Fragrant garlic fried rice- I love garlic and the garlic makes the fried rice so fragrant

On my dad's actual birthday, we headed to Inagiku, Swisshotel for lunch. Inagiku is renowned for its teppanyaki and sashimi. My dad and I ordered our favourite premium sushi set while my mum, being a conservative eater opted for the teppanyaki wagyu beef(Japanese marbled beef)that was served with garlic fried rice.

This time I had the chawanmushi (Japanesesteamed custard egg). My friends would know that I'm never a big lover of eggs or chawanmushi. But being in the office left me feeling cold perpetually, so I decided to go for something warm. The chawanmushi at Inagiku surprised me- I love its stock base and unlike many places that overcook the chawanmushi, the one I had was wobbly and silky soft. Perfect!

I felt that the wasabi that they used in their sushi was a little too powerful for me. I could feel it rushing up my nose and then head. But I love the o-toro (tuna belly) and uni.

I also picked at my mum's food. Wagyu beef was drool-worthy. Its flavour was delicate and it did not disrupt the way it melts in your mouth. I also greatly appreciated the finely-sliced garlic that were served on the side. Crunchy, bursting of full flavoured goodness!

I had to rush back to work after that so I skipped the dessert. But it did bring a cheer to the rest of my day. More importantly, I was able to spend time with my dad on his birthday. Oh I just love the way that (good) food brings people together.
