A non-official fumo plush of Aya Shameimaru based on her appearance in Mountain of Faith sitting in front of two containers of sushi. One of the boxes has a shrimp tempura roll, and the other has a variation of the California Roll topped with salmon eggs, mayonnaise, and some sweet sauce. Both boxes have two salmon nigiri and one shrimp nigiri. My thoughts on the purchase: Rice is hella dense, so whatever amount of soy sauce you use in other places, you gotta double it (and add wasabi, too). Salmon is of a good quality but as expected from nigiri sushi, it is cut p thin like. The sauce they used in what seems to be their version of the California roll is flavorful enough to not need soy sauce, though it is somewhat sweet, and the mayo drizzle complements this. All in all, it's something to consider if you have errands to run in the Marlborough area, but I assume that there are far better places to go for sushi than a decaying mall in an admittedly unsavoury neighborhood.
It's Shameimaru Saturday, and with Kinjo bumping up their prices, Aya's clone has elected to report on the sushi stand at Marlborough Mall, #Calgary, AB, Canada. This purchase was $12 + tax, thoughts on the food in alt text

Fumo plush of Reimu Hakurei (PC-98) with a bowl of Vietnamese pho, a form of noodle soup with a beef-based broth. This one in particular is topped with rare beef slices, tripe, and beef balls. My thoughts on the dish: The broth itself is pretty good, and while there is a decent amount of the rare beef slices, there was only like 2/3rds of one meatball, and they definitely skimped out on the tripe. It's pretty clear that with how the dish was made, you're gonna load up on noodles moreso than with the everything else. If i'm to guess the amount of beef they put in, I'd say it's somewhere between 25 and 30 grams of the rare slices? They were at least seasoned pretty well before being thrown into the soup
It's Fumo Friday, and this $12 bowl of pho has restored Reimu's smile and purple hair! Purchased from Chez Nguyen, Beltline, #Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Thoughts on the dish in alt text

Fumo plush of Toyosatomimi no Miko with a cola and a plate containing a hashbrown patty and a huge-ass pizza slice topped with ham, sausage, and pineapples. Yes, pineapple belongs on a pizza.
I dunno if it's just me, but it seems harder and harder to justify getting whole pizzas from the smaller businesses when Pizza 73 is selling 18 inch ones at $20 + tax/delivery/tip. #fumofumo #fumoposting #ふもふも #yyceats #calgaryeats #豊聡耳神子

Non-official fumo plush of Aya Shameimaru as she appears in Mountain of Faith sitting in front of a breakfast skillet with pulled beef, barbecue sauce, hollandaise, and two poached eggs. My thoughts on the dish: While they got a decent amount of pulled beef on it, and that it was lightly seasoned (though not to the point of being underseasoned), they definitely skimped out on the cheese curds. The sauce they used on the potatoes was a good balance of sweet, tangy, and thick, and the potatoes themselves were also given a good amount of salt, pepper and I think lime? Either way, the overall experience was positive, though breakfast restaurants can cost you an arm and a leg, and should really only be visited if you've got errands, and you wanna have something you can't feasibly make at home
Aya's clone had begun her day with a very filling breakfast at the Beltline location of Namo Bistro, #Calgary, AB, Canada! For the brisket skillet and a coffee, she has paid $23.50 + tax and tip. Thoughts on it on the alt text

Fumo plush of Rumia from Touhou Project with the Gastro Chicken Club sandwich from The Tommyfield Gastropub. My thoughts on the sammich: Considering the size and irregular shape of the patty, it's pretty clear to me that they hand-breaded and deep-fried a wholeass chicken breast. It was hella filling and full of flavour, though the fact that they deep-fried a wholeass chicken breast resulted in it being overcooked, and the pretzel bun was hella dense. Fries were lightly seasoned, though I didn't feel like I needed to use ketchup on them.

Fumo plush of Aya Shameimaru from Touhou Project sitting in front of a bowl of Phnom Penh Rice Noodle Soup, purchased for $10 + tax, albeit with a smaller portion size on account of being part of a lunch special My thoughts on the soup: The broth is pretty damn good, and I really like the addition of ground pork, as it doubled as both a meat item and seasoning for the soup. Shrimp is shrimp, and shrimp is good, though the deboned pork hock is a little tough. It ain't too bad, cuz sometimes, you want something to chew on. The won tons are the standard Chinese pork won tons, so if you've had some variation of a won ton soup from a restaurant, you already know what those taste like. My only real complaint about the soup is the use of quail eggs, which really bulk up the price of the soup. Sure, the whites are tougher while you still get a decently soft yolk, though I think I prefer the whites of chicken eggs, and there's a lot more egg for a lot less money.
The Aya fumo with the bowl of soup from the first pic, but shot with the Sony Alpha 5100. My thoughts on the camera: I'm probably not the best person to comment on this, since I've been surviving on an AliExpress camera for about 16 months, and any sort of name brand camera with 20 or more megapixels would already be an upgrade. I think the issues I'll have with taking fumo pics with the professional camera will be more of me using a cheap lens and less about the camera body itself. 35mm is a bit more zoomed in than i'd like, which forces me to move three paces bacck from the subject I want to photograph. Another issue is that it's admittedly difficult to keep my arms still while shooting at a low shutter speed, which can make taking the right pic difficult. On top of this, the Temu lens being manual focus means that there will be some imprecision with the lens focus due to human error. Even with these issues in mind, it's pretty clear that the Sony camera spanks the hell out of taking pics with a rugged phone.

Fumo plush of Reimu Hakurei (PC-98) sitting in front of a beef burger with the standard veg and a mayonnaise-based dressing My thoughts on the burg: It's admittedly not without its flaws. While the patty is indeed larger than the standard fast food burger, the bun seems a bit oversized. To go back to the patty, it's lightly salted, but cooked to perfection. With the right amount of dressing, the burger would've been great, but they welt a bit overboard with the dressing. Even when considering that having cheese in it is an extra 50 cents, I think I would rather pay that extra amount of money than pay a sizeable amount more for a similar burger at other places. Purchased from Village Square Leisure Centre

The original fumo plush of Cirno from Touhou Project sitting in front of an ice cream cup containing a mix of Milk+ (their version of vanilla) and a chocolate banana soft serve, topped with fried coconut shavings My thoughts on the dessert: I'll admit that I would have enjoyed this a lot more if it were the chocolate banana ice cream by itself, though the coconut bits add a welcome texture variation. When eating both the vanilla and chocolate ice cream together, I find that the chocolate flavour really ends up getting lost in the vanilla. It's definitely not the vanilla/chocolate soft serve from the 90s, but it was still an enjoyable experience.

Bootleg fumo of Reimu Hakurei sitting in front of the Korean BBQ pork sub. My thoughts on it While the pork seasoning meshes well with the cucumbers, cilantro, and carrots, It definitely feels undetstuffed. This sub is less a sub and more a baguette with a side of meat and veggies. I don't even know how the inside got soggy either, but the wetter part of the bread was at least delicious.
An unimpressive first bite of the sammich
Stopping at Ami Tea for a Viet sub was a better lunch option than what was originally planned, but at a $10 price point, Reimu is still unimpressed enough to lose her smile and purple hair. Thoughts on the food in alt text #fumofumo #fumoposting #yyceats #calgaryeats #yycliving #博麗霊夢 #ふもふも

Bootleg Fumo plush of Sakuya Izayoi with a plate of Vietnamese rice vermicelli with a chunk of lemongrass chicken, shrimps, and one pork spring roll Thoughts on the dish: I don't doubt that the vermicelli dishes I've had in the past were larger than this, but it's pretty clear to me that there's much more food per dollar than what you'd find in most restaurants. The chicken is decently seasoned, though it is admittedly a little overcooked. The shrimps are cooked to perfection, thankfully, and the pork spring roll is sufficiently flavourful. My only gripe I have is the blandness of the noodles, though this is a common issue with every form of Vietnamese rice vermicelli. Thankfully, you don't need too much fish sauce to correct this Purchased from Thai Thien Sub, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Fumo mouth flipping: the good ending

Fumo plush of Toyosatomimi no Miko with imitation crab futomaki. Contains cucumbers, tamago, and pickled carrots and radish on top of the advertised protein My thoughts on it, since I already bought the two half rolls prior: Admittedly, I was hoping to find the $6 rolls, since the spicy beef is always an enjoyable companion to have with the crab. From my past experience of having these a few times, it's apparent to me that this is supposed to fill a similar niche to the takeout sandwiches you find in most grocery chains, though I find that the filling to rice ratio is far more favourable than a Safeway hoagie's filling to bread ratio
While I'm more used to the $6 futomaki that is half an imitation crab roll and half a spicy beef roll, I think I should report that a full "crab" roll is a dollar less, and also likely cheaper than a basic bitch ham n' cheese

Rin Kaenbyou with a slice of pizza My thoughts on it: I'll admit that I had a more positive experience the first time around. The chicken veggie pizza probably would've been a better purchase had I visited an hour earlier than I did. The cheese became a crust in of itself, and the chicken was dried up. I think this suggests that the folks in the Sunridge area find Chicken Veggie to be an unpopular flavour, and thus is the least fresh pizza. Seems like the slices themselves are cut more thinly too compared to other locations Purchased from Royal Canadian Pizza (Sunridge location), Calgary, AB, Canada

In all fairness, tonight was a choice between this pizza slice ($3.75), suffering through food court prices, or giving my money to a cog sucking franchisee. Thoughts on the pizza slice and purchase location in the alt text #火焔猫燐 #fumofumo #fumoposting #yyc #yycliving #yyceats #calgaryeats #ふもふも

Fumo plush of Rin Kaenbyou sitting in front of a bowl of Vietnamese noodle soup with rare beef slices. Purchased from Pho Daddy, Calgary Beltline, Alberta, Canada My thoughts on the bowl: I'll admit that I've seen similar serving sizes for worse prices, but I've also seen much better at just a half-dollar more. I have been scrolling through different menus on Google Maps and this seemed to be the second cheapest place for a bowl of pho, cuz the cheapest has the most inconvenient hours ever. When given the opportunity to sample different types of broth, I didn't really taste much difference between the regular (pictured above) and premium broth, so i went with the cheaper option, knowing that the regular one boiled their bones for a shorter amount of time and has some powdered soup stock thrown in to make up for the shorter boil time. If i'm to look purely at the size of the bowl, I'd say that it has the right amount of noodles and vegetables added, though I can't help but think that they could've added a bit more meat to the bowl. Nonetheless, it still had a good amount of flavour to it Ultimately, pho just ends up being one of those things that I rarely ever get due to the price difference between it and a banh mi. Vietnamese sub sandwiches often feel like they have more food per dollar unless you're buying from Mot To, Lai Rai, or the Calgary Stampede Unless you're specifically craving pho, I'd recommend eating other forms of cuisine if you have business in Downtown Calgary.
Downtown #calgary seems to not be a very good neighborhood for eating pho. With that said, Pho Daddy seems to be the least bad option, cuz this bowl has set me back by $14.50 + tax. Thoughts on the bowl in alt text

Fumo plush of Cirno from Touhou Project sitting next to Thi Thi's sate rib banh mi sub My thoughts on the sandwich: I'll admit that when I was watching the sub get assembled, I was slightly underwhelmed with the contents of the sandwich. Couldn't tell if it was shrinkflated from 2023 or not, but once the sandwich was fully assembled, i ended up feeling that the sub had a good balance bwtween meat, veg, and cheese, though I was a bit timid about having hot peppers in it. Whatever they use for "hot" sauce, ain't really all that hot at all For a $10 sandwich, it is still a lot more value for money than most places when buying lunch, though it can be hard to justify going to Thi Thi specifically over other banh mi places. I can only recommend going there if you absolutely want that hyperspecific mix of reconstituted pork patty and whatever that weird ketchup-y barbecue sauce flavour that the McRib had going for it.

Canada may not be able to get the beef stew pie, but at least in Calgary, Thi Thi Vietnamese Submarine has the McRib at home. Thoughts on the sub in alt text, though the sub is $10 including tax #yyceats #calgaryeats #fumofumo #fumoposting #ふもふも #チル
