Here are five most interesting food spots that have caught the attention of Richmond News readers:

Remix Restaurant and Bar

Asian fusion dishes such as salted duck with egg yolks, crabs, and BBQ skewers are on Remix Restaurant and Bar’s menu. The restaurant has LED and interactive displays along its walls and ground.

7-Inch Waffle House

The global penis-waffle trend arrived in Richmond in April this year. The store, 7-Inch Waffle House, features phallus-shaped waffles dipped in chocolate and toppings. Owners of the store is taking the chance to remind people with an overall message that “every inch counts.”

Kiraku Sushi

A Japanese twist to the classic hotdog resulted in a sushi hot dog in Richmond. Kiraku Sushi, on No. 3 Road, created the item by deep-frying the “hot dog bun” made of sushi rice and seaweed and topped with raw fish and avocado, cucumber and tobiko. Other items such as taco and burrito sushi were also on the menu.

Car's Dessert

Richmond’s food court scene has many hidden gems including a popular mango mochi dessert. One such eatery is Car’s Dessert, a mom-and-pop shop tucked in the corner of Pacific Plaza’s food court. Mango desserts are what the closet-like shop is known for including mango and baked-sago puddings.

Milko Coconut Dessert

Richmond’s first coconut milk pudding store opened quietly at the end of the year. Tucked away in a plaza across from the Richmond Public Market, the dessert shop offers glass jars of coconut milk pudding with different toppings such as strawberries, mango, durian and purple yam.
