CAN: Longliner Seafoods

Do you prefer candied or smoked salmon jerky?

To some of us, candied salmon may sound strange. Before trying it, I was also skeptical about how it'd taste like. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back after buying some from Longliner Seafoods, one of the original tenants of Granville Island Public Market since its opening in 1979.


Candied Sockeye Salmon (100 g) C$7.70 (~S$8.00)
Taste: 8/10

I bought a small amount of smoked salmon pieces that were sweetened with brown sugar. Those sweet morsels were quite addictive, having a soft, slightly chewy texture without being too sweet. There wasn't much of the smoky fragrance though.


Smoked Salmon Jerky (100 g) C$7.70 (~S$8.00)
Taste: 6/10

I also purchased some smoked salmon jerky that was placed next to the candied salmon. While each strip had a smoky aroma that was much more intense than the candied salmon, I found it rather salty for my liking.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 7/10

Besides the two items that I purchased, the shop sells a plethora of fresh seafood items. Pika's advice: You may also want to consider candied salmon nuggets that are sweetened with maple syrup. They also cost C$7.70 (~S$8.00) per 100 g.

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

Surprisingly rich chocolate mousse! Here's the last post to wrap up the travel to the Americas. After travelling in the Business Class cabin from Panama City, it was time to head to the back of the plane for the next leg of the journey from Istanbul, Turkey to Singapore. Despite the more modest comfort, the food wasn't too shabby.
