Japanese Bento Box Meal!

A friend recommended me to go to a Japanese bento restaurant today called Mount Fuji. I've never been but I've walked past the restaurant a few times before. Sometimes it can be packed but when I went there were only a few customers. We got there around 2pm so that we could have a light lunch Bento box.



Light Lunch Bento Box
Sakana no Ankake...
We both ordered "Sakana no Ankake" (Cod fillet bento); cod fish fillets prepared Japanese style with onions, carrots, peppers an shittake mushrooms with a Mount fuji sweet and sour sauce. It comes with Japanese sticky rice, potatoes, salad, pickles and a small slice of pineapple and orange.



It had a lid but the waitress lifted it up to serve it to me.
-The sticky rice was fluffy and slightly sticky hence the name lol.
-The pickles were sour in contrast to the sweetness of the potatoes.
-The fish fillets had a white thin japanese batter which gives it a slight crunch, and soft inside.
-The salad had lettuce, radish, cucumber and spinach? It had a dressing like a vinegarette.
-To finish off, a slice of pineapple and orange for dessert.

Was it worth the price?
- The price was pricey... on the website it said £6.35 but at the restaurant it was £7.85. Some may say the portion is very small, but this filled me up good; mainly because of the rice. To prove that, I didn't eat anything that day except for this meal.

Side Orders
Egg Sushi, Salad Sushi Roll and Green Tea...





This was served with wasabi, japanese pickled ginger and soy sauce.
-The egg was REALLY juicy and sweet. When I bit into it, the sweet syrup was juicing out of it.
-The salad sushi was just cucumber, lettuce, Nori and rice rolled in sesame seeds.
-The green tea had a nice aroma...

Was it worth the price?
- No, I don't think so. Egg sushi and salad sushi together is around £6, Green tea was £1.80.

Salmon Sushi...




It's served with wasabi and japanese pickled ginger.
-Really nice though, Salmon was fresh and smooth.

Was it worth the price?
I expected more than this... £3.65 for this??? :( I thought i'd get at least 3... -.-
All together it costed just less than £30. We don't eat out much so it's a fair price to pay for a good meal once in a while.

Overall, I had a great time catching up with my friend ^-^ Spent a hour eating lol. I did enjoy the meal, and it filled me up for the whole day. I recommend this restaurant to those who like to have small portion meals or having a tea break.

Snow White and The Huntsman Review

After work, around 22.45pm, Dad took me and my sister to watch Snow White and The Huntsman ^-^ Late night movie time!




My rating: 7/10


Why?
Well, because the storyline is well known, I already predicted what was going to happen next, also I feel there are a some really pointless scenes.
E.g magic fairies that look like tiny Na'vi elves, a white horse with antlers appeared from no where reminded me straightaway of the forest god deer in the anime Princess Mononoke. Also when Snow white jumps off a cliff, how the heck can there be a random white horse lying on the shore waiting for her and just let her ride it?!

What's the twist?
-The mirror is a GONG!!
-The huntsman is the one who breaks the spell from snow white.
-One of the seven drawfs die.
-The Queen turns old each time she uses her magic just like the witch from the film STARDUST.
-The Queen turns into the Snow White's childhood friend and tricked her to eat the poison apple instead of an old HAG!

I love Kristen Stewart, I think she really played the part well. Her jet black hair, clear white skin and red lips really portrayed Snow white's character.

The film finished around 1.30am... so yeah, I don't think it's worth watching but at least I cheekily sat in a Premier VIP seat... hehehehe ^w^

Just Chillin' - Strolling at the park...

Last week, the weather was so nice! Sunny and no clouds for the whole week... it was around 27 degrees and everyone got their shorts out! Typical in Britain XD And so, I went to the park with my little sister. We sunbathed on the grass and had ice cream~






See... No clouds at all!

The next day, I had really bad sunburn on my shoulder even though I put suncream 50+!! Great day though ^-^
