Dined at the restaurant chain Mikes, otherwise known as Toujours Mikes in the French-speaking parts of Canada. We ordered a Popcorn Shrimp appetiser to share, which came within 5 minutes of ordering.

The popcorn shrimp is essentially tiny pieces of breaded shrimp, served with salsa and lemon. The popcorn shrimp is fried to a deep golden brown, ensuring that each piece is crispy. The breading is even, but could’ve been much better with more shrimp to breading ratio. The zestiness of the lemon juice went well with the popcorn shrimp as well as the sweet tomato salsa, ensuring that the dish wasn’t too oily or overwhelming. Good for an appetiser, but not that affordable or value-for-money.
