| - This place is hidden inside the village by the grange foodcourt, we almost couldn't find it!
We arrived late on Friday night, and the food court was closed. This little restaurant was in the corner, still bustling with business.
The place was very cozy and homey. They are probably a family-run business, and the patrons were mostly students.
We ordered the wasabi octopus and fried tofu for starters -- these were both very good! The wasabi octopus was a bit sweet and had a kick! The fried tofu was nice and crispy, with peas inside.
We also got the natto curry and tsukimi udon. I'd never had natto (fermented beans) before, but i've always been curious since japanese cartoons usually show them as these sticky beans that kids hate.. Well, it's definitely an acquired taste.. and i have yet to acquire them. It was very strong, but mixed with the curry rice, it was okay for me. The broth of the tsukimi udon was a bit bland for me, but i think it's meant to be that way. The udon were thick and chewy.. really good!
Overall, i'd definitely come back to try more stuff. I like that it's in a tiny little hidden spot and the service was good! Can't wait to come and try more things!
