It's been a while since I had dinner outside. Maybe it wasn't that long ago, I don't remember, but dinner usually means missing my last bus back from city, which is at 7:30, and it means taking a train back to Pennant Hills station and then catching a bus... such a hassle just to stay out late.

But during one Saturday when my parents were away at Beijing, I had to drive myself to work at 6:30am, so decided that dinner will be nice, since I can just train to Penno and drive home without waiting possibly half an hour at the station for the bus home.

I had a mocktail! Musashi Blue, it's called. Lychee, some blue stuff.... I dunno... wait wait, here it is on the website: Musashi Blue- Blue Syrup/ Lychee Sytup/ Grapefruit Juice/ Soda... yea "blue syrup", I wasn't that far off =P

The real stuff- cocktail, also blue, but under a different name.

Their sushi is really different from the stuff you get at sushi trains or buffets =( this is where quality for price really stands out. Going to a Japanese restaurant for sushi is such a difference.

I've almost forgotten what real sushi tasted like. Apparently, experienced sushi makers will knead each rice ball to an exact number of grains of rice. They can just feel how many grains they should pick up for each ball.

I'm still not a fan of raw oysters, though I love panko oysters (deep fried, of course I love it, haha) and steamed oyster.

It's that time of the year, that season for hotpot/ nabe/ steamboats/ shabu shabu. Nabe pot! This inspired me to make my own hotpot at home. More on that next time. This was Musashi's Nabeyaki Udon: Sukiyaki beef, fish cake, tempura prawn, mushrooms, bean curd, green vegetables, egg and udon noodle, served with soy and mirin base brose, cooked in a clay pot).

I can't wait for more sessions of hotpots (and I don't know what the difference is between hot pot and steamboat) and nabe! Late autumn/ early winter are definitely my favourite times of the year. And I've missed out on them for 12 years of my life being in a country without seasons, so it's time to enjoy them now!
