Hajime

YChing introduced me to Hajime, a Japanese restaurant in the city. It's her favourite restaurant if I'm not mistaken, mostly because of Hajime's excellent makimonos. I must say, I agree with her 100%, because under comparison the lunch set which was supposed to be the main course degraded and became the side course instead. We went there after a swim and we were so, so very famished (or was it just me?). This restaurant is actually a standalone bungalow on its own without any connection to any other building and it's situated quite off the road so you might need to find it for a while.

There's a sushi bar inside and you can sit there and watch
your sushis being made in the hands of sushi sifus.

The restaurant gave me a very cozy feel
and I felt like I could just sleep there and then.

Cute kitty.

Stickers like this decorated some of the dining tables there - unique.

Salmon Ginger Maki
Rolled with very soft buttery salmon. Need I say more?

Golden Dragon Maki
Maki with fried prawn then rolled together with
thin avocado and unagi slices on top.
It's the BEST maki I've ever tasted and
it brings a whole new definition to
the word "maki" in my dictionary.

My lunch set consist of unagi, mixed tenpura,
chawanmushi, appetizer, and rice (closewise from top left).
The chawanmushi was pretty good too.

Mixed tenpura: Two prawns, brinjal and sweet potato.

After the lunch I hang out at YChing's place and her mom invited me for dinner as well but I had to go home early as my family needed to go out that night as well =(

This is her sister's soft toy doggie. I sort of forgot its name. =P

Today is a very happy day. =D
