Ok, so one fine Sunday afternoon,
my mother took me to this Japanese Restaurant called Guppy by ai and the moment
I came to know its Japanese food, it almost pissed me off. I would have been
happy sitting at home having a Mc Donalds, but here I was with my mom and no
choice to but sit and see what was in store.
It was a sit-down brunch and we
didn't need to order anything in particular, they were just serving one thing
after the other and I was merely watching.
It started with some soups, which
I didn't have. It was then followed by cold appetisers, which again I didn't
even eye.
But then came this small sweet
cute looking mini burger, and only looking at it made my mouth water. I was
little apprehensive about asking my mom that I wanted to have it, because till
now I had been making all sorts of faces while she was enjoying the food, but
now I felt different. But I kind of held on and waited for the next item.
The next was a Tempura Fish, it
was a crispy fried fish, but I basically don't like fish much
so didn't try that too.
There were baby corns too, fried
in the same way, but I gave them a miss as well.
Next was the grill section, and
had options of grilled chicken, tofu, sweet potato and fish. My mom put a piece
of grilled chicken on her plate, and this time I could not hold the urge to try
it out but still was a little shy.
But being a mom, she just looked
at me and knew that I wanted to try that chicken out, and she gave me one. It
tasted just out of this world and I had a little more of it. It was almost
like eating a very different and tasty kind of chicken seekh kabab.
This chicken gave me confidence
in Japanese food and now I was ready to try other things too.
My mom insisted that I should try
that little burger and inside I felt very happy, that she knew exactly what I
wanted. It was called the CHICKEN SHUMAI STEAMED BUN, and this cute little
thing, tasted as good as it looked.
They had options in PORK and
MUSHROOM fillings as well in the steam bun, but I was content with my chicken
bun and ended up polishing away 3 of them. My mom was literally laughing at me,
knowing that I always first refuse to try things and then later, end up hogging
them.
There was some chicken
pizza pancake as well, I did try that, and it tasted good, but it was
loaded with vegetables and I am little choosy you know, so I had to let that
go.
Now it was time for the main
course, and it had Chicken Casserole, Chicken Noodles and Garlic Rice, and
all three of them tasted very good and I had a plateful of it. Now Japanese
food seemed quite like a decent option for lunch and my views were changed.
But the best thing was the
dessert platter. It was just too too good. It has a choco-lava cake, a
chocolate fondue( this was the best I had eaten, and again had two of them),
Vanilla Ice-Cream which didn't taste anything like the regular ice-cream,
it was much creamier and better tasting, and their were fruits too. But after
having all good things, I gave fruits a miss.
I was very very content with what I had and extremely happy that my mom took me out for such an unusual food experience.
Do give it a try; I am sure you guys will love it.
