Revolving sushi
November 1, 2006On Halloween night 2006, I had dinner at a revolving sushi place. If you watched Johnny English get his tie stuck in the conveyor belt, you know what I`m talking about.
Each sushi plate is Y100, with two sushis each. The choices are varied, from tuna, tuna eggs, crab fat, octopus, squid, and lots more. I had 11 plates, including soup and special tuna. The owner asked the customers to eat more than 7 plates, as anything less would be a loss for him. There`s a container for pickled ginger, but no wasabi, as it is already included with each sushi.
That`s a lot of sushi. I wonder if the sushi chefs are paid per plate, as they are in a rush to fill empty spaces in the conveyor belt.
They`re everywherrre!
Before the flight, I was telling Chompy my fears that the `kaunting-tulong-lang-po-girls` would follow me all the way to Tokyo. (The ktlp girls are the ones who approach you on the bus or in the restaurant, hand you a laminated card which says they need help for their tuition, then try to sell you some dried mangoes).
During the in-flight meal, I saw, to my horror, one of the desserts being offered.
Dried mangoes.
They`ve followed me.
