Suzuran

I don't usually do a review on the take-away food since dining in experience is far more fun and you get to enjoy the food freshly cook at the restaurant. This time, it is an exception - Suzuran is an exception. Suzuran is a Japanese groceries store with a sushi bar inside. It is not just an average sushi bar that you may see, it is a sushi bar that does not have ready made meal, but rather freshly made to your order. There is no table for you to dine in, so the only option available is to order them and do a take home. I was surprised on the traffic of the customers that walked out with the sushi platters on their hands - when one walked out, new customer walked in.
After being fascinated by the foot traffic of customers, I made my way into Suzuran. After passing the groceries section, I saw what I came for...Suzuran Sushi bar was right in front of me. I stood there looking at the menu and couldn't make up my mind on what to order since there were so many things that I wanted to eat. Ooh, difficult decision indeed. I ended up passing the baton to my companion, Miss P, to do the ordering. After the order was made, Miss P and I were advised to come back in 15 minutes to pick up the sushi. Before the pick up time arrived, I managed to pick up few side dishes from the groceries section and Miss P got her hands on the sake. That's right, the sushi feast wouldn't be completed without a bottle of sake!
