Why on π am I looking back at my photos from Vancouver? Dungeness crab + rice cakes, Shanghainese style π
Melody Fury:
I adore Japanese desserts! Folks at Kinome were super sweet to treat us to the green tea ice cream parfait (the fresh mochi were spot on) and black sesame panna cotta π and check out this wicked sake cup...! πΉ
Melody Fury:
Fit in some yakitori for our last meal in Vancouver. Chicken heart, gizzard & liver were crowd favorites. I have a soft spot for the cheese coated mochi π. Other fun bites included beef tongue, chicken tsukune & duck breast. Yup, we got o

Wonderful lunch @black_rice_izakaya with @rufinachang @chefalextung - loved the grilled sablefish bento with tempura etc. Great little downtown lunch spot! Always a hoot to kick it with these two π thank you!!
Melody Fury:
Tonkotsu with black roasted garlic oil and fatty chashu + okonomi-gyoza @theramenbutcher. No subtleties here, just straight up impact π not bad, and I can see how this would suit the Canadian/ American palate.
Melody Fury:
Glad I checked out @torafukuyvr with @foodandtell - the eclectic Asian small plates were fun but their cocktails were outstanding. To my surprise, the "calamari done the right way" was my favorite of the night (Humboldt squid, onion, tomato, lychee, arugu
