Lunch@Shima Restaurant

We were once again invited by our boss Minowa-san to lunch today and this time, he brought us to Shima Restaurant at Goodwood Park Hotel.

When we arrived, we were given a warm welcome by the restaurant boss, Mr. Watanabe and his staff. They led us to our private room which they kindly arranged and yes, it was the typical tatami style room. The room is just nice to accommodate up to six pax and it’s really cozy.

Minowa-san ordered set lunch for us. I personally enjoyed their salad very much which was included in our set lunch. Minowa-san also ordered extra food like Salmon Sashimi for both of us as he knew he enjoyed that very much. The sashimi was really delicious as the salmon was very very fresh! Thumps up man…

When our main courses were served interestingly served with 6 different types of food in small portions. Then the ‘free-flow’ rice was served. The rice tasted rather special coz’ it wasn’t the same type of rice where you find at the normal Japanese restaurant like Sakae Sushi, Raku Zen, Sushi-Tei etc… the rice was really smooth, as smooth as porridge. Really … I am not kidding. It was really nice and you don’t feel bloated after eating. Well, you can always try it out yourself…

For dessert, Minowa-san kindly ordered green tea ice-cream for us with an additional cost incurred. Simply enjoyed the green tea ice-cream topped with red beans. Never like red-bean but somehow it tasted not too bad with green tea ice cream…

It was one great experience having lunch in a private tatami style room. Cool stuff…
