Today we had lunch at a Japanese restaurant called Shokudo. Shokudo means "dining room" in Japanese. This restaurant actually combines different cuisines like Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Italian together.
We had their tofu (soy bean curd) salad. My mom says that they make their own tofu. It was dressed with fried won ton strips and nori (seaweed) and came with a goma (sesame seed) dressing for the tofu and a shoyu (soy sauce) based dressing for the greens.
Ishiyaki (stone cooked) garlic shrimp. This is kind of like America's version of shrimp scampi only served in a heated stone bowl. It was a bit oily, but still delicious.
The rainbow roll. Sushi filled with crab, avocado and lettuce then topped with different sashimi (sliced raw fish)
And garlic pork riblet. A panko (bread crumb) mixture with sliced chilies and garlic covered these riblets. Delicious. (there was also grilled herb chicken, but I forgot to photograph it!)
And to end our meal we headed to Ben & Jerry's at the Ward Center. I had their NY Super Fudge Chunk-chocolate ice cream with white and dark fudge chunks, pecan, walnuts and fudge covered almonds.Although, I wasn't able to spend V-day with Satoshi, I was happy to be able to spend it with my family.
Hope you all have a great V-day.
