Strawberry milk La Casquette style. Some kind of huge grapefruit terrine and mango sorbet.
イチゴミルク、ラ・カスケット風。晩白柚のテリーヌとマンゴーのシャーベット。
Huge portion simple bistro food with full dinner course only about 4000yen and house wine ~700yen per glass. Very cheap! The quail was not bad, I have had better though not as cheap as this place. My friend’s cous cous and lamb chop came with an impossibly massive family-size bowl of vegetable soup with chunks of vegetables and more lamb and sausages inside, she couldn’t even finish one-third of it and I ended up helping her and stuffed with a bursting stomach. The waitor recommended “strawberry milk” to us for desserts and we were rather skeptical but ordered it anyway, turned out to be a slice of frozen strawberry with ice-cream underneath and the waitor poured hot milk onto it; quite a big pretentious fuss but it tasted good. ^^;; The atmosphere was not exactly that friendly….actually quite gloomy, but the waitor was certainly polite and helpful. Other tables’ food looked really good…don’t mind going back again and try other menu.
La Casquette
特上天丼、１８００円。Tempura rice bowl. Good but a bit greasy and felt a bit ill afterwards.
天寿々
ズワイガニの和風サラダ。Crab salad.
鹿児島産の黒豚の角煮。オムレツ風たこ焼き。
Fatty pork and omelette-style tako-yaki. The pork is good but has a little too much fat….even for me(^^;;). The tako-yaki just tastes like those normal ball-shape tako-yaki but in a pancake form and doesn’t have much octopus inside…This place is owned by the famous sumo guy Konishiki, who is originally from Hawai. The restaurant is divided into two parts, Japanese and Hawaiian. We went to the Japanese side, where they serve chanko hotpot which is a typical food for sumo-san. Most customers ordered the hotpot…maybe we should have too. The other part of the restaurant serves Hawaiian food, including some jumbo huge size hamburger and steak. My friend whom I went with, sort of chickened out after seeing the scary menu on the Hawaiian side so we went to the Japanese side. ^^;;
あんばらんす
アンチョビクロワッサン。スープにつくラスク。
Anchovy croissant. Rusk that goes with the soup.
名前は適当に。カキの野菜スープ。鶏のロースト、アサリとキャベツ。
Oyster vegetable soup. Not as good as it looks. Roasted chicken with clams and cabbage. Not bad but very very SALTY!!! Had to keep eating bread and drinking water, would have been better if I had ordered wine though. The clams had too much sand….
Strawberry tart is super yummy~! My favourite part of the course. We chose the cheapest lunch course, including soup, main dish, dessert, fruits and chocolate and coffee, and it was about 4000yen. Even though we didn’t have appetizers, we were really stuffed at the end cos the portion was so huge. Wouldn’t mind going back and ordering from the a la carte menu which is more appealing…if I ever crave super salty food.
