  sink sous-vide salmon tempura with wasabi creme fraiche

  12.04.11 | Permalink | 2 Comments | By Jonathan

  I got inspired by a video demonstrating how to use a sink full of hot water to sous-vide small portions of fish. Not having sprung for a SousVide Supreme yet, this was my only shot.
  I wanted to emulate a dish they used to serve at Gastro Pod, a tempura salmon served with a wasabi sabayon [...]

  Pourhouse through Paper Camera

  Playing with the iphone app Paper Camera, right before guzzling Rob Roys, and scarfing their excellent burger. Paper Camera is the best $0.99 you can spend, worth one sip of cocktail.

  Sushi Earrings & Candles

  At the Powell Street festival there were many fun things to buy, such as tea and sake cups, kimonos, hand-made greeting cards and lots of baby stuff. But what stood out for me were the playful sushi earrings and candles.
  I think the earrings are super-cute and affordable, although it took some convincing to get Sunny [...]

  Big Lou’s Pork

  08.02.11 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  Big Lou’s Butcher Shop at 269 Powell Street has a great selection of well-priced meat. This seasoned pork chop was only $4.50 for two. The Pemberton cow costs more, but you will never regret it. I inquired about rabbit and was told that maybe by Christmas. The sandwich menu is fantastic, and across the street [...]

  Dishes @ Miku

  These are some new dishes for me at Miku!
  The sashimi salad is amazing value and quite huge, packed with very small pieces of salmon and tuna. This is not suitable for someone who doesn’t like one or the other (true story). The gyu tataki was gorgeous to look at and the meat was excellent, one [...]

  Thai deep fried squid, perfectly cooked, is an unparalleled (if slightly guilty) bar snack. I liked this so much, I tried a calamari version as soon as I got home to somewhat mixed results. I got the seafood cooked very well, with a nice light treatment, but the flour largely came off. I need to [...]
