After a bumpy start for year 2012, I decided to just focus on the goods and enjoy each weekend as it comes with a celebration...
...Dine Out comes just in time for us to enjoy food (hubby's favorite pastime) with an Asian twist.
Bistro Sakana was our Dine Out choice this week :)
Ratings online were good although the place was not so good with finding parking, we drive all the way with Kimi in tow for a Friday night out (A rare night to go out- Yey!)
The place was small but we were seated immediately because of a reservation I made weeks before
* Dine Out Menu
When I read the reviews for this restaurant, the rave about the selection of wines are pouring but then, I don't drink much so this doesn't apply to me...
* Sake as backdrop
We decided to get Kimi a Mini Sukiyaki Hotpot plus rice... Everything was really good but my only complaint is that all the food required a long wait that is not within reasonable time.
* Yummy Sukiyaki
Hubby decided on the real appetizer while the rest of us settled on soups.
