Japanese Dinner

Lolipot, Karen, Christian and Kathleen visited us today.  Kababalik lang namin galing Tagaytay dahil sa isa kong speaking gig.  So sabi namin, kain kami sa Shell Station.  Kasama rin namin si Carl.  Si Karen ang nag-drive =).

Habang asa kotse papuntang Shell, napagusapan namin ang mga pagkain sa PB Christmas.  Natatawa kami habang pinaguusapan ang theme next year.  Para kasing ang bilis kasi ng meeting.  Ano nga raw ba ang gagawing presentation ng 4 na groups dahil sa theme?  Pangalawa, di kaya sobrang hirap ang theme para sa pagkain?  Di kasi madali ang Spanish dish, lalo na yung authentic Spanish.  Ang mahirap sa American dish - ano bang American food ang panghandaan at Pang-pasko.  Complicated din ang Japanese at ang Katutubong PInoy Food.   So magiging Extra Challenge ata ang presentation at ang food para sa pasko na ito =)

Kumain kami sa Rai Rai Ken - OK na Japanese restaurant.  Since 7 kami - dami naming inorder, para masampolan din ang Japanese menu. 

Lola Maam had Chicken Teriyaki na OK daw
Lolipot and Karen had Gyudon, OK din daw.
Kathleen and Carl both had Tendon (Tempura Don).  Sobrang OK daw.
Christian ordered Beef Tepanyaki OK din daw.
Umorder ako ng Special Sushi.  Best ang Uni Sushi syempre for me.  Pinilit kong kumain si Carl ng Kani. nagustuhan niya.
Di nila nagustuhan ang Gyoza.  Di rin nila type ang Salmon Balls (na libre from Citibank)
OK din naman ang Agedashi Tofu

Very good Japanese meals overall.
