finally managed to dine there the other night with my mother. somehow we managed to sneak right in and get a seat at the counter. typical of a japanese restaurant all the staff yell out a greeting as you enter which is part of the vibrant atmosphere in this home-style japanese restaurant.
nice concise menu with a large specials sheet. all the dishes are tapas sized. we got through 7 dishes before throwing in the towel and they were all fantastic.

so many things go good together. peanut butter and chocolate. fish and chips. bacon and hamburgers. in fact bacon goes with pretty much anything. but how about bacon as a main course? no? ok ok, well since bacon is often the domain of breakfast, how about bacon as a cereal?
wow! i can’t believe the creativity of some people. this video shows what happens when you drop you money into a coke vending machine. i wish i could come up with shit like that…

as anybody who eats with me me knows…i love noodles. so i don’t know how i never ventured into Sha Lin Noodle house on Broadway before (especially considering its like 3 blocks away from work). all authentic northern chinese handmade noodles. nice and chewy and hearty, not like some of the crazy light rice noodles you get a lot. definitely headed back there again.
mom’s birthday yesterday. took her out to coast for dinner. first time back since last summer and boy, it was just as good as i remember it.
started off with the seafood sampler platter which was crazy. all kinds of scallops, lobster, crab and watercress salad, clams and mussels in this crazy basil lime something broth (descriptive huh?) that ended up being the sessioned by everyone as dipping sauce for their bread.
for dinner, my mom freaked out over the king crab gnocchi which i had last time (yup its good). i tried out the prosciutto wrapped halibut with the prawn ravioli. oeuf that was good. the girl tucked into a lobster marscapone grilled cheese sandwich with lobster poutine (which was surprising given she’s not a seafood fan) but she liked it. i snuck in a few bites and i can say that its a good time.
now if only i could afford to eat there more often.
oh yeah, that bruce villanch guy was at the table next to us. talk about one look. i don’t think that dude has changed his hair/glasses/shirt in like 15 years.
