The full guide
Starter - Oroshi - white radish or daikon that was grated and served cold as an appetizer to kick start the digestive system.
Pickels to make you eat more refillable rice
Raw shredded cabbage to balance the oily taste
Mix your own sauce using rock salt, sweet sauce or spicy sauce or both sweet and spicy sauce together.
Grind your own roasted sesame seeds into the sauce or sprinkle them on your rice or pork fillet for extra fragrance.
Finished off with hot Japanese roasted barley tea on the house.
This is a very flavourful miso soup
This dark miso sauce is similar to yong tau fu brown sauce but with a deeper fragrance. Enjoy!
Nice, but I'm pretty sure I will ignore it when I eventually eat there. Jap food only ma, just order and then wallop the food la XD
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind it is ok.
DeleteI saw this on Facebook, didn't bother to take note. Don't even know the name, what tongkat su...me so jakun one. Not sure if we have that here. If we ever get to eat this, I'll just ask my girl - she'll know what to do, young people. Hehehehehhe!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes she would know what to do and show you.
DeleteGood sharing, you are right.. I think (most) people will just skip it and pounce on the food, haha.. Unless waiting for food, got some time, then ok, can read (that's if they are not bz playing with their hp or checking out their FB/blog), hehe..
ReplyDeleteThanks. Hungry will definitely skip it.
DeleteThat's interesting, comes with instructions! I think I would have skipped that too until later hah..hah...
ReplyDeleteI will read the instructions if they are there.. cos I don't want to bikin malu, haha.. bikin malu never mind, but if did something offensive to their culture, even though unintentional, then would be so not nice!!
DeletePhong Hong Yes most would eat first read later or not at all.
DeleteTrue, not nice if did some offensive actions unknowingly.
Deleteah interesting, now with that guide teaching us novice Japanese food eater, there will be no embarrassing moments, agree??
ReplyDeleteeg: like what I thought about that oroshi as dipping for the tonkatsu.. so I was wrong!! ooopsss, that's actually more of tempura yeah?? now I remember we were given sauce for the katsu itself, thicker and more gluey ones, not those tempura type, hehe!!
