Masarang Deli Department of Hmart – Spicy Tuna sushi rolls

©©© 1/2 | (604) 609-4567 | $3.50 (plus tax)

Masarang Deli Department is located on the second floor of the Hmart at the corner of Robson and Seymour Streets. The deli offers a variety of prepackaged and a few cook-to-order Asian meals at affordable prices. 

Masarang Spicy Tuna roll is one of my favourite prepackaged sushi in town. The sushi rice was firm to the bite and deliciously seasoned with sweet and tangy sushi vinegar. Unlike the typical spicy tuna rolls, Masarang left the tuna meat unseasoned. Instead, the cook drizzled the sushi rolls with hot Korean sauce on the top. This unorthodox style let me cherish the delicate flavour of the fresh tuna while being pleasantly stimulated by the spicy Korean kicks. Be sure to check this out during lunch hour when the pre-rolled sushi is still fresh.

Zac Zac Japanese Curry House – Japanese Beef Curry with Korokke.

If you’re a fan of Japanese curry, you’re in for a treat. At Zac Zac (located in the H-Mart food court – @ Robson & Seymour), you can choose different toppings each day for a week without repeating once.

For those who feel adventurous, try the natto, cheese or eggplant curry. Look for the daily lunch special sign before you order (from 10:30 am to 2pm). The day I visited, the beef curry was on special for $6.78 ($7.98 regular). So I went for it and used the money I saved to add extra Korokke  ($1.50). The curry sauce was savoury with a subtle sweet undertone and a little spicy kick. It helped bring out the beef flavour really well. The Japanese croquettes (Korokke) were lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Small chunks of potatoes in the croquettes added an enjoyable texture to each bite. The rice was nicely cooked. At the end of the meal, my belly was full with great flavours and happiness. What more can you possibly want from an affordable Japanese comfort meal?
