Sushi anyone?

Had my very first taste of japanese food on Friday last week.

The company organized a dinner buffet at Northam Hotel, Penang. It was
RM53 per head with the company sponsoring half the payment.

Well, basically, as you know it, the main items were mostly raw.
Oysters,prawn, octopus, all lightly boiled and arranged on ice, just like
stored items in the freezer. It smelt awful especially the oysters.

I tried sushi, hated it. I tried vegetable tempayaki, managed to
swallow 3 bites, and the last 2 bites, was accompanied by the age-old vomit
suppressor, plain water =)

I tried kimichi. Only had one spoonful. Then i gave up on being
adventurous on food and tucked in all the malaysianised japanese food, like salmon
curry and all the easily identifiable stuff (Japanese egg omelet, stir
fried vege, grilled salmon, mayonise salmon, and some other stuff)

The dessert table was superb. The chocolate cakes were finger lickin
good.The homemade ice-creams with raisins, peanuts, pineapple, chocolate &
strawberry sauce was heavenly. i had two huge helpings. The chocolate
pudding, swiss rolls, green tea jelly, corn pudding with strawberries,
swiss cheese, salad, ah..i can just go on and on and i bet your stomach
is growling now.

I went for 6 rounds of 'second' helpings. And green tea to top it up.
Yum!
