Lunching light at Sugi

We were planning our first girlfriend's lunch for the year and couldn't decide on the option of restaurant.

One friend was preggy.

One friend was on the Cohen diet.

Another friend was on a break from the HCG diet.

Another friend wanted more options than just shabu-shabu.

Me? I was still on the seafood diet: when I see food, I eat it! (Don't hate me.)

So we all decided on Sugi in Greenbelt, where everyone knows your name if you're a regular. They'll even know how to prepare the dish the way you want it!

We saw Ines there and she greeted us Happy New Year and treated us to the yummy special for the month, the Kaisen Salada. It was fresh with its sashimi of salmon, tuna and white fish, along with yummy crunch greens and orange roe. (Thanks Ines!) Sugi has always been very good at offering new items on their menu.

After all that binge eating in December, I wanted healthy, yet filling seafood dishes. I ordered two of my favorite sushi:

Uni and Ikura sushi

I learned to eat ikura or salmon roe sushi while I was living in LA. There was a place called Sushi Sasabune on Sawtelle Boulevard that served only the freshest sushi of the day, and you weren't told beforehand what you were going to eat. All of the dishes were pleasant surprises and I this was the first time I learned the art of kaiseki. From then on, I was in love with the orange, glistening eggs that pop with flavor in your mouth when you bite into them. 

Now, I need carbs to be happy - I don't care what Mr Atkins or Ms South Beach or whoever says they are bad for you. I ordered ten cha soba just because I love the flavor of the green tea soba noodles paired with the crunchy ebi tempura. And I love dipping sauces! This came with TWO! 

I honestly can't eat more than 3 tempura in one sitting otherwise I start to feel sick. Remember that Saisaki promo, eat all you can tempura? My uncle could down 30 of them...that was then...

Best to make reservations when you eat here. I believe that Sugi is the most successful restaurant in all of Greenbelt 2. It must have good feng shui! :)
