TNR Sushi and BBT

[rocklobsta]

Ok so check it out check it out check it out ....

A bunch of you have expressed an interest in going out for sushi and bubble tea and getting smashed ... ok so maybe I added that last part in, but I'm sure none of you would disagree ...

I'm told this coming weekend is the tentative time frame (wow I sound like a nerd) for this to happen, so I wanted to see who's in, and what day's best for them ... your options are

Friday Feb 29th
Saturday March 1st
Sunday March 2nd

And if anyone knows of a good sushi place, throw out suggestions!

[CdnAgent]

Cant make any of those times.. im stuck in north bay!!!

Edit: Ive never even had bubble tea!

[DevilShootsDevil]

Eh, sounds fun, but I'm too sick to go anywhere in the near future.

[cujo]

Teh 7th!

Ok - so we decided that we're going rain or shine Friday, March 7th, 2008. If you can make it ... let us know ... if you can't ... there's always next time! We still need to decide on a place ...

[lefty]

gah.. sushi.

probably some good places by my school (ocad), i cant stand the stuff though. just see friends rocking it. think there are a few sushi places on queen and ummmm... dundas?

[Mike-KT]

Wise can verify that I've had some bad luck with Japanese food

[aSydiK]

Booo the 7th... do it this coming weekend!

[MiNdWaRp]

Can't make 7th :(

Go again when we have LAN!!

[Fabulous D]

wtf is bubble tea?

[Cleavage Monkey]

Yeah we can pop out for afternoon sushi during the LAN too for those of us who cannot make it due to location issues and previous engagements.

Bubble tea is tea with milk and little tapioca balls. Sounds pretty gross if you ask me but then again I have never tried it. Who knows it might be yummy.

[Slaughter]

I love bubble tea! I call the Tapioca Frog Eggs though :P or Tadpoles.. just without the tails. :)

But it's sooo good :)

Aji Sai on Danforth is pretty good. There are a few other sushi places on Danforth that are pretty good. If you are looking for something in that area, let me know and I'll find out some more good sushi places? There are plenty of greek restaurants for those who want to come out, but chose not to parttake in sushi ;)

[iheartyou]

If you get around to the Much Music building where ever that is, check out this phenominal Japanese restaurant E Mu Te(My translation may be off as i goggled it and coulnd't find the name) or something its completely authentic. Best sushi i've had in m life.

[r34ctor]

yeah, lots of good sushi d/t. Fune at Simcoe & Adelaide is REALLY good, but on the pricey side. anyway, have fun y'all. i'd be there, but i'm in mtl that weekend.

Ematei on St. patrick Street just north of queen.

Its good, not Sushi Marche or Cafe Michi good but the black cod in miso is well done.

You'll soon discover Onawire the food snob.

[badastronaut]

I have wayyy too many papers to do. This sucks.

Pro tip: if it's your first time with bubble tea, order a small. Seriously. It's like eating a second meal - so filling, yet so good!

[MaLeK]

Bubble tea rocks....especially the tapioca and spitting it to get them stuck on things (ok i dont do it anymore but i did back in the day) theres lotsa places like Kyoto sushi, Sky sushi whatever the eff else sushi Tokyo grill all around yonge and dundas yonge and college whoopdy doo. I'd go possibly ...possibly

[rocklobsta]

Thanks for all the suggestions people!

I think Cujo was saying there's a place around college and bev? Its all you can eat, so uh ... hurray for fat folks :D

Would anyone be opposed to AYCE?

[stride]

I can't even take pulp in orange juice. Bubble tea sounds completely repulsive. It's a drink people! God did not make drinks to be chewed!

[cujo]

Mmm bubble teas great stride. Its more of a snack, and snacks can be chewed!

lol just get the bbt without the bubbles. that's what i usually do. not a huge fan of the bubbles, but i'll have them every once in a while. i'm more about the flavah

[cujo]

thats called milk tea lol

[r34ctor]

sure, if you want to get technical lol. and if you do, it's not necessarily milk tea, since you can get bbt with non-milk-tea drinks. i refer to bbt as the entire class of drinks. :P

[cujo]

=.= bubbletea at its roots is milk tea plus sago balls (no, not saggy balls). everything else (flavors and all) are a spinoff of the original zhen zhu nai cha :)

[rocklobsta]

THIS CONVERSATION HAS TAKEN A HORRIBLE TURN FOR THE WORSE!!!

[Kupo]

Blueberry Cantaloupe Icey Swirl Bubble Tea, without the tapiocas = amazing.

[DevilShootsDevil]

yeah tapiocas piss me off! haha

[cujo]

its not bubbletea without the freaking bubbles =.=

[Crayola]

i dun like the tapioca

[badastronaut]

The tapioca is actually pretty good :) I just don't get why they call it "bubbles". Better than "chewy balls tea"?

[MaLeK]

How appitizeing does chewy balls tea sound.........i mean maybe for some of you

[badastronaut]

Hence, why they call it bubble tea ;)

But what about something like Tapioca tea?

[cujo]

Theres that rumour that Tapioca pudding has fisheyes in it.

[rocklobsta]

The tapioca is actually pretty good :) I just don't get why they call it "bubbles". Better than "chewy balls tea"?

Yeah i don't think it'd sound quite right if you ordered a Large Chewy Balls Tea with Extra Chewy Balls.

[GreenEnvy]

I don't know of any places in T.O since I'm not there too often. Good place in Burlington called Saga Sushi, all you can eat style.
St. Catharines has a couple good places too, but thats a little far for most of you :)

My wife and I love sushi, we're actually having friends over tonight for homemade sushi.

[ChikenKannon]

Urg.... Sushi and I have an agreement. I don't eat it, and it can be Sushi all it wants.

[cujo]

Fujiyama Sushi on Baldwin was the name of the place I was thinking of. Its kind of small though so depending on how many people are coming we may need someplace bigger.

Green, now that you've mentioned it, I'm expecting an invitation for this homemade sushi sometime ;D j/k

Hey, I have the same agreement.

[rocklobsta]

So from the looks of it, there will be a very small crowd going on the 7th ... does anyone know if the lan is still going down on the 8th? cause if that's the case, maybe we should just wait a day to accomodate more ppl?

and if you guys dont like sushi, whats the alternative? It'd be ironic if Kannon ate Chicken :\

[manofphat]

I don't know what's happening with the LAN now lol

Who's in? who's out? I'm going to call ahead for a table, so let me know if you're coming or not. fakeplasticbunny said she'll sing karaoke rick astley for you if you show up.

**Auto-merged Double Post**
:\ now that i think about it ... this weekend is the birthday celebration of two of my best friends ... I completely forgot about it. I know I made these plans first, but I haven't seen these friends in a while, so I'm unfortunately going to bail :( though I really wanted to go to undisclosed fish sustenance and chewy balls beverage :s sorry all

[CocoonMaN]

bubble tea? what the fuck is bubble tea?

I'll get smashed but this bubble tea thing .. wtf?

[GreenEnvy]

I'd love to go out for Sushi during the lan, we could make it that same weekend since it seems almost no one can make this one.

[ilikedonuts]

ohh I haven't had sushi in a while.I can come for dinner but may be not too long
since i have other plan that night.

[ChikenKannon]
