A new pork katsu (aka cutlet) shop opened up in Surrey. Turns out it's a chain with multiple locations in Toronto. This Surrey location is the first in BC. The menu is quite simple: variations of pork loin or tenderloin katsu, or chicken or shrimp katsu if you don't feel like pork. Alongside there's also appetizers or fried chicken to add to the mix.
Matcha lovers rejoice! Considered the Starbucks in Japan, Nana's Green Tea has arrived in North America. In fact, their first ever North American location will be right here in Vancouver! On June 6, their Kerrisdale location will open its door to the public.
Yesterday I received a pretty neat surprise at lunch. Tourism Richmond delivered some freshly made dumplings from a number of Richmond restaurants. Why, you ask? There's now a Dumpling Trail in Richmond!
When work sent me to a 3-day class downtown, I had to scout out my lunch spots. And then there was Kita no Donburi right across from the campus (I was at the Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue). Not having made any friends in class just yet, I had to eat alone at Kita no Donburi. Let me first start by saying, it's weird to eat alone.
An impromptu dinner on a Friday evening took us to Torafuku, the new brick and mortar location brought to you by the Le Tigre food truck team. Frankly, and feeling guilty to admit to it, I never ate at Le Tigre. With the rave reviews about Le Tigre, I was quite excited to try Torafuku.
