Sugimoto, Desa Sri Hartamas

Dad loves Japanese food so off we went in search of sashimi (yet again, heh). We decided on Sugimoto; arrived at about 7:30 p.m. and ended up being seated next to a huge family with small children who spent the whole evening running around and screaming. It was awful, and I was quite glad to see them finish up their meal and leave. At least we got to eat the rest of our meal in peace.

As usual, Dad ordered a sashimi set (actually come to think of it, he orders the SAME thing every time) :D

I had a dinner set that came with a bowl of sushi rice topped with all things salmon, and another bowl of Nabeyaki Udon. Sounds a lot for one person? Yah it was- carbo overload, man!! But at least I dished out quite a bit of the udon to share with everyone else..

Had to eat the udon first, while the soup was still hot. Now I've never been a fan of udon (prefer cold soba eaten with the dipping sauce), but this was actually quite nice. A poached egg that bursts into soup really does wonders for me, heh.

We ordered some starters to share, but they ended up arriving after our individual main courses -_-

The prices for the rolls seemed a little lower than those charged by other Japanese restaurants in the area, but when they arrived, I thought the rolls looked a little smaller- I suppose that's why!

Check out the Vigra Roll (I kid you not- that's what the menu says. Maybe they meant it to say something else?? :p ) With unagi, salmon skin and tempura bits inside; and avocado slices on top- this was delicious!! There was a nice balance between the soft unagi and the crunchy salmon skin. Everyone gave it the thumbs up :D

Also ordered a Rainbow Roll- doesn't it look so lovely and yummy?

Overall- a wonderfully satisfying meal!! :D

mmm, suggestion, i know where sugimoto is, but for those who don't you should leave the address of the restaurants that you blog about so that we can go find and try!

Anyway, it's a good suggestion nevertheless- will remember to get the addresses next time :)

this is the kind of kid behaviour that seriously scares me off having them myself. i think if they were mine, they'd be smacked silly. so much for child rights. heh.
