A blend of styles to cook up something new.
Salt Spring Noodle Bar & Curry House
149 Fulford Ganges Rd.
Gasoline Alley
Ganges
Salt Spring Island, B.C.
(250) 537-1234
J: Noodle House wasn’t my first choice for lunch but I’m glad it was my last. Thanks to Bruce’s Kitchen, we were able to make a great discovery. The aromas wafting from an old style kitchen pulled Ed and I by our nose hairs into a large line-up of hungry patrons.
Nagomi Sushi
4557 Blackcomb Way
Whistler, BC
(604) 962-0404
Nagomi Sushi is a restaurant that opened in 2008 in Whistler, BC. After sampling their mackerel in their Saba-Bo Sushi platter ($14.50), this place had me whistling Dixie and then some. I haven’t had that level of fresh fish for a long time. When I bit into it, I knew I was biting into something that was fished out of the sea that day. I was more pleased to see some tender skin was left for me to nibble into.
And with a full fillet to fill me for the night, I had to wonder if I had room for the other two dishes I ordered. This one roll is enough to serve three, let alone the two gullets I was trying to make up for. But with a night of video editing before me, I needed all the brain juice that I could muster.
The Village
2518 Estevan Avenue
Oak Bay, BC
(250) 592-8311
A bounty of brunch options for the discerning connoisseur can be found in The Village. There’s no direct bus service to get from Camosun College’s Lansdowne campus to Estavan Village, where The Village is located; if there were, this diner would be constantly busy.
