Arigato!

That orange color caviar almost killed me last night! I’m not a sushi fan at all, and as much as I’ve tried it, I realized that I couldn’t get over that gross ocean taste of seaweed. Lately, I’ve been to some untypical Japanese restaurants such as Maki and the Sushi Club. Yes, this year was my first time in Maki. I’m a Maki Virgin! I swear, I would tell people that I’ve never been to Maki, and the expression on their faces would be like I’ve told them, I’ve never tasted bananas for instance, because as it seems, in order to fit in the Kuwaiti category, you should’ve been to Maki at least once. I’m not talking about the newly open Maki at the avenues, but the old one that opened a few years ago in Salmiya. Bottom line is, I’m not really into Japanese food. Get me something Italian, homemade, or American Soul Food. These are my top choices. Nothing does it like a good ol’ burger and fries!
Anyway, back to my subject…I called up my friend last night and we were thinking of a place to hang out. I was just craving for Sushi Club’s salad, the one with apple dressing. My poor friend thought that since I suggested the Sushi Club, I would be up for any other Japanese place. So she suggested we go to Shogun at the Palms hotel. I thought, what the heck, all the Japanese places are the same in here…they don’t only serve those typical raw sushi rolls and stuff. We went in there, and I liked the ambience, but other than that…the food for me, personally sucked. I’m a food lover, and I appreciate every single bite of whatever I eat. I said I would give the salad a try, but it was filled with caviar that I should’ve expected a little fish farm to form in my mouth anytime soon. I tried a crunchy sushi roll, and again, I hate seaweed! Why would I even think of putting it in my mouth? My friend loves Japanese food and I’m glad she enjoyed it. But I left depressed and needed some comfort food.
Escaping to my big peanut butter jar was just the solution to my sad experience. I toasted some bread and indulged in my favorite comfort food ever.
This concludes my sushi experiments. I’m taking a solemn vow never to waste space in my stomach anymore for bad food.
