i see..do those two sushi bars serve other types of japanese food aside from sushi?

How to eat natto
Nowadays, the natto product is packed in small plastic packages with soy sauce and mustard..
One pack is about 50grams.

Most popular way to prepare natto is as follows.

Please put natto into a suitable porcelain bowl.
Stir the natto with chopsticks or other suitable tool. Do not mash. Stir fast and well. (Not 1 hour, 60 seconds is enough:-p)
Pour the soy sauce and mix mustard.
If spring onions are available, it is recommended to finely chop these and mix in. Then put a spoon of natto on steamed rice and eat them together.

Miso soup matches well with natto.

Had rice with couple of things tonight.
My mom made this one dish where it has Eggplant, fish (catfish), and some pork in it. Its a made just right on spicy level imho. Eat this with some vegies (mint, bean sprout, and i think there was some cabbage). Put the greens in a different bowl and pour the soup on it to give them flavor.

It was yummy :mrgreen:

Buffets usually don't have quality foods unless you're talking about certain hotels, like in Vegas.

True.
Still....i've never ate at a buffet this crappy.
Anyone who lives up in Blossom Hill, don't eat at King Buffet. Such a waste of money :grumble:

For dinner, one of those instant bowl noodle with veggies and a bowl of Papaya salad. Has carrot and other stuff in it that i have no idea what its called.
