California rolls and prawn sushi at a metrotown AYCE sushi restaurant

Woke up and used the new crepe adjustment of more milk to flour. This time I think the ratio was too high because they were very hard to flip as they tore very very easily. A spatula was necessary and even so, quite  afew of them ripped in places as they were so fragile. I’m still improving them over time. Practice makes perfect!

I’ve been wanting to go to the all you can eat sushi place in Metrotown for a while now with the conveyor belt that brings sushi right to you. I got there and was distraught to see that the place was under new ownership! More expensive and the conveyor belt was gone. Instead it was like usual, where they give you sheets to fill out your order and they serve you the food. Not nearly as fun! The new place is called Kawawa and was $12.95 when we went, although it changes based on time of day and weekend vs weekday.

Went to East is East with Mum and Annie for dinner (second meal out of the day – quite the rare occurance indeed.) I’ve walked and bussed past it quite a few times, but had never been in before so wanted to try it out. Slightly on the pricey side at $17 an entree, but they give free refills on your food order and free chai tea (very strong I might add. The waitress said that it was Roibos tea with cardamom, cinnamon, and lots of ginger. The ginger is supposedly what gives it the “burning” sensation when drunk.) It had an interesting atmosphere with very low back-less seating, small decorated cushions, very dim lighting and a couple Afghan-looking instrumentalists later on in the evening. It was a nice meal.
