Fin Izakaya

Jen — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 14:30:35 +0000

It’s only very recently that I’ve checked Fin Izakaya out and to be honest, though it had solid food with a couple high notes, I wasn’t wowed on my first visit. But by the end of a second, most excellent, visit to Fin, it had secured a place on my mental “places to eat” list. [...]

Izakaya Notes

Jen — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 14:29:25 +0000

Did a late weeknight visit to Guu Izakaya with friends not too long ago. Just so you know: it’s still busy, even at 10:30 pm on a Monday night. I also discovered that the Cheese Bim Bim Bap isn’t as gross as it sounds. I’d get it again! The food is still good and Guu [...]

Omakase At Yuzu

Jen — Fri, 14 May 2010 14:30:44 +0000

Though it’s been a while since I last went, I’ve always enjoyed my meals at Japango, the tiny sushi joint on Elizabeth street. So I’m not sure why it’s taken so long to visit Yuzu (opened back in 2008!) by the same chef/owner, Bruce Bu. But craving sushi one night, I finally made my way [...]

Hot Soup ‘n’ Noodle Comforts at Manpuku

Jen — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 14:30:07 +0000

With its frigid fingers curled around the city, Winter has arrived (returned?) in an icy exhalation. The sidewalks are dusted with a glittering veil that is quickly obliterated by pedestrians treading upon it. There’s no casual idling outside today. Everyone walks at a fast clip in the fading light, heading home to seek refuge from [...]

Kingyo Izakaya

Jen — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:48:05 +0000

Izakaya is huge in Vancouver for whatever reason. With so many options to choose from, we decided upon Kingyo for this trip. Sitting at the bar and leisurely ordering was a great way to spend an evening with friends. Not to mention tasty! While I love that I can now get Takowasabi at Guu in [...]

Vancouver’s Comfort Ramen

Jen — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:43:49 +0000

While I’ve covered most of my Seattle trip, I’m still catching up on the Vancouver portion of it. The day we arrived, it was cold and rainy (surprise!), and a hot steaming bowl of ramen at Motomachi Shokudo was a perfect way to start off our visit. Motomachi Shokudo is the popular Kintaro Ramen‘s newer [...]

Guu opens in Toronto at last

Jen — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 04:09:06 +0000

Izakaya isn’t common in Toronto and what has existed isn’t anything to write home about. On the other hand, Guu is five restaurants strong in Vancouver, so they know a thing or two about running a successful Izakaya joint. And so there’s been this anticipation around Guu‘s Toronto outpost that has foodies abuzz. Since Guu [...]

New Manpuku Nibbles

Jen — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 04:47:55 +0000

So in the last month or so, Manpuku introduced some new items to the menu. While we haven’t quite gotten through them all, one tasty and notable snack was Inari Sushi, a fat tofu pouch of vinegared rice, lightly sweet and just warm. Really tasty and clocking in around $3 before tax for a pair. [...]

Makin’ Mochi

Jen — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:07:31 +0000

Despite the fact that my trip to Japan was many years ago, the sweet and fresh taste of Ichigo Daifuku still lingers on my tongue. I can still remember bringing this perfectly-shaped, white-dusted, pink treat up to my mouth with two hands, can still recall biting down, my teeth testing the soft give of mochi, [...]

Beyond the rainbow of Starburst and Skittles, we find the pot of chewy gold.
