First off, three
cheers for the winter break and snow! Even though there are still ISUs and Work
in Progresses (ahem) to complete and exams to study (and in my case, practice
piano) for, I do hope to enjoy the moments when I'm not schooling because it is
still my break and I'll be damned if I've waited four months for nothing.
This evening, I
accompanied my parents and their friends on a holiday dinner. Ten-Ichi is one
of my favourite restaurants. It serves Japanese food in an all-you-can-eat
style...seriously, what can top that? Basically, you order a lot at a time and
the food gets brought to your table. The waiter usually comes around four to
six times before you start to feel bad or they start to get annoyed (you know
they are but they'll never show it!). One of the main reasons I love this
place so much is a little something called Rose-Maki. This is an inside out
(seaweed on the inside) sushi roll with avocado and crab meat with a mango
puree and fish roe on top. The mango puree turns this ordinary roll into one of
the most delicious things you'll ever eat.
Overall, the menu is
large and varied and is good for trying new foods. The desserts also come in
cute shot glasses. The service is also really good and the manager seriously
deserves an award. Needless to say, I highly recommend this place if you've
never been. If you've been, you already know what the hype is about. It is advisable
to place a reservation one or two days in advance especially if you're planning
to go on the weekend. This restaurant is EXTREMELY busy. Every time I've been
(too many to count), the place had been packed.

Thanks for reading
and I hope y'all have had a good start to your holidays!
On a side note, I
finally got Pixlr-o-matic to work. I think these crappy pictures taken on my
cell phone are considerably improved with a quick filter. The salted caramel
cupcakes post should be posted tomorrow...hopefully.

What pops into your mind when you think of japanese food? Sushi, of course! That mango puree reminds me of an episode of Master Chef, where a contestant tried to do the same thing. It ended up working well.
ReplyDeleteThis is on my top list of places to visit, I go to a regular sushi bar all the way up at kennedy and warden.
I miss Master Chef! Do you know if there's going to be a season two? You know Christine has a food blog too - you should check it out.
Deleteand mango puree makes EVERYTHING taste better.
There probably will be, Gordon Ramsay is on it, there's going to be a season two if he has anything to say about it.. I think it's up to season four now anyway, so probably :)
ReplyDeleteIt kind of makes you wonder though, how a blind chef can run a food blog... I personally don't like going on professional food blogs, firstly I get hungry, then I start feeling bad that I can't bake anything XD. It might be a good place to snag recipes, but then again, that's what the rest of the internet is for.
