eat raw fish! (poke)

poke is one of the best and most locally beloved foods you can get! there are so, so many opinions on who has the best poke, where you should eat, and i’ll try to give you a full run-down on what to expect and where to go!

first, you should try the spicy ahi. there’s plenty of flavours that are good (shoyu, oyster, garlic, california, ginger), but the classic is spicy! you have to try it at least once.

second, make sure you get a poke bowl, not just poke. poke without furikake rice is why.

third, there are fancy places with bubu arare and fancy toppings, and these places are amazing. but you honestly can’t go wrong with a no-frills foodland poke bowl.

okay! so. I have suggestions.

basic, no-frills: foodland | tamura’s

fancier: off da hook (try the ginger poke) | cooke street market (get the garlic lovers) | redfish (try the seoul bowl)
