arcane Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 The shrimp tempura we had at Wasabi was not "barely battered." It kinda looked like a blonde beehive hairdo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted June 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Fink, Arcane...I have to agree with you. This is now a mandatory pit stop on every road trip for me. Double steak and cheese? Double yum and yum that's what I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted June 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Hey BradM, I have eaten at Kinki in the Market. The atmosphere is very upscale and the prices match the atmosphere. A bit too pricey for me to frequent that place too often. It's very difficult for a sushi restaraunt to stand apart from the rest, as sushi is sushi and is prepared the same way across the board. This place matches different sakes with different sushis (like wine sommeliers) and it also makes a KILLER seaweed salad, better than most I've tasted. Still, too expensive for moi. If someone offered to pay I'd go back in a second. But then again, if someone offered to pay, I'd eat almost anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcane Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 quote:Originally posted by h: sounds like a wicked salad though - what's the dressing on that? robust olive oil and red wine vinegar, mixed 2:1. Add oregano to taste (mine is homegrown but dried, so I rub a bunch of it and toss it in). Add freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste (some days I do, some days I don't). Crushed garlic is good, too. If I have the following, they go into the bowl: -- parsley -- green onions -- finely chopped celery Other stuff that would be good but I haven't tried: -- black olives -- artichoke hearts Now, if we're talking about cooking, well ... Bradm is probably a better cook than I am, at least for stir fry. I like baking, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcane Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 quote:Originally posted by bradm: This episode, the restaurant under the microscope was Kinki* in the Byward Market. It looks like a moderately upscale Japanese/Asian semi-fusion place, with a sushi/sashimi bar. Has anybody tried it? It's located at 41 York St., right beside Expedition. The Mercenary and I have decided that we have a mission: We must try *every* Japanese restaurant in Ottawa. Last weekend it was "Wasabi" in the Market on Clarence. The menu is pretty much sushi-based. For the price, the sashimi was decent enough. The Mercenary had some comments about the sushi, but on the whole, the place was alright. I have to say that the server was very attentive, and that's something I appreciate. We went to "Shogun" on Carling a few weeks ago. This is a teppan place, so the charm is in the floor show performed by the chef cooking at your table. The server remarked on how unusual she thought it was that we started off with sashimi, so I guess gaijin go there for the floor show and bypass the raw fish. The teppan entrees were very tasty, and I have to give credit to the chef for understanding the meaning of "bleu". (When I want raw cow, I mean raw cow.)
