Anyhow, i just returned from a long weekend in Vancouver and it was a fantastic trip! the jap food out there is just AMAZING! This was actually my 4th time out there and i love it!
So, first up, JAPADOG! This is an awesome japanese hot dog stand at the corner of burrard and smithe. This stand was actually there the first time i went out to van but it wasn't very popular then so i never bothered to try it...but 4 years later they've made the headlines of many papers and magazines and have caught the attention of various celebrities including ice cube!! there was a picture posted on the hot dog stand that said he ate there 10 times!! lol
They have quite the variety of hot dogs and toppings but mind you the prices are a little wack. it ranges from around $4-$7 for a hotdog!!! but hey, if you're not eating it everday then its worth it to try. Vancouver Magazine named it as apart of the 101 things you have to taste before you die in the September 2008 issue.
So i decided to try the kurobuta terimayo hotdog which consists of a hotdog made of japanese pork topped with grilled onions, teriyaki sauce, japanese mayo and shreds of seaweed. Ya you think it sounds gross til you eat it! It's F-ING delicious! I'm getting hungry right now just talking about it :P
