Sometimes the fun of attending a media event keep going even after the event is ended. After a Japanese sake\u00a0event in Yaletown, I stayed in the neighbourhood and went for drinks with my fellow food bloggers, Maggi<\/strong> from Vieamaggi<\/a>, Areta<\/strong> from Foodgressing<\/a>, James<\/strong> from Hello Vancity<\/a>, Hanson<\/strong> from Nosh and Nibble<\/a>, and Raymond<\/strong> from Raymond’s Sushi Adventure<\/a>. And this time we\u00a0followed Maggi’s passionate recommendation of Per Se Social Corner<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for their attractive happy hour menu, on which you could find $5 house wine, $5 beers and cider, $5 appetizers and $5 off pizza\u00a0between 3:00 pm and 5:30 pm.<\/p>\n

Per Se<\/strong> has taken over the location of the former\u00a0Subeez<\/strong>, where I used to hang out all the time when I first moved to Downtown\u00a0more than 10 years ago. It’s hard to feel crowded here because of the 7000-sqft open concept and dramatic\u00a0high ceilings. The interiors are chic and tastefully designed. \u00a0For food and beverages, the restaurant seems to have incorporated some of the most popular social house concepts here: \u00a0coffee house, pizzeria, and tapas bar.<\/p>\n

We first tried the Pinche chips<\/strong> ($5), \u00a0a tall pile of thin Kennebec potato\u00a0chips dressed in a Valentina salsa. The chips tasted just as incredible as they looked, flavourful and crispy, and the salsa made a great compliment with the zesty lime flavour. \u00a0We could barely finish half of the chips and ended up having the rest packed up to go.<\/p>\n

And we couldn’t pass up the $5 off any pizza deal for the happy where to buy klonopin <\/a> hour. Their\u00a0tradizionale\u00a0<\/em>Flour+Water pies are freshly made to order, but with quite the range of international twists.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Drunken Goat<\/strong>\u00a0($14) was probably the most traditional one among the pizzas we got, topped with tomato sauce, goat cheese, fior di latte, parmigiano, feta, gorgonzola, and\u00a0drizzles of balsamic glaze. It was rich with all the cheese but well balanced with the flavours from tomato and balsamic.<\/p>\n

The Kimcello<\/strong>\u00a0($16) was supposed to be Korean-inspired with the use of kimchi, mushroom, and beef bulgogi. \u00a0Although I could barely taste kimchi, the heartiness from beef and mushroom did provide the comfort of eating pizza.<\/p>\n

The Tuna Tartare<\/strong> ($17) did sound awfully strange to\u00a0me\u00a0when they put raw tuna, lettuce avocado on an oven\u00a0baked plain pizza. Hmm, I think the chef just decided to grab 2 of the most popular\u00a0food trends in Vancouver – pok\u00e9\u00a0and Neapolitan pizza and make a dish out of them. But it tasted better than I expected, with the familiar Asian flavours such as Japanese mayo and sesame oil.<\/p>\n

The quality and the value of the food at Per Se Social Corner makes the happy hour deal a sweet one. I was quite impressed with the Pinche Chips and the variety of freshly made pizzas. \u00a0And if you feel like staying at one destination after work\u00a0for a TGIF evening, this might be the place with the massive open space and cool ambience here.<\/p>\n
