So I'm in Asia and I've not had sushi...until now!!!! Andy and
Adelita turned in early for the evening so Kev and I decided to take a walk through Time Square (get the sense that there is an appreciation for American culture here) and we wanted to see what the sushi market was like here. And holy &*% it was good. We walked in 2 hours before this high end Japanese restaurant closed and was seated by the assistant manager, Cedric Lao, and was recommended 3 sushi and
Sashimi dishes that reined supreme relative to any sushi I've ever had. In addition to the likes of tofu sushi, sea urchin,
kobe beef, tuna,
toro, salmon,
yada,
yada,
yada...Kev and I enjoyed
Mcallen 12 and the waiter,
Aiten, suggested the order of sushi consumption for optimum enjoyment and also brought us 3 shots of sake at no charge to "cleans the pallet".
Additonally, the manager of only 4 weeks, Horace
Lai, came and shared with us his secret to success.
It was not only the best sushi I've ever had but it was the most memorable experience. Naturally this came with an expensive price tag. I've not spent more than 12 bucks on a meal yet so one night of pure decadence is
ok every now and then. This is why I work so hard. Here are the pics.
