Food review: Seaweed salad (dim sum)

Restaurant: Canton Seafood & Dim Sum Restaurant (San Francisco)
Food description: Wakame seaweed tossed with sesame oil, soy sauce, and sesame seeds
Food rating: 2 out of 10
Times ordered: 1

This dish looked delicious sitting on the dim sum cart, so I insisted we try it. Big mistake! When I first bit into it, everything was fine. Then, a strange disgusting fishy taste started to creep into my mouth. Gross! Everyone at the table didn't believe me at first, but they learned the hard way...It's surprising it was so bad since there's other dim sum at this restaurant that I really enjoy.

Food review: Dynamite roll

Restaurant: Sushi Delight (San Francisco)
Food description: Spicy tuna, eel, and cucumber roll deep-fried amidst a bed of seaweed salad
Food rating: 8 out of 10

This is one of the more creative rolls available at Sushi Delight. For not being a huge fan of spicy tuna, this roll hits it out of the park. The presentation is excellent and the flavor is a nice balance between spicy and sweet. It's not overly greasy and the cucumber isn't overpowering. The seaweed salad is a nice companion to cool off the spiciness. The eel gets a little lost in the spiciness, but it's still a very tasty combination. Overall, it's a very nice rendition of the spicy tuna roll and one of my favorite items on the menu.
