Island Eats–Fish on Fifth


IMG_8916
Wow! Its been a while since I’ve done this now. But I think I’m back on track and I should be able to post more regularly now, wohoo! This particular piece is about fish and chips we had at Fish on Fifth in Sidney BC, just off of the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal.
The story of how we ended up here, goes something like this. There is this phenomenal Thai food restaurant here in Sidney that I’ve been to called Sabha Thai and I really wanted to go there, but when we got to Sidney, it was closed (they close between 3-5pm) and so the search began for another eatery. We ended up selecting Fish on Fifth as our plan B because it was one of the better rated Fish and Chips in Sidney.

Big Portion and Big Taste – Anton’s Pasta Bar

_MG_9230 copy It was a beautiful night and we were looking for something dumb to do. So we went to Anton’s Pasta to stuff our face. It was quite the drive along E. Hasting as the traffic was so busy. Parking on the street was really easy to find. However, getting into the restaurant was no easy task as there was a half an hour line up. I was glad that summer is kicking in and we didn’t have to stand in the blazing cold because unlike Stepho’s, there was no heat outside. On this warm summer night, Ying and I cheerfully waited and carried out our conversation regarding how we can help Nabeel get an Asian girlfriend.

Sushi Delight at Ichiban Sushi!

Yet another blogging adventure fueled by a deal voucher I purchased online! Today we ventured out to Ichiban Sushi, a small Japanese restaurant located in the London Drugs plaza on Kingsway and Joyce. The place is hidden by Honolulu café in front, and if we didn’t know about it, we probably would never visit. Anyhow the voucher entitled us to two special rolls, two bowls of miso soup and 10 pieces of assorted sashimi for $15.

La Taqueria Taco Shop – Yummy Tacos!

_MG_8997
_MG_9002 Ah! Back to blogging after such a long time away! Rich recently got a promotion at work and has been super busy, while I’ve been having a terrible schedule for the past two weeks. A couple of weeks ago, we paid the downtown Costco a visit after I finally got a Costco card (after so many years!). Unfortunately for us, you have to pay for parking there. :( We ended up not using up all the parking time, so we were going to eat at the food court. However, upon seeing the super long lineup, we decided to head elsewhere. I remembered that La Taqueria Taco Shop was somewhat close by (~10 minute walk), so off we went for some delicious Mexican food!

The interior is super simple looking with plain light bulbs as fixtures and these cute little coloured stools. The brick wall added a homey feeling to it. Quite charming.

Red Rooster Encore

IMG_8180
So, after being disappointed with my first excursion at Red Rooster but only having tried a very small sample size of their menu with the Fish and Chips, I knew I wanted to go back and try more of their food. This time I was out to get pizza and feed the friends coming over. I now this isn't a specialty item still (chicken is their thing) so I'll probably go back again one more time before I'm done haha.
So we ordered 3 pizzas. A chicken, a meat lover, and a Hawaiian. This was the first time we had a meat lover pizza since there are very few halal pizza stores around this area, and we were stoked.
