| - Lesson learnt : "Sauces do make all the difference!"
And before anything, I'd like to give a shoutout to Veronica and Jo. You guys stupendously rocked! Thank you once again for your delightful company. You have to know that I was stuffed to much contentment, I should probably feel guilty about it. This couple, my fellow yelpers, are buddies from school I've gotten to know better over the months and setting aside any possible bias I have for them, I gotta admit (and you will too if you come here) that Jo is quite the chef!
The night began on a more exotic note: Hawaiian Spicy Edamame, followed by one order of the spider rolls and another of the shrimp tempura rolls. Both were of decent sizes, enough to fill your stomach up halfway. I especially admired that little touch of mango on the spider roll.
And everything only crescendo'd from there. We then had the Calamari with Jalapeno Salt which was 'succulent' - a word I would never have seen myself associate calamari with, fyi - and that's a compliment, because the sauce/topping that was sprinkled on top of each calamari gave it a vinegary taste, a unique alternative to the usual tartar sauce. There was also the mixed seafood with apple vinaigrette although I must swiftly move on to pinpoint the highlight of the night - the Chocolate Souffle with green tea ice-cream. All concerns regarding weight loss and a possible diet regime disappeared as soon as it got to our table, I tell ya! I probably don't even have to go on and speak in awe of this dessert for you to know that Veronica and I loved it to tidbits!
Will definitely keep this restaurant on my list of go-back-tos. It had a cozy atmosphere, dimly lit with candles, perfect for long talks or a cute date night. The staff was very friendly (props to you Kayla) and I couldn't quite forget the lightning tearing up the sky in the background that night - all while we were talking about ghost stories too!
Fancy that.
