Asian Experience

As the sushi rave continues with its ever-expanding availability. Practically almost everywhere has a sushi menu or ready-made and I love it... According to my peoples, “I have a thing for Asian” and it is true, guilty as charged. It all started in my teenage days with my exposure to anime where I met Ramen.

(Yes, I watch anime)

For those who disappointingly do not know what ramen is (shakes head), Google it! Just kidding, it is a Japanese soup dish: noodles served in meat or fish broth with vegetables, meat, eggs and other combinations.

 For me it was what we refer to in the Caribbean as pack soup and the one in the cup, well cup soup lol. My all time favorite brand is Nissin. From there I was on an Asian spiral, from Japanese to Chinese, Korean etc. The food, manga, clothes even the dramas and not limited to those.

(Tehee. wink wink)

A couple Fridays ago, I had an Asian experience break through.

(Dun-dun-duun)

Kaizan Menu Cover

I had Sake for the first time and it was awesome. For this, I thank the temptation of Kaizan Sushi’s October Specials, the greediness of my stomach and Janelle for going through the same predicament.

(Great stomachs think alike)

Seated and briefed as to how the specials go although we already knew but who doesn’t like attention and the contents of the rolls. Our order proceeded as follows:

•   The October Combo 2-Rolls Special – Mango Tango Roll & Maguro Special
•   Hiyashi Wakame
•  Plum Sake served cold

The rolls tasted as good as they looked

As we’ve been eating whole evening ‘twas a light dinner.

Ever since Kaizan opened their doors I was set on going there, I mean what sushi eater does not sampling but it has taken me so long to get there. The number of friends I have who are partakers is abysmal. Sushi company is hard to come by. Adding to that I am yet to eat the raw stuff, Sashimi; hopefully it is in near future. (Fighting)

Hiyashi Wakame

Wakame Seaweed Salad

Maguro Special

Tuna, avocado, cream cheese and sesame seeds

Mango Tango Roll

Spicy tuna, tempura flakes, mango, cucumber, tobiko, ginger and red pepper

Plum Sake

What else should I say to express how good the food was besides it tasted as good as it looked? Sometimes good is all you need. Good food, good company, good service makes a great experience.

Besides, a picture is worth a thousand words. 

A dope Friday night led me to sushi instead of clubbing, no surprise there money well spent.
