Whoa, it’s been a month since my last entry. I don’t really get the chance to eat out much nowadays, but hope all is well with you fellow readers.
I bring to you in this entry, a tempura prawn hand roll, the exquisite Uni Sushi, and a famous nibble from Kansai – takoyaki.
First of all, we have the tempura hand roll, aka temaki sushi. This is a pretty popular dish I believe, and it tastes great with some Japanese mayo and tempura prawn. One complaint with this one, is that the tempura prawn doesn’t really look like tempura prawn xD.
Next up, is the Uni Sushi. Uni is basically sea urchin roe, and has the distinct aroma when you eat it. It is strong tasting, and i strongly suggest you not to have much soy sauce with it, as it ruins the aroma and aftertaste you get from it. Highly recommended, and it’s not that bad to spoil yourself once in a while. =P
And last but not least, we have the takoyaki. Takoyaki is like a batterred ball with cuttlefish inside, sprinkled with Okonomiyaki (Japanese Pancake) sauce, and some Japanese mayo. It’s the best thing to warm you up on a cold winter day. You might get a surprise though, as the first time I had it in Japan, I didn’t expect it to be so boiling hot! Unfortunately, I don’t have pics of what official takoyaki is like, but I promise that I would show you, if I ever get to take a snap of it.
You can find all the above from Sushi on the Run in Fortitude Valley on Wickham St I believe? Go have a try sometime. =)
kinda strange that they serve tagoyaki in plate~ haha I laughed when u said it’s boiling hot, I guess every1 had the same experience at their first try in tagoyaki
Uni-gunkan is also one of my most fav sushi~ it’s a must-eat menu everytime I go to kaiten-sushi restaurant
