| - Visiting Crossroads market is part of my weekend routine so Eats of Asia has quickly become my go-to place for lunch on the weekends. Situated in the main food court area, Eats of Asia is a take on Asian street food from ramen, dandan noodles, crispy sisig, soups, baos, chicken skins, japatots to rice bowls, they've got all the street food everyone craves! I was first introduced to Eats of Asia's baos...boy are baos amazing. Lucky pig is my favorite, melt in your mouth braised pork belly, hoisin, cilantro, peanuts. Phoenix is a close second with fried chicken (I LOVE fried chicken), hoisin, negi and peanuts all wrapped in steam baos, they are truly small pockets full of flavor - they've got other baos which are just as good but I've listed my personal favorite. I've also tried the hand pulled dandan noodles which are pretty good too - the only thing is, the noodles are soooo long it can get kind of messy, tasty but messy.
Something new that has made an appearance at Eats of Asia is the poke bowls. I LOVE poke bowls, you get to choose the main protein, rice or salad, sauce, 3 mix ins and toppings, it's quite the refreshing treat. It's not comparable to poke bowls in the states but it makes a good substitute! I could eat poke bowls all day every day and wouldn't feel guilty at all.
Eats of Asia is one of those places you don't want to miss. All their food is tasty and definitely worth trying! I'd say go earlier as they can run out of the popular items! But NEWS FLASH - they will be opening another location at the Calgary's Farmers Market - yippeee!!
