Yakitori!

Lin and I like yakitori. It's such a tasty, fuss free (to us as we need not do anything) finger food. ;) We would like to share with everyone this place, Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane) in Tokyo.

Omoide Yokocho is a small alley filled with small shops selling nothing but Yakitori. You will be spoilt for choice! :) The narrow lanes, the limited seating capacity in each shop and the smoke from the sizzling meat evokes a scene of the late 1940s. Very nostalgic.

Grilled green peps & mushrooms sticks. :)

Crispy on the outside, soft inside... :)

You need not stick to one yakitori store. You can hop to the next. :) Each store sells different types of yakitori. ;)

These cherry tomatoes wrapped with bacon strips are really yummy! :D

The grilled scallops were simply succulent! :)

We love fried rice. ;)

I would strongly recommend anyone who's going to Tokyo to check out this place! :) The place might be redeveloped in the near future and hence do visit the place while it's still around.

We were thrilled when Patrick invited us for yakitori dinner this evening! :)The venue: Kato Fusion, #04-05 Cuppage Plaza Singapore. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The yakitori were quite saltish, nothing spectacular and the service was blah. Plus, the place is not camera friendly, i.e no photos-taking allowed. I cannot understand why some restaurants do not allow custy to take photos. Seriously I would have ordered more if they allowed me to capture my dining experience. We will not visit the place again. : I
