GO Fish Ocean Emporium



1505 West 1st Avenue, 
Vancouver, BC V6J 1E8
http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/14/180709/restaurant/Fairview/Go-Fish-Ocean-Emporium-Vancouver

Located  near Granville Island, this little fish n chips joint is a hidden gem!  Most people would head straight into Granville Island and get their fish n chips, but this joint is tucked away and has a cute charm to it.  There are some outdoor sitting with wooden benches around, it would be lovely to go in the summer time.  We went, however, during the Christmas, and were freezing by the ocean.  Great fish and chips though! Next time I would definitely also try their sandwiches.



1 piece of cod fish and chips ($7.50)

2 pieces of salmon and chips ($11)

Most ramen broth are made from pork bone.  This ramen joint is uniquely using chicken broth instead.  Very unique and different than the traditional Ramen places I have been to before.  Recommended! 

Kakuni ($5.75) - braised pork belly

Daishimaki ($7.00) - egg omelet 
Tamago Ramen ($10.50) -  BBQ pork, seaweed, and crispy onions with a soft boiled egg in a rich chicken broth ramen.

Sabai Sabai Kitchen & Bar

225 Church St, 
Toronto, ON M5B 1E1
http://www.sabaisabaito.ca/

Before a play, we went to Sabai Sabai for lunch.  We ordered the green curry with fish and Thai BBQ pork.  I'm very pleasantly surprised with the Thai BBQ pork.  It isn't anything like the Chinese one.  It has a nice sweet & savory balance with a hint of spiciness to it.  Very delicious with the soft-boiled egg.  Would definitely come back again!

House made green curry with fish and rice ($11)

Thai BBQ pork and soft-boiled egg with rice ($12)
