The nostalgic red lanterns, scrolls of calligraphy, jade tapestries, carvings and artifacts are positioned in concinnity to bring out that grant ambiance one can only find in an ancient Chinese building, but here in Vancouver, those are just part of the grasping décor East Passion wants to embrace.
Their downtown Vancouver location is an ideal venue to introduce to other ethnic markets what the true culture of China and what fine authentic Chinese cuisine really are. East Passion is so passionate in promoting the culinary art and culture of the Orient, they establish these regimes: Serve only healthy and hearty gourmet; no MSG is used; break away from the generic Chinese restaurant mode.
The first thing East Passion needs to do is to create a comfort zone for non-Chinese customers to relax and have a good time. Started with a handsome looking lounge and a fully-loaded bar, they serve trendy cocktail drinks and a global wine list.
The kitchen team, led by Executive Alfred Fan, a veteran chef who cooked at world famous Peninsula Hotel, understands and supports East Passion’s philosophy. Award winning Executive Chef Fan is an expert in both Chinese and Western cuisine, including French cooking.
“Vancouver is a vibrant multi-cultural city and top-notch food country, the cuisine here must reflect these |

characteristics.” Chef Fan explains. East Passion offers a wide range of Asian dishes including dimsum, Thai, Japanese and popular stir-fry dishes; as well as French and West Coast cuisine. “Diners will find themselves enjoying a new and unique culinary experience.” | |
