[[Sunday Lunch @ Robataya Yoyogi]]


I have been fascinated by this Japanese grilled restaurant whenever I walk by Robertson Quay. The one thing that caught my attention is that they serve their grilled items on a huge paddle if you are sitting at the counter seat. It's a pity they are too quick so I couldnt take a proper photo of that.

The chefs are all japanese and they attempt to speak japanese to you as they serve you. But I dont really understand what they are saying with the exception of "dozo". grins

Anyway, it's a real delight to have the lunch set there- I ordered the Saba Shioyaki set which is a salted grilled mackerel and other side dishes- salad, vegetable roll and miso soup.

And because I'm a big fan of unagi, we ordered it ala carte. I can't describe how good the grilled unagi taste. It's unlike others because it is grilled right under the charcoal fire so it is bursting of flavour and I love the burnt edges of it. I think I ate about half of the unagi on top of my meal!

Dessert was a scoop of yuzu ice cream- this ice cream is made from orange peel and its citrusy and zesty flavour was a good ending to a heavy meal.

I'll definitely be back again if I'm craving for grilled japanese food!
