The GOODS from Bambudda

Vancouver, BC | Bambudda bar manager Buck Friend has introduced a series of new cocktails that will help keep you warm and fuzzy for the imminent cold season. The original “Tsui Hang” cocktail – a rye based drink infused with salted plums, goji berries and other goodness served in a cold teapot – is the only carry-over from the opening cocktail list, but don’t worry – the popular “Gwie Lo” and the rest of the originals drinks will still be available by request.

The new cocktails include the “Pre – Opium”, which can be described as “a summer classic with a winter twist”. It’s done with white rum, Malibu and pineapple, and it’s finished with a warm white chocolate foam. It sounds like a pina colada, only it’s better. Another crowd pleaser is the “Shucks”, which sees Cognac, clove-infused Lillet, apricot and applewood chip smoke. Come warm yourself up with one of our tasty new infusions, and learn more about Bambudda after the jump…

About Bambudda

Bambudda has been a dream of mine ever since early adulthood. I grew up in Strathcona in the 70’s (five blocks from Bambudda), and I’m still living in the same neighborhood. Chinatown and Gastown were a big part of my childhood. I still remember $1.49 Tuesdays at Woodward’s, the original Save On Meats, and Golden Harvest Chinese Theatre at Main & Hastings, where my Mom used to take me for movies.

The cuisine at Bambudda combines elements of the food I grew up eating (either Mom’s cooking or restaurants in 1970’s-1980’s Chinatown) with modern French influences and interpretations in a contemporary setting. Bambudda has a private room for up to 20 people, a corner patio and bar seating with sliding doors that open up in the summer. The menu includes family-style share plates paired with an innovative, Asian-inspired cocktail list.

Chef Scott Korzack uses local, seasonal, sustainable and msg free ingredients to create unique and imaginative dishes. Our menu and cocktail list brings freshness and innovation to you every season of the year. – Ray Loy, Owner/GM
