Kofuku- friday dinner

It is in recent times that my husband has developed quite a palate for Japanese food. I have a great fondness for the cuisine too. So we often scout for new Jap hang-outs. We visited Kofuku a couple of weeks ago on a Friday night. When we entered, the place was roaring with laughter and chatter of young crowd. Since we planned it at the end moment, we did not get a regular table and instead got a place over the sushi bar. I like facing the kitchen directly since I get to see the goings-on in there, so I was happy. We quickly ordered our Sake and a plate of non-vegetarian Maki Boston Roll to go with that.

The Maki was well made. Next we ordered a plate of Okonomi Yaki, which is a form of non-vegetarian pancake. We ordered ours with Pork, the end result was a big tasty pancake with beautifully balanced flavors. It was a very filling dish, had we known earlier would have probably tucked in a few more rounds of Maki before that :)

Finally we ordered a bowl of Yaki Udon with beef for Main course. It was was a good dish, again quite filling. So it was a wise decision to order one bowl only. However I realized that I would prefer Soba over Udon anyday. 

I liked the food very much, and will surely be back to sample a few more of the variants in the Sushi section. I loved the Sake and Sushi experience at the counter. If you are a no-fuss girl like I am, you would too. But a table booking over the weekends is highly recommended here. Also the Chef managed to squeeze out some time to interact with us personally and take our feedback. That made us feel very welcome in this place. All the cooks had a smiling face and were greeting people from their kitchen. That I think is a mark of great hospitality. Kudos to the team here!

The bad ass buffet at Global Fusion!

I have been to Global Fusion over eight times and I confess that till date I have never been able to taste all the dish on their menu. Such is the 'vastness' of their buffet! The very first time that we had been to this place, we were in for a surprise with this vast spread, but we learnt this soon enough and for our forthcoming trips we have been relatively prepared, because one cannot be fully prepared for this vast array of Asian food choices. Everything on their menu card happens to be on display, and one can order this together or in portions, for a fixed per head cost. Most of everything that they have on display are interesting options and good and the place is good value for money!  View from our Table 29 at Global Fusion Their display includes a Sushi counter. But my favorite is the Baked Prawn with Cheese and the Prawn Tempura. My husband is very fond of their Prawn Tempura and the Iceberg chicken. Their Tempura’s are perfectly crispy on the outside and m...
