Not chicken. The Cat’s lunch yesterday, not porkchop.
The Cat brought a mousie bag home for The Mouse to try. sauce was soupy, dish reminded The Mouse of chicken noodle soup but with ahi instead of chicken. Not bad, homey comfort food. 🙂
Stay safe and well.

The Cat went to the office Sunday, picked up bento on the way home. Sakura Terrace becoming one of The Cat and The Mouse’s favorites.
Chicken Nanban Bento
The Cat’s. Slightly fried chicken top w/house made tartare sauce, rice, miso soup, salad, side dishes x3. Fried chicken with tartare sauce? It’s gooood! 🙂
Maguro Steak Bento
The Mouse’s. Seared Maguro Filet, rice, miso soup, salad, side dishes x3. Becoming a favorite.
Salmon Nanbanzuke
Battered and fried salmon, tossed in a spicy pickle marinade. Weekend special. Nom!
Stay safe and well.

One of the managers at The Mouse’s workplace decided to treat lunch. One of the owner’s other companies he owns, a poke shop.
Poke and Sashimi on Greens
Wasabi Masago poke, salmon, hamachi, and ahi sashimi. This was a small portion. The Mouse was afraid if he ordered the regular, he would be sleepy after. 🙂
Nom!
The Mouse is not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but just wondering if the manager got an “employee discount”. Hee hee.
Stay safe.

Last weekend, time shift and all. Hee hee.
The Place
We tried it once before, seemed like they were aiming toward a younger crowd. Last week, the lunch crowd seemed more The Mouse’s age. Maybe it was a re-branding? Dunno.
Matcha Tea
A good start.
Meal Accompaniments
Pickles, side (fried fish cake), salad, miso soup.
So far so good.
Ordered something The Mouse hasn’t tried before.
Ahi Zuke and Yamaimo Don
Soy sauce based marinated ahi sashimi and mountain yam over rice. Yum.
And, a little something to “cleanse the palate” at the end.
Yuzu Sorbet
Overall, a little pricey, definitely not cheap eats. A nice occasional treat “once in a blue moon”. 🙂
Enjoy. Eat well.

A while back, The Cat was named an executor of one of her client’s estates. He was an ex-pat living abroad (that used to live here). Yesterday, a group of his friends brought a part of his ashes back to SPAM land for his send-off (a portion stayed in Australia).
Since The Cat didn’t really know the client on a personal level, The Cat was a little perplexed about the memorial dinner.
By serendipitous coincidence, The Cat made reservations at Michel’s at the Colony Surf. Turns out the client, R, loved France and French food.
The Place
Near one of R’s favorites spots, Diamond Head.
Since the group was relatively large (fifteen), individual ordering could be prohibitive and cumbersome, went with chef’s choice for the table.
Amuse Bouche
Ahi tartare, shiso leaf, caviar. Nom! The Mouse’s only “complaint” (and totally not in the spirit of an “amuse bouche”), The Mouse wanted more. Sigh. Hee hee.
Lobster Bisque
Menu description: Served for over 40 years at Michel’s with fresh Maine lobster meat flamed in Cognac at your table.
The Requisite “Flamed”
Caesar Salad
Menu description:Â Hirabara baby romaine & hearts of palm, tossed tableside in our classic creamy dressing, anchovy filets served upon request.
The picture is prior to The Mouse’s request of more anchovies. Server was kind enough to “load up” The Mouse’s plate. Dragons breathe fire, The Mouse breathes anchovy breath. Hee hee. Haaaaah!
Fish Course
Salmon, tomato coulis, tomato confit, asparagus, angel hair pasta. Well prepared.
Palate Refresher
Kalamansi sorbetto with blueberry. Happy.
Meat Course
Venison, mashed potato, mushroom risotto, foie gras. I think the sauce had blueberries in it. Socks off nom.
So, everyone else’s plate was a stacked presentation, The Mouse’s looked a little deconstructed. But, The Mouse had the biggest foie gras piece. What does the soccer announcer say? SCOOOOOOOOOOOOORE! 🙂
Dessert
Chef H procured fresh peaches and made Peach Melba. Peaches, vanilla ice cream, raspberries, whipped cream, amaretto. A nice ending to an awesome dinner. Chef even gave us the leftover peaches to take home.
Thanks Chef H, we will be back.
All R’s Australian friends felt the dinner was a perfect send-off.
The Mouse was fully satisfied and satiated.
Enjoy. Eat well.
