🇨🇦 Victoria & Nanaimo | What I Ate in 4 Meals 🍽️

(The 4th meal was devoured too hungrily for photos 😂) 1️⃣ Victoria Pocha (Korean) As a huge Korean food lover, I’ve tried many places — but their pork hock (jokbal) is THE BEST I’ve ever had! 🐖✨ Way better than any K-town spot in Coquitlam. Highly, highly recommend! 2️⃣ Kuma Noodle Japan (near UVic) Known as a student canteen 🍚 They serve ramen, but their rice bowls (don) are incredible — even better than the ramen! Probably the best don I’ve ever tasted. The owner is a sweet Japanese grandma 👵🍱 — basic English is okay, but deeper chats need translation (or Japanese skills!). 3️⃣ Lighthouse Bistro & Pub (Nanaimo) Wanted to dig for oysters but had no time/tools 🦪😅 So we settled for restaurant oysters ($3.99 each — a bit pricey but tasty!). Also tried fried chicken, mussels, and cod tacos — the mussels and tacos were delicious! 🌮 4️⃣ Uni Modern Japanese Restaurant We were starving and forgot to take photos 🍣⚡ Ordered sushi, pineapple beef skewers, and wontons. Sushi was okay (rice fell apart easily), but the fish was fresh. Pineapple beef skewers were average, wontons were decent. Edible, but wouldn’t go back. Also snacked on treats brought from Vancouver + fast food 🍔🍫 #CanadaLife #VancouverIsland #VictoriaEats #NanaimoFood #RichmondBC #FoodReview 🍜🦪🍚
