| - The fiancé was getting a haircut nearby, after we decided to check out what was behind those huge iron fortress looking doors ~
We came on a saturday afternoon, around lunch time. It was busy but we got lucky a table just cleared up for us. Their menu had a lot of choices, but not so much where you feel overwhelmed. This was a tapas styled bar, had a lot of appetizers, but we wanted to try their udon dishes instead.
{Corn Kaki-age}
So for the first appetizer we ordered the corn kaki-age because I LOVE CORN ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. I expected it to be sorta just like the mayo and baked cheese on top kinda corn. But it came out in 5 "fried corn cheese balls". It also had a light sweet mayo dipping sauce. When we bit into it....oh my gawjjjjjj IT WAS DELICIOUS! I felt like they added cheese to hold it altogether. And that was GENIUS CAUSE IT WAS ALL SO GOOD. A little bit crunchy from the fried cheese, light creamy mayo taste that complimented the corn x 1000000! To be honest I would be happy to just eat 3 orders of this fried corn cheese ball dish!! Highly recommend this to everyone that loves corn and cheese!!
{Spicy Salmon Tartare}
Was gonna order the takowasa like usual, but was feeling adventurous and wanted to try more tartare (like my Nome tartare experiance )! So I ordered the spicy salmon tartare. This dish came with deep fried wonton skin chips. The flavour was phenominal! This looks like a simple salmon tartare dish with crushed black peppers and habanero oil, but the flavours are rich and complexed. The habanero oil they used really brought out the salmon! I was surprised that they didn't use sriracha and mayo, which is what I'm used to. But mixed the salmon in habanero oil and adding the mayo on top for you to mix. I loved the aroma of the habanero oil, it really compliments the salmon. The only thing I didn't like was that the salmon cubes were a bit too big. It was weird to eat giant cubes of salmon on such a small triangle of wonton skins. Nevertheless it was a refreshing dish to our creamy udon dishes!
{Salmon Cream Sauce Udon}
We both wanted to try the cream sauce udon, so he chose to order the salmon cream sauce udon. When the dish arrived it was interesting seeing the tomato oil on top! I've never seen tomato oil before The salmon was cooked PERFECTLY! We both were so impressed, it was tender, and very rich with umami flavours. It tasted like it was cooked with garlic which we LOVED. The udon was cooked just right for us. We like it not too hard but just soft enough where it has texture when you bite down When you mixed everything together, the crazy umami flavours from the garlic salmon, the tomato oil, and the cream sauce oh my gawwwwwj! It's delicious! Not too rich either which was very surprising, because of the amount of cream sauce in the dish. But of course if you decide to finish all the cream...that would be a bit too creamy then. Very impressed with our first udon choice!
{Mentaiko Cream Sauce Udon}
I saw a post of a fellow foodie with the mentaiko cream sauce udon dish and I had to try it! The mentaiko came on top of a shisho leaf with chopped green onions. I know was meant to be mixed together but it was so pretty. Took me a little while before mixing everything together.... The flavour of this pasta dish was also phenomenal! Although the mentaiko flavour is not really strong due to the amount of cream, but the spicy tomato oil still added a lot of rich umami flavours (and look at that gorgeous colour it adds to the dish!!). I would still prefer more of the spicy mentaiko flavour though. Like the other cream sauce udon, this was also complexed in flavour! I still enjoyed this dish very much! The udon noodle itself was also cooked perfectly to our liking. We were very very impressed with this cream sauce udon as well! We were happy we finally got to try out this place for lunch time. Next time I would like to try out their sukiyaki dish!
