VIDEO: Best of the City trawls Victoria in search of the best fish & chipsPair of reporters visits six Greater Victoria restaurants in search of the best battered bites https://www.vicnews.com/local-news/video-best-of-the-city-trawls-victoria-in-search-of-the-best-fish-chips-8128737 (https://www.vicnews.com/local-news/video-best-of-the-city-trawls-victoria-in-search-of-the-best-fish-chips-8128737) They declared Sindy's Fish O Chips the winner.
Fish O Chips - Sidney (10153 Resthaven Dr.)
The first spot did not disappoint. The service was great and fast, and the portion arguably had the biggest piece of fish in this review gauntlet.
Speaking of which, the fish was just the right thickness, was light, well-cooked, firm, and incredibly flaky.
The batter was perfectly crispy and golden brown, with beautiful crunchy bits. Although it lacked a bit of saltiness – after all, it's always better to be under-salted than over-salted – it made up for it in flavour and texture.The chips, according to Ben, were the closest to the "real" thing. Thicker than your original french fries, the outside was golden brown, and the inside was soft and fulsome. However, the chips at the bottom of the dish became a bit too soggy for our liking – perhaps because of the steam generated by the dish's heat.
This British classic was served with a good portion of coleslaw and a small portion of tartar sauce. Although the portion was on the small side, the tartar sauce was full-bodied, sweet, tangy and well balanced.
The price for this order was $22, which isn't cheap nor too expensive.
Overall, Fish O Chips starts off as a contender to be reckoned with.

We know about the Ogden Pt Cafe but just wondering if anyone can recommend based on personal experience a good reasonably priced breakfast place that accomodates man's best friend, and also has a decent selection of gluten-free items for Mrs Bambam. If I can since we'll be driving I'd like to avoid the dt core due to parking hassles but if you know of such a foodie place that checks all the boxes, is dt, and serves killer food, by all means rsvp. Thanks folks....

amor de cosmos posted topic Esquimalt Prefab 4-plex Built in 2 Weeks
lpoutine,
amor de cosmos has just posted a new topic entitled "Esquimalt Prefab 4-plex Built in 2 Weeks" in forum "Urban Design".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty cool:
------------ QUOTE ----------
This proposed four unit townhouse development is in the development phase. It is being proposed by a group made up of three households who have joined together to form a small local company to create a sustainable, built to Passive House Standard, building that will provide the kind of housing they wish existed in the township and that they would be happy to live in themselves. All members of this group proudly call Esquimalt home.
-----------------------------
https://waymarkarchitecture.com/wollaston-townhouses (https://waymarkarchitecture.com/wollaston-townhouses)
Only 499,996 units to go! Anyway a related question I always have with these prefab buildings is whether the components are also manufactured locally and how long that part of the process takes, since I think the 2 weeks only counts the assembly on-site like a big Lego set. I'm pretty sure that's what's is meant in stories that in China, a company built/assembled a 10-story building in 28 hours (https://www.designboom.com/architecture/watch-china-build-10-story-building-in-a-day-06-24-2021/). It occurs to me then, that if a building can be designed for quick assembly, it can also be designed to fit perfectly on a semi trailer, and in 2025 why not have R2-D2 type robots to assist, maybe with instructions for a given design that would fit on a USB drive?
There also seems to be an open house from 4 to 6 today.
