Bit of an unexpected busy day being called into work. So I used my VISA to buy second breakfast (good ole A&W), late lunch (curry tonkatsu rice and spicy tuna roll from Ebi Ten) and a treat for the end of the day. Don’t forget, after five days of #visaeveryday to see how much I’ve [...]
Sushi Kimura had food blogs and critics buzzing this spring. Chef Itsuroku Kimura moved from L.A. — where he owned and ran four restaurants — to retire in Vancouver for the better air quality. But he got bored of playing golf so he opened Sushi Kimura in a very unlikely spot in East [...]

It combines a few Asian concepts. The website [...] AoYama Cafe is associated with UCC Cafe, a popular coffee chain in the Philippines and other Asian countries. Its big sell is siphon coffee.
