We were at a japanese restaurant för dinner.
At japanese restaurants, Marcus always orders sushi, and I Yakiniku (bite-sized meat). I actually miss other japanese dishes like Sukiyaki (Japanese hot pot), Teppanyaki (grilled/fried on iron plate) and Tonkatsu (breaded, deep-fried pork cutlets with a thick brown sauce).
When I was pregnant, I was actually craving - among other things - these japanese dishes, but I never found good ones in Sweden. There's good Teppanyaki at a spa hotel called Yasuragi in Nacka, but it's a bit far. We were there a few years back, but can't go back yet, not while Tuwa is small. Small kids aren't allowed there.
I wonder when I will ever get to taste good japanese dishes. Where will I find such a place in Stockholm?
Since the financial crisis of 2007-2009, I also noticed that some restaurants are serving smaller portions on simpler plates. Many of my favorite dishes do not taste as good anymore. Somehow, the chefs are saving on spices.
I used to like Hong Thai, a thai restaurant in Solna, at the corner of Framnäsbacken, the street where I used to live in my studio apartment. Their Pad thai (or phat thai, stir-fried rice noodles) used to be fantastic! Now it's mediocre. I'm not eating there again.
Anyway...Tuwa is not into Japanese dish yet. She doesn't like yakiniku and sushi. (We didn't give her raw fish, by the way. Of course!)
