So, it might be of no surprise to you, but I spent this past weekend checking out some of the latest & greatest places to eat in Vancouver. Food is quickly becoming my hobby & my stomach thanks me for it.

I have been dying to go to a poke bar, so when I heard about “Pokéritto”, it was my first stop. With both traditional poke bowls & new poke burritos (hence the name), even though there are only two choices, I still had to try both.

^^ at Pokéritto, it kinda works like a Subway. There are some combinations on a set menu, or you can be adventurous & create your own.

^^ since I’m indecisive, I went with one of the combos off the menu. For the bowl, I got the North Shore, which had ahi tuna & everything from crab to gomai & pineapple.

^^ for the burrito, I got the Hanauma, which had fresh salmon, masago & edamame. I also topped both with a ponzu citrus sauce!

Okay, so Pokéritto was everything I hoped for & more. But, what’s dinner without dessert? I was browsing through Instagram & I saw this:

So naturally, the next day we had to go.

In the heart of Yaletown, “Mister” is the latest in ice cream…I mean, crème brûlée ice cream? Yes, please. Made to order right in front of you using fresh cream & liquid nitrogen, it both looks & tastes like magic.

^^ this little beauty is mojito flavoured. All the flavours come in this adorable cone shape which was almost to perfect to eat.

& then of course we had to order the crème brûlée, which was fired right in front of us.

^^ isn’t it beautiful?

So, I guess if you ask me what I did this weekend, I would say I ate. Sometimes we find ourselves in a food-rut, stuck going to the same places over & over cause it’s familiar & easy. Although, I admit, it took a little more research & navigation, taking the time to explore all your city has to offer can be both fun &, of course, delicious. You never know what you might find. You might just be missing out on the next poke burrito.
