It is often said that Hasting, the north eastern area of Downtown Vancouver, is the most dangerous area in this city. We can see lots of people dressed in rags and shouting F words meaninglessly out there. Some people are trading drugs and few people keep the traffic rules. I can't help getting nervous when I visit there. Chinatown in Vancouver is adjacent to this Hasting, therefore it is not always a safe area, but I sometimes go there because there are lots of good Chinese restaurants. They serve delicious food for very reasonable price. We can be full for about $10 for each person when it costs more than $20 in the Downtown area. This dish is Chow Mein with BBQ pork and pak choi. It is almost two servings and costs only $5. The only issue is that each menu item is so much in volume that we can't enjoy various items at one time if we were not in a large party. When I visit there alone, I have to have my leftover wrapped to take out.
