Tour de Sushi

It's Sister Day!!

This was a day in which I spent time together with fatty bear (read: my little sister). Having our quality time, I may say. The agenda are usually sort of like these: me and her, going to a place celebrating somethings (birthdays or even our failures) by doing some shops or just enjoying being window shoppers, or by watching movies on theater, by singing along at a karaoke, or by treating ourselves with some good quality of food. Just the two of us, share laughter, share our silliness, comment on people's behavior, take pictures, or even talk about some more serious things.

Though, last Saturday was different. We put a theme on our day. It was sushi. Here in Bandung, there are some sushi stalls for those low-budget sushi lovers. Just name it, Sushi Boon, Sushi Baa, Oishinbo, Sushi Alley, Sushi Kim, and Sushi Corner.

So we planned to visit those places in a day. First place to visit was Sushi Boon. It's located in front of Level factory outlet at Dago. We ordered Leviathan (unagi or eel with avocado) and gunka salmon salad. Overall it was good. But I think taste of unagi was too strong.

Second destination, Sushi Baa. Still at Dago, in front of JetSet factory outlet. I asked the waiter, which one is most ordered menu and he answered it quickly, Rock n Roll and something with salmon in it (sorry I forget its name). We ordered Rock n Roll, one of their many fushion sushi. A fried gindara roll sushi with sowed cheese on top of it. Taste great. But I kinda felt I was eating katsu instead of sushi. Well, it is fushion sushi after all.

Tour de Sushi was still going on.. Next, we visited Oishinbo. Kinda like this place. They offered a Japanese taste of sushi (I forget their real tagline, but I think it was sounded sort of like that). We ordered Yakuza (spicy salmon) and gunka wakame. The taste, I could say that it was good, I could feel the Japanese taste. But too bad, as you can see on picture below, the salmon and other ingredients was too little compared to its rice.

FYI, we planned to visit Sushi Kim (located at Progo, near Jonas Photo) and Sushi Alley (located across Post Office Riau). We skipped those two places, though. Since we unfortunately were so close to full. Yeah, I know, call us "cupu", whatever.

So, we decided to visit the last place. Sushi Corner at Grand Hotel Preanger. We ordered Baked Salmon and Salmon Sashimi (I was craving for salmon sashimi so bad). We're waiting and waiting. Then came the food. Hmm, well, I must say, the food was disappointing. From what I knew, something that is baked should be hot or at least warm and soft. But their baked salmon was cold (I think it was saved in fridge before served). About its taste, hmm, it's so-so, I even tasted it like it was a floss sushi and it was too salty. I guess the chef is getting married. And leave alone the salmon sashimi. It was too expensive (it wasn't on their menu cos it's expensive, the waiter told me) and the slices were too effingly thin.

Overall, I can say, Sushi Tei is the best I can find in town, hehee. Best quality of sushi, tastes utterly good and I think the price is worth the quality. However, I wouldn't mind to taste all those sushi mentioned above again (I'd think about it again on the last place, though).

Well, that's the end of our journey that day. Whether it was disappointing or not, I enjoyed every minute of it. Again, sister day was completely fun and silly.

Oh, by the way, me, Dad, and my sister went to Ngopi Doeloe last Sunday. You know, that so called happening coffee shop in town. Apparently, they serve sushi nowadays. I tasted, I ordered Rainbow at that time. Sushi roll with slices of salmon on top of it. You know, it tasted great. Just like I expected it to be. Love it. And it's less expensive. I'd love to come there again and try another sushi menu.
