Salmon & Bear, Zetland

Salmon & Bear is an upscale, themed fish and chips shop in Zetland. We visited this restaurant in its second week of operation.

Setting
Stepping into the restaurant brings you literally into a whole different world. The interior is heavily themed into a very cosy Canadian hunting lodge, with Stag heads and salmon hanging from its walls. Walking in, you will first notice a strong blast of smoked fish. There is a  large table in the middle of the restaurant with stools all around it, replicating a homely eat-in kitchen of a home. I do have to admit that the seating is rather cramped. Best not to visit if you have more than 4 in a group.

Food
Grizzly Plate ($25) -  Any fish (Chose: Ora King Salmon), any sauce (Chose: Oyster & Sesame), any 2 sides/ salad (chose: Corn Salsa and Chips). The Ora King Salmon was perfectly cooked grilled and smoked in the charcoal Mibrasa oven. The skin was crispy while the inside was pink. On the downside, the de-boning needs some work - there were quite a few bones still in the salmon. The sauce made from Chinese Oyster sauce was slightly thinned and went well with the fish. The Corn Salsa was fresh and excellent. Chips were thick, and crispy.


Cubs Menu ($8) - Salmon Slider with Sweet Potato Chips. The salmon slider was definitely looking more like a small salmon burger. The sweet potato chips was probably one of the best we had - crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. This is good portion for a very hungry kid or a not so hungry adult.

Drinks
You can find your favourite soda here as well as a decent selection of beer and wine. We went for soda on this occasion.

Service
Service here was excellent - warm and friendly. Food was served very promptly. Tables were cleared quickly to make room for the next diner.

Overall
The food was excellent. The setting and service made the place very warm and welcoming. Will be back, most certainly.

COVID-19 Stay-at-home Day 6: Kimchi Pork Stew Recipe

Image
Hi guys! It's day 6 of our COVID-19 stay-at-home plan. I've decided to resurrect my blog by sharing our meals with you guys. Tonight on the menu is my version of a Kimchi Pork Stew. It's super easy to make and you don't have to follow the vegetable recommendations strictly here. You can use whatever veggies you like. So here's it! It's best served with rice.

COVID-19 Stay at Home Day 7: Crispy Rice Cakes Recipe

Image
Hey guys! Just sharing a quick analogy about numbers and COVID-19 and why you should avoid the disease before I post my recipe of the day. Imagine you have a packet of M&Ms with 100 little chocolates in it. Now you're being told between 2-6 pieces in that packet has cyanide in it, and there are a few that will give you violent diahorrea what would you do?  1) Throw the whole packet away 2) Eat it cause I won't die from diahorrea 3) Eat it cause what's the risk of dying, it's just 2-6%?! 4) Eat it and share it with all your friends and family and even your doggy! Personally, the most logical answer for me is to throw the whole packet away. It's the same reason why I'm staying at home to help stop the spread of COVID-19. I guess it's really food for thought! That said, here's my recipe for today! I've had some leftover rice from last night and NO WAY, not wasting any rice as it's super hard to find rice out there. I've turn my lef...

How to pick your notebook for Bullet Journal

Image
The bullet journal is a "back-to-traditional" organisational tool. It has won many fans not only from those who like being organised with to-do lists, but also from many craft and stationary enthusiast. If you've not heard of bullet journalling (or bujo for short), it is a system using a combination of long term and short term to-do lists, coupled with calendars to keep organised. Variations include meal prep lists, shopping lists, goals, etc. Many craft lovers also use their bujos for variations of paper crafts (like scrapbooking) and calligraphy. There are a good variety of different types and styles of notebooks available on the market. One of the most common dilemmas most newbies to bullet journalling have is what type of notebook to use. It might seem quite trivial for those who have never stepped into the bullet journalling world, but in fact the different types of notebook are used quite differently. To pick your first bullet journal, I've tried to catego...
