Believe
it or not, as cultured as I am I have never actually tried Sushi. It’s
not as though I’ve never been offered Sushi. It is a favourite at
several
events and most of my girlfriends often ask if we can all meet for
Sushi. Which intern routinely accept the fact that I am cringing at the
thought of “Chinese Food”.
This
is obviously a misconception, because embarrassingly enough, Sushi
originates from Japan. Haha clearly Geography isn’t my strong point.
Anyways,
recently a very dear friend and colleague of mine has been offered an
amazing job, which means that I will no longer have my Salad –loving
partner
in crime to spend lunch with. And as it seems, for the past 10 months, I
have been missing out on Sushi trains. Whilst I will hardly ever
purchase Sushi from any old place, I believe it was a great experience!
The
thing is, my religious beliefs put me in an awkward position, there
are a lot of options on the menu which I can’t eat. But I trekked
through the vegetarian
sushi menu and ordered an avocado And cucumber sushi roll. Followed by a
teriyaki chicken sushi roll I excitedly grabbed off of the swiftly
moving sushi train. And believe it or not after eating only four tiny
pieces of Sushi, (dipped in soy sauce and wasabi
of course) I was absolutely famished. I'm not sure of its because I'm
on a health kick, or because I don't eat white rice often.
Whilst
my friends were churning down their sashimi and slurping up their miso
soup, which I later learn is a really salty soup, soy based too. I think
I
will try that next time. But my all time favourite dish would have to
be the Edamame. This stuff was a winner! Edamame for those who like me
have been living under a rock is steamed soy beans, which are salty and
incredibly fresh. The fun part is rather than manually
opening them as you do with snowpeas, you force them out with your
teeth, ensuring you teeth are placed at the end of the Edamame and pull
it out of your mouth, as you pull then lovely bursts of goodness enters
your mouth. It's simple. Yet I am amazed. I clearly
need to get out more. Well out of comfort zone that is!
I
must admit that I am a bit of a tech freak, very much so a typical Gen Y
kid because I was impressed by the fact that you can order your plates
via an
iPad. Whilst they aren't geniuses, it is definitely
a cute little idea, especially because it saves me from awkwardly
asking the waitress what is in this and that because the commotion
around us including the ever revolving sushi
train and excited customers, with chop sticks clasped in their hands
was becoming a bit overwhelming. Much like that jam-packed sentence to
be honest.
Wogarella's verdict: It's got nothing on home made tabouli, but I would do it again.
Ps Please see visual evidence below visual evidence of an after meal shot. Quit judging me, I was far too excited to take pics whilst I tried each of the lovely dishes that were placed before me.
Sayonara,
