Sushi Zero One in Vancouver for Dinner

On weeknight in November, Collin was in charge of cooking, but he said he would bring some food home instead and asked me what I wanted to eat for dinner. I wasn’t feeling well for a while and was in the recovery mode, so I was thinking about something not oily.

I asked Sushi from Sushi Zero One. It is located on Pender Street downtown in Vancouver, walking distance from Waterfront station. As far as I look at their tweets, they always provide fresh fish, which is very important when it comes to Sushi or Sashimi. Since they no longer open on weekends, I have kept away myself.

He ordered from their regular menu.

Downtown Combination
(Tuna Roll, Tuna Nigiri, Salmon Nigiri, Ebi Nigiri, Tai Nigiri, Tamago, Saba Nigiri, Ika Nigiri)

Dynamite Roll and California Roll

It has been almost a year since the last visit? I hope they can open on weekends again.

Wah Lun Chinese Restaurant in Burnaby for Lunch

On the second day of the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend, my new friends whom I met at the baby shower, and I planned to go to the Grouse Grind. It was the first time for them to try. 🙂 After we got over it, we headed to Burnaby, where one of the friends live, for having late lunch.

Luckily, as the middle of long weekend, this restaurant was open, Wah Lun Chinese Restaurant. It is on Hastings Street, close to Willingdon Avenue. They have dim sum menu, too. I think you can order them until 3pm.

A husband of my friend ordered for us, for four.

Seafood Chow Mein

This wasn’t in the list that we ticked with a pen, but he ordered it outside the paper. He asked the noodles as hard (fried) one. This reminds me of Kata Yakisoba that I eat in Japan. It tasted good.

Stuffed Eggplants with Dace Shrimp Puree

This was new to me, and I liked it. I could eat more!

Deep Fried Chicken Joint with Peppery Salt

This is chicken cartilage. Yup, I liked them, too. There were a lot to finish. 🙂

Cod Jaw with Ginger & Green Onions

This was also new to me. Basically, you just suck the piece and take fish meat out of the jaw bone. It was marinated with sweet sauce.

Crystal Prawn Dumpling (Har Gow)

Dumpling is always good, right?

I liked all of his choices. We couldn’t finish them all, so we took the leftover home. And, for these volume, look at the total price, so cheap! I’m looking forward another opportunity!

Ramen Jinya in Vancouver for Dinner

On the first day of the Canada Day long weekend, I went hiking again. It was warm day as the end of June, and I felt humid while I was walking in the woods. The trail where I went has uphill for a while, so by the time when I finished the whole trail, I was exhausted.

When I came to downtown Vancouver, my mind was already set to the cold noodles for some reason. There were a couple of places where serves them as I knew. I chose Ramen Jinya. Jinya is on Robson street, a walking distance from the Vancouver Library. They serve the cold ramen noodles in summer time.

I asked if they already served it before sitting, and I ordered one.

Cold Ramen Noodles (Hiyashi Chuka)

With this cold ramen noodles, the soup (sauce?) comes with some sourness, which is vinegar. All ingredients on top were balanced when I ate together. I’m glad to go there!

Their website URL has been changed since the last visit.
