KIT-IJST '10 6th Week [Food Rulez!]

Tuesday, July 13, 2010

After class, we went to Strawberry Café again! This time, it’s not an all-girl trip anymore. John, Taylor, Rohit, and James joined me, Diya, Sam, Sarah, Tiana, and Jackie. Now it’s the hungry dudes+dudettes dinner trip! As usual, 15min walk and there we were. The restaurant was quite full when we arrived, but the waiters managed to combine 3 tables together to fit us 10 ppl.

The 1^st time, I had veggie pizza and matchan waffles. This time, I ordered banana chocolate waffles, and omurice (omelet fried rice – more like pattaya but different taste). Urmmm, honestly, I so much prefer nasi pattaya laa. Waffles kat kedai ni sgt sedap ok! Since we’re 10-ppl group, we had to wait diligently for each meal. I literally stared at each waffle in the making, in case it’s mine. Seriously, drooling giler tgk diorg buat…. yummmmmm…..

The overall dinner time was really havoc – in a good way. We had a good time bonding together. Eventhough tak dapat share food (macam makan dgn Malaysians lain), I could tell each of us was enjoying the food and gibberish talk once in a while J

In one of JST classes, we watched a video of a Japanese variety show introducing Kanazawa and its specialties. There’s this 1 sushi shop famous with a special dish, white fat tuna. Very oishii, very expensive. Dgr kata sepinggan 2 slices kat Tokyo boleh cecah 10dolar! So, alkisahnya, we went to the same sushi shop right after class ended for the day. I was really excited! Sam, Jackie, Tiana, and Sarah had been there once; Sam did show me pictures of the piling sushi plates, she got 5 plates, Tiana got 6!

The restaurant was half full. We got 2 tables at the far back. Then we started eyeing delicious plates on the conveyor belt. I think Sam was the 1^st at our table to grab a plate. She’s really a fast eater. I got my eyes on a salmon sushi with tomato and cheese on top. Certainly, it’s amazinggggg! Diya liked a tuna sushi or something, I forgot its name. By the way, I didn’t see the expensive white fat tuna rolling around, customers need to ask from the chef. Very the special eyh? Sarah bought it, and she told me, “it’s AweSoMeeeee!” I forgot to snap a pic of the dish, it was served on a golden-colored plate, priced ¥890. My sushi plates ranged only from ¥250 - ¥470, xde duit to afford more than that, but the overall bill I had to pay was quite high considering the amount of plates :p

my piling plates - 4 jahh

we went to Baskin Robbins again, i got the awesome Triple Shots! ngaaaa~

A week from today would be the closing ceremony of KIT-IJST 2010. OMG, how times flies….

Anyway, It’s an entry about Food again! Japanese food rulez! The others had discovered Tonkun, an awesome restaurant near Nishikawa Heights. I saw it once (when we’re walking in the rain during the long weekend) but it was closed that day. John, Sam, Sarah, me and Diya went there together, but it would be opened only after 3pm! Terpaksalah menunggu menonggeng kat depan anonymous shop across the street. Bila masuk jer, there’re actually customers inside! I dunno why it was closed earlier *geleng2 kepala*. Anyway, we sat down and analyzed the menu. Ada a pink pig as 'mascot' on the menu, very cute though, haha. The restaurant itself is small, maximum limit should be no more than 25 ppl. The other 3 ordered tonkatsu and some meaty dishes. I asked for a salmon with rice since it’s cheaper than other fish meals and I do LOVE salmon. Same goes for Diya. It came out to be too good to be true! Whenever I see the picture, I could still feel the crispiness and lemony taste of the salmon lingered on my tongue……….nak pegi lagi!!! (>.<)
