Brown Rice Sushi is A-Okay With Me!

Here we go with my healthy friends again this time introducing me to brown rice sushi from Mandala Iki Asian Bistro in Kitsilano. Having the option for brown rice sushi is becoming quite popular and is making its way around to all of the local spots. In my mind, once the sushi is drenched in soya sauce, you can't taste the difference anyway so why not go healthy and give it a whirl? This night we shared a combination of the yammy roll, tofu fibre roll (LOL, it was actually quite good), spicy tuna roll, inari, edamame and the papaya, mango and avocado salad. All were delicious and reasonably priced as well. Their menu is quite extensive so if you do give this place a try, let me know what else to order next time! :)

A Shout Out to Sushi

I am definitely no sushi expert but Sushi Town, Sushi Garden, Sushi California, you name the time and place, and I'm there! Talk about really affordable, giant rolls and speedy service. I likey. Above, is their coveted Alaska Roll drizzled with that finger lickin' good 'miso sauce'.

I also love me some spicy salmon sashimi everytime I'm there as well. For me, there is a huge difference between plain sashimi and when it's marinated in that sweet/spicy sauce tossed with cucumbers and radish. It's THAT much better. Now it would be rude of me to post these pictures up and not mention my pals SC and JY who are so madly in love with sushi, it's crazy! So here I am, giving you some sushi love.

Yummy, I much prefer my dynamite 'roll' in cone form. Can't get enough of that prawn tempura ... everyone should give it a whirl. As for that unagi nigiri - barf. I hate the taste of eels and always think of Ursula's comrades as I bite into it. Poor Ariel.

Another recent sushi adventure I had was at The Eatery. While I love their wide selection and funky as hell decor, their sushi is just okay. Their famous 'Captain Crunch' roll is above, deep fried and all, but it just doesn't hit the spot.

However, that night, we went for it. We ordered the deep fried Mars bar with ice cream and boy, did it not disappoint. MmmmMmm, I'd do it again. Yes I would.
