New tonkatsu ramen in Burnaby 😋 Horin Ramen (@ New tonkatsu ramen in Burnaby 😋

Horin Ramen (@horinramen) has opened their second location at Crystal Mall in Metrotown, Burnaby. They specialize in tonkatsu broth ramen cooked 20+ hrs with the their special chili sauce for an additional kick.

The first time we came, we waited a long time for our food (tables after us got their food and left). But a server noticed I was getting hangry and noticed that our order never went through and let us know our new order will be rushed. She apologized and gifted us a free dessert. Appreciate her attention and she made up for the poor experience 👍

We tried:
🍜 The One ramen (regular $19)
🍜 Ajitama ramen (small $15)
🥟 Gyozas ($8)
🍰 Matcha tiramisu ($7)

Build-your-bowl hot pot 🍲 Big Way Hot Pot (@b Build-your-bowl hot pot 🍲 

Big Way Hot Pot (@bigway.hotpot) is the most popular individual hot pot restaurant right now 🥳 Price is measured by weight so the heavier your bowl is, the more expensive it is. But I’m here to tell you what I usually put in my bowl to make it less than $20!

What’s in my $15 bowl - I like the collagen bone broth:
- 8x beef rib rolls
- 4x napa cabbage
- bunch of spinach (it disappears 😂)
- 2x tofu ball (the biggest one! Sucks up all the broth)
- 1x mochi
- 1x peeled shrimp
- 1x fresh tofu
- 1x shiitake mushroom
- half fresh noodles 
- 1x mung bean noodle

Viral kaisendon in Tokyo ⭐️ This restaurant w Viral kaisendon in Tokyo ⭐️

This restaurant was all over my Instagram feed and I had to check them out! Tsujihan is viral for their seafood rice bowls and omg it was so good 🥹

They have multiple locations across Tokyo but we ate at the Kagurazaka branch in Shinjuku City because it was closest to our hotel. We got there 20 mins before opening time 11am and made the first seating with no wait.

Their menu is basically one item - the seafood rice bowl. The cheapest bowl is priced at 1,250 yen (~$11 CAD) and the most expensive bowl is 3,600 yen (~$33 CAD). The main difference between the different bowls is basically the amount of seafood you get.

I ordered the Matsu course (2,200 yen/~$20 CAD) and it came with extra salmon roe, extra crab, tuna, whelk, shrimp, geoduck clam, herring eggs, and uni 🤯 So much umami and so worth it.
