Tuna Raw Fish Susi ♥

No, I did not spell it wrong.

It is really Susi, without the H.

See?

 

It’s just a tiny shop with bright lights, always full of Koreans, sashimi, sushi, and soju. I didn’t even know sashimi can be Korean. Ooops, I mean sasimi. Ahihihi.

It’s only Mom, Dad and me for dinner tonight, so we order the Sashimi Set B, which consists of a sashimi platter and 12 side dishes.

 

Sashimi Platter – not really the freshest. Based on texture alone, I’d say these are previously frozen, and thawed, frozen again, and then thawed again.
Wrap the sashimi slices in nori, do as the Koreans do.

 

Congee – I applaud the addition of sesame oil, gives an otherwise dull-tasting congee so much excitement and flavor. My favorite of all side dishes.

 

There is not much to say about the eleven others. Some are ok, some so-so, and some just blah.

Salad – I like the fried garlic chips

 

Kaldereta Tuna – tasty stuff

 

Steamed Egg – silky… and bland

 

Golden Mushrooms

 

Breaded Egg

 

Breaded Shrimp

 

Cold Marinated Oysters

 

Susi

 

Mackerel

 

Uni

 

Mixed Tempura

 

Miso Soup

 

Fish soup – head, meat, and all kinds of fish parts imaginable

 

The young Korean lady owner comes to our table and announces they have special tuna belly that has just been flown in. We order some to try.

Looks nice and fatty but… nah, it’s chewy, veiny and not even a hint of that handsome
toro umami

 

The Korean lady owner and Dad. Now that is handsome!
