being able to eat a hot meal and sleep in a warm bed never seemed so much of a blessing to Vancouverites as it does these days. Those in the restaurant business work hard, yet are rewarded on a daily basis and of course never go hungry. A blessing we sometimes take for granted…<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Joining in the efforts to raise money for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami victims in \n

Asia<\/p>\n<\/place>, the following ten restaurants businesses are raising funds in various ways in the upcoming weeks.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Brix Restaurant and Wine Bar, Gyu Japanese Teppanyaki, i-cafe, MIX The Bakery, Northern Delicacy, Northern Dynasty and Tropika Malaysian & Indonesian Restaurants<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Tropika Canada Group <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tropika Canada Group of restaurants, which includes four Tropika restaurants specializing in Malaysian & Indonesian cuisine as well as Gyu Japanese Teppanyaki, i-cafe, Northern Delicacy and Northern Dynasty will be donating all profits and partial sales from their eight restaurants on Wednesday, January 12th to World Vision in support of the victims of the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Asia. Tropika-Canada Group Managing Partner Louis Kong says they feel particularly blessed that with the many Malay and Indonesian staff at Tropika Restaurants, particularly in their kitchens, they have had no direct losses. But many staff are still awaiting news of family members and Louis and his family are very saddened for the nation of people they work so closely with. They, along with Gyu Teppanyaki, Northern Delicacy, Northern Dynasty and i-cafe will be holding a joint-fundraiser at all locations at both lunch and dinner on January 12th. Staff are expected to donate most of their tips as well that night. <\/p>\n

MIX The Bakery<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Owned by newcomer to the city, Rose Conception, Mix is a small bakery on West 10th.

Come by and purchase a raffle ticket between now (January 6th) and January 17th and you could win complimentary (free!) homemade bread every week for a year or the dessert of the month every month for year! Every week, from <\/p>\n

January 24th 2005<\/p>\n

<\/date> to <\/p>\n

January 24th 2006<\/p>\n

<\/date> you could be dropping in to choose a fresh made loaf of your choice or each month a delectable dessert.  Raffle tickets $5.00, available at MIX The Bakery 100% of proceeds from the raffle draw will go to The Canadian Red Cross.    <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And sweeter still….<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Brix Restaurant and Wine Bar<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n
