Finally had a holiday, in the form of a 3 day weekend. Much needed..
Friday, I went to one of the Hiltons here for a thanksgiving dinner with Momoko at a French(styled) restaurant. I originally made the choice on the basis that they were having a Thanksgiving special course. As it turns out, it was the day before, Thursday, instead of Friday (which makes sense, that is thanksgiving in the US.) Friday is a labor day holiday here, so I didn’t connect the dots. Anyways, they were having a seafood holiday special buffet. Actually, it turned out better then the thanksgiving one, as I am not a big fan of turkey. So I enjoyed a variety of fabulous sushi and cooked dishes including cod, grouper, oysters and a few french dishes that I cannot pronounce yet. The desert was amazing also! A 5 tier chocolate fondue with all the fruits you could eat. However, the highlight of the meal (besides maguro and hamachi..) was the pumpkin and pecan pie.. Perfect! Just like grandmas…
In front of the restaurant there was a chocolate covered vespa. I have yet to figure out why.
Afterwards, we met up with some of Momoko’s friends from Kyoto and partied at my place and then we went to see underworld the next night. More to come on that later.
