Paletas of Summer

What could be better on a hot summer’s day than a fresh made ice pop, maybe even with a dash of alcohol? Yum!

Hiroshi’s on Oak

Hiroshi's

When you start hanging out in a new neighbourhood, you inevitably start to frequent the local eateries. I recently moved to Oak Street, so it didn’t take very long before I ended up at Hiroshi’s Sushi Creations, a couple of blocks away.

I have to admit that I was a bit apprehensive about the “sushi creations” part of the name and while I didn’t order any, there are several of these on the menu. Tuna with pumpkin or mustard and cilantro, for example.  I had  my standard chopped scallop cone as well as salmon nigiri, unagi and negitoro with lots of green tea to wash it down and I was satisfied. The salmon was limp and lifeless, but the negitoro and scallops had good texture and taste. The unagi in particular was full of flavour.

This is a tiny spot that was bustling at lunch and I’m sure does a roaring take-out business as well. I’m sure I’ll be back as long as I’m in the neighbourhood.
