Nara Japanese Restaurant

This is the day that changed my life. Ok it just converted me into the sashimi lover that I am.

Armed with the $100 voucher that i won from ***(that seemed like such a long time ago), my dining partner and I trooped down on saturday for lunch. Ordering, we didnt even bother to look at the prices, Pretty much got whatever we thought looked good.

Salad-just veges with the wasabe soya sauce dressing Sashimi-a mix of 7 different fishes Unagi Agedashi Tofu-didnt really enjoy it actually. gravy was abit too thick and like cg mentioned in her review starchy Chutoro Sushi-omg when i tasted it i was like wahlau. the chutoro totally melted in my mouth. i was totally savouring each and every bite.yummy Soft shell crab tempura-nice. my favourite Teriyaki Salmon-Nice Grilled lamb chop-love love love the fats. yummy Yakitori

I loved all the items we ordered. Left feeling full and very very satisfied. After the voucher it cost only 50 So very oh so worth it. At that time i did mention i wouldnt return as i definitely wont be able to afford the high prices. But i did return a few nights ago but this experience was a totally different one.

This time another fren had a 15% cupon so himself, another fren and i had dinner on friday nite.

Items ordered Sashimi - taken care of by our cupon provider(thanks man)..salmon and swordfish was alright. tuna looked scary but i didnt try it and i actually liked the octopus. Pidan Tofu- Never really tried century egg before but to me the tofu was well tofu cant really gauge that Gindara Nabe- Liked the soup and the fish was not bad either. Nice to drink the hot soup in that quite chilly environment California Maki-didnt try it but from what i gathered it wasnt anything special Special Maki-i did not notice the wasabe mayo and luckily i did not eat it with wasabe. Was having a wasabe freeze for a moment. but i did like it actually. especially the inner layer which seemed like it was breaded and fried Mix Tempura and Eel Tempura-didnt really enjoy it that much. Just lacked a certain something. I actually preferred the eel tempura i ate at Hanabi and Mix tempura from Kuishin Bo(mayb i just have weird tastebuds) Yakitori-normal Hatsu(grilled chicken heart)-not bad actually Pork belly asparagus-didnt try this

I definitely enjoyed having dinner with my 2 buddies after not meeting up for quite some time. But the food was not really that fantastic. Maybe its just not my day or something. But well that being said, I wont be back. There are plenty of other Jap places im dying to try out..
