I'm not sure what it is about sitting for two and a half hours during a taping of The Hour, but I'm always hungry for sushi and miso soup right afterward, so I decided it was time to go to Sushi Villa and try out the Queen Roll.
Their Queen Roll consists of tempura yam and salmon and after snacking on six pieces last night... it's not half bad. It's not too sweet, which was something I had wondered about with the sweetest potato being a major part of the mix.
It is one of those creations that you need to have a certain craving for in order for it to hit that spot; definitely not one that I would be inclined to order *every-single-time*, but I know there will come a time in the future that I'll want this one again.
And things just got a little more curious last night. I didn't think I went to Sushi Villa too often, but one of their chefs said, "Ah! It's good to see you again!" when I went to the back to pay for my take-out.
Either I've visited enough times to be recognized, or I look like someone they know. Hmm... I also somehow landed a 10% discount for my order, so I'm not complaining. XD
I was also shocked to realise that for the numerous occasions that I've frequented this restaurant (enough apparently for recognition from the chef *facepalm*), I had never tried their una-ju before. This was disconcerting, because unagi in any form is my favourite dish. Meg Ryan still didn't make an appearance last night, when I finally corrected this erroneous mistake, but I'd have to say that their una-ju is probably one of the better versions of this dish I've tried. It was definitely a bigger proportion of not only the rice, but the unagi itself, than I've ever received before.
