Excellent Ramen & Best Gyozas
one year ago
This Ramen place is rated #1 on Urbanspoon.com, thought I will go and try it.
I went on a Sunday and arrived at about 1.30 pm, to our surprise, there is no lineup (there is typically a long lineup - up to 3 hours, we heard)and we only had to wait about 5 minutes before we were seated.
I ordered their signature Shio Ramen - it's a mild and creamy soup seasoned with salt. The soup is very rich and tasty. I liked it, however, halfway through, I found the richness to be too much. I think next time I will go for what my husband ordered (the spicy soup base- see below). I had mine with a side of soft yolk egg (the yolk is orange in colour, soft and slightly runny) It is heavenly, it's a must order!
My husband had the the Toroniku Karo Miso Ramen ($13.45). The noodle bowl comes with a dish of garnishings and a plate of pork meat. The soup was rich and had a nice spice to it. After he had a bite of the meat, he asked for a 2nd order of the meat right away, it was that good!! The meat was really tender, however it was a little on the fatty side.
We also ordered the Chef's Special Gyoza ($5). It is the best gyoza I have had all my life. The skin is the right thinness and crispiness and the fillings were really tasty.
You also have a choice to go for a smaller bowl of the noodle ($1 less) or a larger bowl if you are hungry ($1 more)
Pricewise - it is more expensive than regular ramens at other comparables places on Robson, however I think the quality of the meat and the noodles justify the prices.
I will definitely go back!

The magic of Instant Connections

A very interesting and easy modern psychology read on what make us click with certain people and in certain situations but not others.
Some of the factors mentioned such as vulnerability factor is not new to me, but I still find the real-life and psychological tests examples to be very interesting.
It's a very entertaining read and you might even pick up a few tips on how to establish the instant rapport you want with people you meet.

Awesome looking brows!
one year ago
I have very sparse eyebrows and want a filler that looks very natural.(as if they are my natural brows) When I went to the Shu counter at Holt Renfrew, the lady who works at the counter recommended Seal Brown. It has flat tip which makes application very easy to control and fast. You can never overdo your brows with this. Even if you do, just use your fingers to rub off the excess. My only complaint is that it's expensive ($28 Cdn before taxes) and I cannot sharpen the flat tip myself. The lady told me that I can just bring it back to the counter whenever it needs sharpening and they can do it for me in 10 minutes. However, I think it's really worth it. High quality product and very easy to use.
