Hawaiian Poke – Helen Can Eat

Hawaiian Poke & More

@pokeandmorecanada⁣7256 101 Ave, Edmonton⁣ Craving some poke? This place offers salmon and tuna poke in your choice of eight (8) different flavours. [$14.25/half lb tuna, $16.25/ half lb salmon] POKE BOWL⁣Poke and base come packed separately, and by default, you can get it with either white rice or shredded cabbage. For $1 more, you can upgrade your base to either mixed green salad, brown rice, or french fries. ⁣⁣We went with white rice, and got a half pound of salmon in wasabi sauce, and tuna in spicy mayo. Both were very delicious and very satisfying – I love how incredibly flavourful the poke was without being overly drenched in sauce. For those who enjoy the tako wasabi from Dorinku, will also like the wasabi sauce – same idea, but imagine with a more elevated wasabi flavour. Think next time we could even just order the poke itself and make the rice at home 😉⁣⁣[$3.50/ea] Crunchy Spam Musubi – We ordered the regular, but because they ran out, they offered these instead. The fried exterior was perfectly fried, but not overly crispy that it hurts your gums. Definitely feels a heavier as it’s deep fried and spam is usually higher in sodium – still tasted good! Hopefully next time they’ll have the regular.⁣⁣Any one else struggle with deciding between trying some new eats, or getting something you’ve had and craving??🤣⁣⁣For more info:⁣www.hawaiianpokeandmore.com⁣⁣#helencaneat Originally published on Instagram on September 14, 2020

Splash Poke – Sushi Bake

Edmonton, Hawaiian Poke / Helen

@splashpoke⁣4112A Calgary Trail, Edmonton⁣⁣It’s been a loooooooong time since I’ve had poke, and what better way to try it again, than to experience it at #YEG ‘s first Hawaiian poke restaurants!⁣⁣The poke bakes were newly introduced shortly after the nation wide lock down. ⁣⁣I will say, the poke bakes were smaller than I expected (mind you, I tend to overeat), but the three we ordered was the perfect amount for the two of us.⁣ You can choose from four pre-designed flavours. You can either broil the top or lightly torch it if you want to avoid cooking the surface. Each take home poke bake comes with four sheets of seaweed. Of course, if you run out of seaweed (or if you have your own), you can eat it as is with the rice.⁣⁣[$13.45] Miso Salmon Bake⁣[$12.95] Spicy Tuna Bake⁣[$12.95] Chop Chop Bake⁣⁣We decided to go with the salmon, tuna, and chop chop – we wanted to try each protein on its own. All three were incredibly flavourful. There’s quite a mix of different textures going on from a combination of the rice, poke, sprinkle of fried onion that comes on the side, and the crunch of the seaweed as well. Personally, I enjoyed the spicy tuna and chop chop the most.⁣⁣For more info, visit:⁣www.splashpoke.com⁣⁣#helencaneat Originally published on Instagram on August 21, 2020
