From One Foodie to the Next
Sophie's Pick: Korean Village Restaurant
I got one of their BBQ sets and a Tofu Soondubu there and it was pretty good! Although the hot pots there aren't the best from what I heard, the meal I have was quite pleasant! They're also right next to a Korean fried chicken, bakery and a supermarket so it's a great location if you'd like to explore more Korean food and grocery options.
What: Shiki Menya is a cozy Japanese ramen joint with a hip, modern, and trendy vibe. They make their noodles and broth from scratch, meaning that they can only serve a limit of 150 bowls a day - but that's what makes it special. They never fail to impress me with their unique creations of traditional ramen dishes with a modern twist.
Recommendation: Goma Mazemen
It is a low-broth peanut base ramen with the best pork belly which is such a harmonious experience
Where: 827 1 Ave NE, Calgary, AB T2E 0C3
Bridgeland
When: 11AM - CLOSE (usually 1:30pm)
There is usually a line up at the doors at 10:45am and it closes whenever they run out of bowls. So come early!
Does anyone like shawarma? If you’ve answered yes, then definitely try out Shawarma Palace, and if you’ve said no, try it anyways and hopefully it’ll change your worldview on shawarmas!
Where & When:
Forest Lawn on 17th ave. (This is the one I go to, and it’s open until really late, like 4 AM late!)
Montgomery (10 AM – 10 PM)
Falconridge (10 AM – 12 AM)
Firstly, what is a shawarma? It’s meat (usually lamb, beef, or chicken) that’s placed on a spit and grilled for hours on end. It’s usually served either as a wrap, or on a plate. You have a lot of freedom on how you want your shawarma served – at Shawarma Palace you can include: lettuce, tomatoes, banana peppers, eggplant, parsley, cucumbers, onions, and/or pickled turnips on your plate or wrap.
While veggies are indeed nice and keeps you healthy, it’s not the defining aspect of Shawarma. The best part of shawarma is the sauce itself! At shawarma palace you can choose from a variety of sauces: tahini, sweet sauce, garlic sauce, hummus, and siracha. I recommend you to get all of the sauces (except siracha if you’re not a fan of spicy sauce), since when combined, they create a harmonious melody of amazing flavors to compliment your shawarma!!!
If you love shawarma then please check out Shawarma Palace, I personally consider it to be the best shawarma in town! If you’re interested but not familiar and find this whole shawarma business too overwhelming, then my personal recommendation and favorite is:
A mixed lamb & beef wrap, with veggies of your choice (Lifehack: I try to minimize my veggies so I can make more room for more meat), and extra sauce (all sauces, of course)!!!
Thanks for reading my preach on one of the wonders of the world known as shawarma everyone!

Thanks and have a terrific weekend!
