Day 274: Yokozuna

20 August, 2010

Today the hubby, a friend and I tried out a new restaurant. We were rushing to watch the Hindi film Lafangey Parindey and were looking for a place where the meal would come pretty quick. But for some reason every restaurant seemed overflowing with customers and we could only find a table at this Japanese restaurant called Yokozuna.

The interiors of the place were typically Japanese - wooden seating that requires you to pretty much swing your legs over and get into the hollow space under the tables. They also had an interesting aquarium which creatures in it that looked like green and red locusts!

I don't mind Japanese food but am indeed a bit apprehensive when trying out anything new there because you really don't what's inside. So we asked the chef to recommend, upon which we ordered their signature Salmon Roll, Black California Roll, Japanese Chicken Curry and the ever safe Tamago (sweet egg) Sushi. And the food was really really yum!

After a very satisfactory meal at an unexpected place, we watched Lafangey Parindey which was quite nice also followed by some fun conversation with two of the friends over extra hot Starbucks Chai Tea Latte.

So there, an ordinary Friday made special by some extraordinary food, a good movie and fun conversation!

726 more to go.
