Snowy Village 4071-#2a Shelbourne St Victoria, BC Phone: [phone] Hours: Weds – Monday: 2–8p.m.

Unit #2a at Feltham Centre must be cursed. Every few years, it changes operations. Not even the novel coronavirus can stop Snowy Village during these harder times. I’ve visited this dining space in its previous forms, which can be found here offering churros) and here(Hong Kong style desserts).…
