SU&BU *.

P and I came by SU&BU for a quick and early dinner. 

The interior is set up for a grab-and-go style. There are bar seats and 2 tables of 4 available but space is limited. We were able to grab a bar seat since not many people were there went we went.

* SU&BU BURGER (4/5)
(Salmon, tuna, surimi crab, green onion, avocado, seaweed salad, arugula, coconut, lettuce, carrot, red cabbage, sesame mayo, sweet sauce, sriracha)

I was surprised at how much I liked the burger!! I chose purple rice, which is fried up and replaces the usual bread buns. There were a lot of ingredients stuffed inside and seaweed salad was the one ingredient that popped the most out of them all. It's a messy eat, but I really liked it!

* FISH POKE BOWL (5/5)
(Tuna, salmon, massago, avocado, mango, shredded coconut, seaweed salad, ginger, sweet chili sauce, su&bu sauce)

Everyone's biggest concern when eating raw foods is how fresh are the ingredients. The raw fishes in my poke bowl were fresh and delicious!! They were marinated with sauces, it tasted so good :) I'd definitely order this again on my next visit.

Pokito *.

I was invited to the opening of Pokito! 

It is a poke bowl restaurant opened by Bake Code, Chatime and Menufoodtrucks.

Ever heard of poke bowls? It is a Hawaiian dish which combines raw fish in a salad bowl.

"Poke" is Hawaiian for "to slice or cut" or "section", hence the sashimi blocks in this dish.

As this was a pre-opening event, I'm not going to review them on Yelp until I revisit :)

Firstly, thank you Hal & Brian for the invite!

At the media event, we got to choose the pokebowl of our choice, personalized with our names.

* 420 SIGNATURE POKE BOWL
   
(diced tuna and salmon sashimi mixed in ponzu lime sauce, sweet onion, cucumber, and hawaiian guacamole)

They spelled my name wrong :*( lol. I chose two items as part of the sides, mango and corn. 
I completely forgot about my love for guac. 

Side note: Poor PB had to wait across the street at a cafe when I was at the event ..awww!! :3
