Quick Dinner at Cookai
Had an awful day at work. The highlight of the day prior to dinner were the half price chicken nuggets from McDonalds I snuck out to get. They probably weren't that great but in regards to everything that had happened it was amazing.
Sushi/Sashimi Platter and Sashimi with Sauce etc?
Tofu Salad, Fried Rice, Soft Shell Crab and Tempura Sushi
Assorted Tempura, Sashimi and Yakitori
Cookai used to be my favourite Japanese restaurant before I discovered Kinji and Tatsumi. Due to a slight addiction and possibly love for the latter two, it was almost a betrayal if I went elsewhere unless it was a new or unchartered eatery. Tatsumi as I've mentioned is gone and technically in a new location it can be classified as new so no betrayal was made tonight!
I would go back. I wasn't blown away, Jack made a few complaints about some of the dishes *fried rice, weird sauce sashimi, softshell crab* but it wasn't too bad. Their yakitori was good, the barbecue smell that wafted outside was devine. Apparently they are in the process of hiring a proper sushi person so I will look forward to that. They get brownie points for having more than two types of raw fish in their sashimi platter though!
Hello Kitty road trip!
Work has been über busy and stressful (I've decided to get back into my German as a "hobby", thus the über). Jack is pretty much in the same situation with his studies and job hunting. I wish we could just leave everything behind and go on a long long holiday with no worries. Even a little road trip would be nice right now but sigh, so many responsibilities. One day...

Strawberry Fare
The lesson for the day is to not hold the object you are trying to slice... and if the knife can cut through
meat, it's very likely that it is sharp enough to cut through the meat on your finger. Actually, the first lesson I learnt when I was young and had a knife stuck in the palm of my hand when my brother refused to cut an apple for me. I remember running around screaming and him ignoring me, but as I recall, there was a significant lack of blood,which is probably why I hadn't really learnt my lesson... until now. Or at least I hope... is it good to bleed so much before the Chinese New Year?

Hello Kitty handbag holder from Strapya World
I had a lovely dinner at Strawberry Fare the other night. Got to use my Hello Kitty handbag holder for the first time too, so cute. The only problem was with my handbag itself having such a long shoulder strap, so basically it was still sitting on the floor entirely defeating the whole purpose of a handbag holder. Nevertheless, I thought I was awesome and that rolling of the eyes thing Jack does, it must be some kind of eye disorder.
Mushroom Risotto
Beef Fillet on Truffled Potato Mash
I normally find it a rip off to go to a restaurant and pay so much for a dish made mostly of rice... but I have a thing for mushroom risottos, we go way back. Luckily it was good. Not as good as Jack's main though. I found myself scraping his mash every few seconds and boy was his beef fillet tender. I kind of felt bad for eating so much of his meal, but not really, I was just a bit annoyed that I was almost full and there was no way I was going to not eat dessert. You don't go to Strawberry Fare and not eat dessert. That's just insulting!
Dessert!
For dessert I got my favourite warm raspberry drenched chocolate cake. Three out of four times I come here I order that. Boring, but I can't help it. Jack ordered the tasting plate which was all part of my secret plan because I was going to eat bits (understatement) of his... unfortunately I had to order an ice chocolate as well so by the end of the meal I was happy but also in a lot of pain...why does milk not like me when I like it's creations so much? sigh

Hello Kitty
Do I really need it?
It's Hello Kitty?! and Sushi?! Two of my favourite things in one! What more can I ask for?!
Irashaimase!
Even the sushi is Hello Kitty?!
The detail is amazing! I want to eat them! If I were a child I would so get away with it too...
I don't really have anywhere to put it as yet, but it is amazing to look at. If I weren't "too old" I would be playing Hello Kitty sushi chef right now but no...
Baby, I needed these because our children will want to play Hello Kitty sushi chef one day (I don't care if I have to make them!)... and being the awesome future parent that I am, I am well prepared!
400 Yen a box. Buy 6 to play your own Hello Kitty sushi chef @ Strapya World!
