To make up for this, i'm giving you a bunch in a row in honor of my good mood, it being my birthday next week and all. This, of course, will prompt a bunch more entries for next week. Watch out for them!
This post is about another Japanese restaurant, one that I always enjoy and can count on, like an old friend. Prices are affordable, the food is good quality and the service is the bomb--they always remember their repeat customers.
B was leaving for Boracay and the evening before her flight, I asked her what she might like to eat that she couldn't get on the island, and Sugi was it.
Since I had eaten something before going out to dinner, I was willing to share my food and not get my own dish, hehe.
I love the amuse bouche they give you before a meal, this was pickled cucumber. Lot's of times we order off the menu and this is a dish you will see later reincarnated in this post.
I love any kind of Japanese salad dressing but most especially the sesame and vinaigrette kinds. Marty, B and I ordered this interesting seafood salad, big on the seafood, small on the salad. Love the tangy dressing!
Now this sashimi is a Sugi specialty. Spicy tuna with tempura flakes and topped with dried seaweed. I always order this whenever I'm here.
B really likes this eggplant dish. Now i'm not a fan of eggplant too much, except in eggplant marinara and the Greek eggplant dip. Maybe that's why my camera failed to take a good photo here.
This was the spider roll and it was one hot beautiful mess. Delish!
I forget the name of this roll but its very good, and quite a bit of everything. There's salmon, unagi and tuna. I was just saying this day that I only like my unagi in small doses such as this. Otherwise I kind of want to throw up a little in my mouth, maybe its the oiliness from its fat or something.
Now this was what I was talking about earlier. When Marga arrived ala Jay or one hour later, she asked them to make this salad of the pickled cucumber together with sesame seeds and shredded chicken. So tangy and crunchy and light at the same time, perfect munching food. Try asking for it next time!
We ordered this salmon sashimi way before Marga got there. And this was our version
And this was her version. Which do you think looked more artistic?
When I eat here I always get either gindara, the steak with mushrooms, ten zaru soba or the chicken kakaage. I'm glad I have friends with different personalities to eat new things with...Missing B already. Hope she's having a blast in Boracay.
