then we ordered one of the "chef's recommendations": daikon gyozas, which were actually quite tasty. and beautiful.
and then of course, ramen
we also ordered a cold noodle, and of course, the main player of this post, the Riceballs -
so these riceballs were in fact part of a set, they were supposed to be the side dish of a tomato beef soup. but since we really just wanted the riceballs, we asked the server if we could ONLY get the riceballs without the soup. he said no. BUT get this, on the menu, the picture of this item was a bowl of the tomato beef soup with ONE riceball floating on top of it, and then on the side of the soup bowl, was a separate little plate with 2 riceballs. so we asked if we'll actually get 3 riceballs, and the server said, yes. then we proceeded to ask if it's possible to have all 3 riceballs on the side, and the server replied, "no. we can't do that". my sis, my bro-in-law, and myself all gasped in unison, and asked, "why?" so the server kindly went to ask the chef, and he came back, smiling embarrassingly, and said, "yes, we can do that."
I MEEEEAAAAN.... wtf!? that was only ONE of the many no's we got, and they messed up our orders. however, i've decided not to vent anymore, because in terms of food, it was not bad :D and it was a nice day, delightful lunch with my sis and bro-in-law!!

Despite the lame server, i LOVE the dishware that they used. OK maybe not the darkie part. But the shape is really modern & feels appropriate to ramen.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you finally got the onigiri. At least the chef understands onigiri cravings :D There's absolutely nothing like a good rice ball...
