Happy Thursday! I’m taking a day off from work tomorrow, and with Monday as a public holiday, that means an extra-long weekend. To kick things off, my husband and I had dinner at Kurotaki Chabann.
It’s a Taiwanese spot with all our favourite dishes! We ordered a fried chicken chop rice set, which came with a soft, seasoned egg, tangy pickled vegetables, and golden-fried tofu. The chicken chop was crispy and juicy, with a perfect balance of savoury flavours.

We also got popcorn chicken (my favourite!), with a light, crunchy coating that’s seasoned with a hint of basil and spice, plus a sweet, smoky Taiwanese sausage. For popcorn chicken, Redbeef Noodles still holds the top spot in the city, but this was a close contender.

Feeling adventurous, I went for the braised pork dry noodles. The sauce was rich and fragrant, with deep notes of soy and star anise that clung to each noodle. So delicious!

The ambiance at Kurotaki was great too. They had a big screen showing the Canucks game and anime-inspired decor throughout the space. I’m happy!
