I think it was during one of the many PECHAKOOCHAS that I've attended when I heard not one, but several presenters talk about how much they were influenced by things from Japan. 聽Their attention to detail, the craftsmanship, they just know how to make things better.....
Well...not everything, and unlike the presenters, instead of the things the Japanese get right, I like to see the fun and exciting things the Japanese royally mess up. 聽In this case, Pizza. 聽 is a Japanese Pizza chain which has a store in Richmond's Aberdeen Mall. 聽I have no idea where the name Strawberry Cones comes from, I'm usually pretty good when it comes to deciphering poor Japanese/English translations, but this one's got me.
If you've ever been to Asia, you might have been horrified when you went out for pizza, corn mayo anyone? 聽Hey, they feel the same way about sweet and sour pork and cream cheese sushi. 聽If you've developed a taste for this bastardized version of pizza, or you don't want to hop on a plane to try it, one quick ride on the Canada Line, you can sample it for yourself. 聽How about potato egg salad, potato tuna? The one that really got my attention was the mochi, teriyaki chicken which wasn't bad at all. 聽The mochi was cut up real small and I dug the texture, the little bits of seaweed too were reminiscent of a . 聽It worked. By no means would I rate this place even close to my pizza place, but when you tack on the cultural experience points, it passes. 聽It was in a r too which you know turns me on.....
Next up....you guys ever messed with a hamburg steak?
