This is the "before" picture of the tobiko gunkan sushi that I picked off the conveyor belt at said accursed site.
This is the "after" photo of what happened after I put it in my mouth.
Yeah, I spat it out. *Ptui!* Something tasted foul in there. Mouldy seaweed? Bad rice? How could anyone f*** that up? For the second piece, I just scraped the tobiko off to add to my very sad and tasteless potato salad. The tobiko was a bit musky and briny, lacking the sweet scent of freshness. But passable compared to its shockingly horrible base.
Bottomline - I should have known better than to cave in to convenience. Sakae is NEVER worth it.
Never ever go to Sakae. Sure regret.
ReplyDeleteI think something fishy about you. You take picture of everything before you eat???
ReplyDeleteFishy-thinking anonymous: Yes, and as you can see in pic above, sometimes I even take picture of food AFTER I try to eat it.
ReplyDeleteActually, the truth is - not everything I eat gets photographed for posterity, I'm sorry. Not all food is blog-worthy.
Anthony: you got it!
That looks like a trully yuck experience but very funny :)
