What I Had For Lunch 7/25/08

Went to a Japanese restaurant.

For an appetizer, I had gyoza (fried dumplings) and vegetable tempura. Then I had a Mexican roll (shrimp tempura, cream cheese, avocado, scallion, spicy mayo) and shared a Birthday roll (shrimp tempura, salmon skin, eel, cream cheese, scallion, asparagus, topped with avocado, and eel sauce).

The Birthday roll was a little busy -- there was just a lot of stuff in it -- but it was my favorite out of the two. There was a lot more depth to it. While the Mexican roll was, essentially, just shrimp tempura and white rice, the Birthday roll had a lot more complexity, a lot more levels of flavors. It was a multi-faceted sushi roll.
