We went to Ghost Raman a couple of weeks ago but forgot to post. It is on store street by the Johnson street bridge. It has handmade noodles and broth done by the team at Nikkei Raman-ya that my wife and I tried last year, in Courtney.
I started with a tasty sweet/sour Kiwami plum beer by Fuggles and Warlock with a Char Sui Bao.
It was then onto the Shoyu raman with an egg extra.
Everything was delicious, fast to come to the table, and service was superb. Would eat here again.
Although I prefer the roasted pumpkin seed version, these bark style dark chocolate bites with almonds is delicious. Barkthins is owned by Hersey but in this product they use fair trade non-gmo sourced chocolate. Looks like they have a lot of other varieties of flavour on their website. The pretzel one looks interesting. You can find them in many stores in Canada and the USA, but the best deal is Costco. You do get a large bag but its a better price point.
Pasteis de Nada is an egg custard tart pastry from Portugal is a delicious treat. When we were in Portugal in 2015, we ate these often and we finished this culinary journey with some of the originals at the original bakery, Pasteis de Belem. When we saw that a local grocery chain was carrying them and that they were from Portugal, we gave them a try. They are quite decent but still pales when having them fresh in the country they are from. Different versions can be found in countries around the world that Portugal had occupied.
