Dinner @ Aoki

February 28, 2010 in Japanese by thywhaleliciousfay

The initial plan was to check out a particular European restaurant, but it was booked for an event that night. So my friend and I were left trying to think of a new place for Japanese cuisine when I suddenly recalled passing by a Japanese restaurant while having dinner at Shaw Centre the other night. So yes… With that, we were off to town. =)

And from the menu, my friend and I ordered:-

Dish #1: Baby Sea Eel with Vinegar Sauce

This was something new to me. It was a dish with many baby sea eels. (^^lll) Haha. And weirdly, there was not much taste to the baby sea eels. I just remembered them being very chewy. Or maybe I was just too engrossed chatting with my friend. Haha.

Dish #2: Fish Liver

Dish #3: White Fish with Truffle

This dish was awesome! What I did was roll a piece of the white fish with a piece of truffle, dap a bit of the sauce and put everything into my mouth. OMG! So delicious. And there were enough truffle to go with every piece of the white fish. Yum! A must try.

Dish #4: Assorted Sashimi

Dish #5: Bamboo Shoot

What’s left after finishing it

Dish #6: Flower Tempura

The bigger piece which was the flower was surprisingly tasty. I liked that it was stuffed with cheese. Haha. Oh yah, anything with melted cheese goes for me. =p

Dish #7: Grilled Kinki Fish

Dish #8: Honeydew

Overall, food was simply fresh and yummy! A button is located under the table for those sitting in the cubicles as it may be hard to get the staff’s attention since we’re blocked by a sliding screen door which is also what provided us the privacy.
