This set off little alarm bells because I don't like to eat anything (especially raw fish) that is "trashy". "One tuna trashy to go" said the waitress.
#Pronounce chirashi how to
I didn't know how to pronounce chirashi, so I just pointed at the picture when I made my order.

I have always had my eyes on the tuna chirashi there, but I always thought that $10 for lunch was a bit excessive. So, the card works like this: buy $100 of food and get $10 off your next meal. The only reason I eat there is because there are really only three choices for food where I work: Sushi Ben, Safeway, or a Chinese restaurant called Uncle Ho's. I've read somewhere that unscrupulous soysauce factories use human hair as the main ingredient for their products and everytime I taste Sushi Ben soy sauce I wonder a little. The rice is stale, the salmon is tasteless and the soysauce has a weird taste to it. I have been eating there a lot (18 piece special to go) for the past two years even though I don't really like the food. Yet another tie to cut before I leave Vancouver: Today I decided to cash out my Sushi Ben VIP card. But I attribute this to the ingenius design of the backpack, rather than my lack of accomplishments at work. I was a bit sad when I saw that I could pack up more than two years worth of work and memories into one small Roots backpack. I spent a part of the afternoon packing up my stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and since my supervisor was kind enough to pay for it (thank you Sohrab, you have been a great boss), the food was especially tasty. The food there was very good for what we paid ($8.70 per person) and there was a strange mixture of Indian curries and Chinese/American food, like chowmein and spring rolls. Most of the lab went to New India Buffet on Broadway for lunch. Okay, enough sour grapes On with with the rest of the post. So in that sense, I'm happy that I am giving it back. While this is a terrific quality during winter, typing in front of this mini oven in July is a bit of a chore. I haven't done any quantitative measurements, but anecdotally I can say that this thing gives off more warmth than most industrial strength space heaters. If I was in marketing, I would call this the "Winter Monitor" and sell it to unheated homes in Winnepeg or Whitehorse. Two weeks from now, I'll also have to return my IBM P260 21" CRT monitor. I did my final performance review today and handed in my Palm m505. Today was officially my last day at UBiC.
