This is what happened when procrastination becomes my best friend. I got tons of food photos in my hardisk drive that I’ve been taking since a few months ago (even a few years ago) yet they had never been published. Worse, I can’t even remember the dish name so it is a bit difficult to blog about them.

Anyway, who cares? I should just blog them right away here.

Up right there is the half-cooked salmon sushi that I ate with my cousins last month at Ichiban Sushi. In case if you wonder, ichiban means number one by the way. If you think rice and salmon are supposed to be served raw, no worries cause their raw brothers are coming up next.

Here they are the raw version of the sushi hmm.. I really have no idea what this dish is called. Probably mentai sushi? But the one that is called mentai supposed to be served with mayonnaise and tasted different. Yes, whatever. This is not a review though.

Anyway, raw or half-cooked which one is your favorite sushi? Will you swallow a raw fish down your throat?

While we’re waiting for the chef preparing the other menu, here I snapped away the restaurant interior. Pretty cozy with Japanese tables and pillow seats. However at that time we chose to sit on the chairs with usual dining table.

And the next dish to show themselves on our table was this sushi rolls with cooked eels (unagi) on the top of them. If this was served to me five years ago I probably already threw them to the trash can but everything changes now. Unagi are good and the taste is not as gross as they seem. Especially if they were combined with the savoury Japanese ketchup. Hmmmm…

A trooper of California rolls came next. Until now I’m still wondering why they’re called Californian. I probably found the answer on Google or maybe I should give it as a homework for you any reader of this blog. Find the answer and post on the comment section. Win nothing.

When I thought that the lunch was over, this fried udon with slices of crispy golden chicken katsu appeared on our table. Turned out that my cousin ordered this meal on the last minute. It supposed to be a personal dish but since she was full, she decided to share. Fried udon tasted pretty good but I don’t really like udon, I think udon is too thick and chewy for my liking especially while I always adore thin smooth noodles.
