Keto Friendly

A basic dish but done very well. Not too salty and tofu is fresh.

Very fresh dou miao sautéed in garlic. Not too oily.

True to the restaurant’s name, the Peking duck is excellent. First layer of skin is crisp and paper thin. Meat is succulent and lean, perfect in a wrap. Requires 1 day ore-order, but it’s worth the wait.

Skin is super crispy and glutinous rice is sticky and flavorful. Definitely very heavy and suitable for a special occasion. Requires one day pre-order.

A trip to Sakuraya is never complete without an order of grilled squid. A family fav.

My personal favorite grilled fish option at Sakuraya - grilled fish collar. Very juicy.

My wife’s favorite grilled fish at Sakura fish mart. Shima Hokke Yaki. Always perfectly grilled.

I love tofu and I also love sesame dressing. One of my favorite dishes at Fish Mart Sakura. Can order organic tofu version as well.

If you are looking for a no frills decent quality Japanese eatery, look no further than Sakura Fish Mart. Part grocery and part restaurant, you can choose your sashimi fresh right from their display fridges and ask them to carve it up to be served on the spot. Prices are reasonable and wait for a table is usually quite short (if at all). One of my regular go to places.

Always on the lookout for restaurants that serve hearty and tasty salads mixed with good proteins. Hans IM Gluck is one of those places. Pictured above is the Goldkehlchen salad - rocket leaves, grilled chicken breast (juicy not dry), mushrooms and Asian dressing.

Tucked away at the side of Shaw Centre on Orchard, Hans IM Gluck serves burgers and salads that standout for consistency and quality. Patties are juicy and fixings are fresh. Can order burger “naked” for those who avoid carbs. Can order the party pepper crusted for those who like it with a bit of kick. One of my favorite keto-friendly restaurants.

First time visit to habitat by honestbee. Shop for your groceries while you dine on some gourmet food at the same time. These pancakes at Poofy by Riz Labo (a shop inside Habitat) are very fluffy. Worth a try.
