No worries! Ms. Piggy is back and there will be lots of updates on Burgers and Rice! Updates about Hawaii will be up soon, but I've got a couple of surprises up my sleeve before I write about the delicous things I ate during my trip to Hawaii.
So...today is my birthday! My mom and I decided to have dinner at a nearby Japanese restaurant, formerly known as Fukyu but was forced to change its name due to it's similarity to a certain word...
Kebuki is a nice little place on Rue Jean Talon Ouest, a 10 to 15 minute walk from Namur metro. The decor is very nice, although tonight was a quiet night, being that it's a Wednesday. I've never seen it during Friday evenings or weekends, but Kebuki deserves more attention!
The menu is small and simple (something I like), and prices are reasonable. They actually have a Valentine's Day special still going on which is 55$ for 2 people. Very good price, and you get tons of food!
My mom and I decided to order off the menu and because the Valentine's Day special was just too much food for the both of us.
We started off with an appetizer called Mount Kebuki, which were avocado halves filled with salmon tartare, and topped with fried taro strings, and masago. It was lovely and refreshing compared to the typical tempura appetizers and what not.
Next, we had soft shell crab, which is my favourite and will always order if on the menu! So crispy! The sauce that came with it was delcious; salty, sweet, vinegary, and I believe filled with shallots.
We then had a sushi roll called Kodi-Mon. The presentation was beautiful and I loved the use of flowers in their garnishes. It almost marked the coming of Spring! If I remember correctly, the roll consisted of tuna, salmon, and albacore. That's a roll that's worth the money in my opinion. The dish was fresh and made up for my red meat filled week! Besides, I will eat anything that has shiso leaves!
Last dish was a bento box that my mom had ordered, which was a typical grilled teriyaki salmon. It was delicious all the same, but not spectacular. It also comes with a miso soup and to our suprise, spring rolls with a sesame dip.
Overall, delicious food, great ideas, wonderful presentation, great service, and reasonably priced. My favourite was the Mount Kebuki dish because it was very creative. I would definately go again, especially since its literally a 5 minute walk from my appartment! They also do take out and I recommend Kebuki. It's much better than many sushi places in downtown Montreal with, pardon my language but, shitty service, and terribly rotten looking fish.
Had a lovely dinner with my mother. Unfortunately, I'm another year older, but also another year wiser!
