Ro Sushi & French Made Baking on a Sunday !

Yesterday, we decided to try this sushi place that had caught my eye because it shared its name with a sushi place that used to be on Broadway (between Cambie and Ash St), on a block that is now entirely under construction. Ro Sushi has relocated to a block down from its previous location, right across from the Michael`s Craft Store. We went there right after we picked up Project Life by Becky Higgins from Michael`s, which is a really cool scrap-booking project that I`ve wanted to start for months now. (Give this a Google if you`ve never seen it and there are a lot of great examples on YouTube if you`re really curious! It is unlikely that I will be blogging about it much because it is a way of keeping more personal life events.) They`ve re-designed their store front and redecorated. I really like the new interior, it feels cleaner and I especially like the smaller size of the restaurant.

Tray E on their menu, called the Passion Sushi Tray for  $30 before tax.

K and I got a tray to share between the both of us, yumm. It`s not Minami or Miku for sure, but it`s decent sushi that is fairly affordable at a pretty populated intersection and area. Good stop for lunch break if you`re near by or on the way to somewhere, considering it is a mere two blocks from Cambie and Broadway. Not to mention, their waitress was all smiles, and my cup of tea was never empty! After sushi lunch, K and I were off to find ourselves something sweet..

French Made Baking is not a new stop for me, because their macarons were the first that I had ever tried two years ago now. The beauty of it all is the variety of macarons every time that I go into a macaron shop are different. This box here contains caramelia, le noisette (hazelnut), le jasmin (jasmine), matcha, le cassis (blackcurrant ganache) and marron glacé (chestnut white chocolate), and was K's purchase. Despite how delicious these are, our intent was not for macarons but for another stop of the hot chocolate festival...

Six macarons for $10 including tax at French Made Baking!

Beyond the Milky Way at French Made Baking for $4, tax inclusive.

French Made Baking was offering their Beyond the Milky Way: a pear, almond milk and 72% dark chocolate hotcho (dairy free). Unfortunately, I have taken ill and perhaps did not get the full experience of this drink, but there is a strong pear aftertaste that lingers with a stronger dark chocolate taste. I quite liked this, but K (who is also at the onset of being sick) found that he couldn`t taste much of the pear himself. This drink will be offered again on January 31st, February 5th and 10th if you`re interested in trying it for yourself, I thought it was a great way to wrap up my weekend :)
