Went to celebrate a colleague’s birthday yesterday at a Japanese restaurant called Umai-ya ( Delicious Shop? XD ) nearby our workplace. Went there once prior and liked their stuff. As usual; Japanese restaurant tends to be rather pricey but I think the food here is pretty worth the splurge once in a bluemoon :3

Got the private room to ourselves ( there were six of us in total ) and it was absolute havoc XD I sure hope the other diners didn’t file complains against us for being too loud and rowdy ^^; ( it’s not like any of us had any sake either .. )

Pictures are taken with el crappo phone camera. Sorry about the quality ;3;

Sake and Kanpachi sashimi set :3 Portions were just good for the six of us and the slices were generous

Since we decided to order stuff a la carte; we ordered steamed rice bowl each ( though there are other options such as garlic rice and some other too methink ) Picture next to this are of steamed egg with unagi :3 Pretty good though it really resembles those homemade steamed egg with pork innit XDD

Quite possibly my favourite dish for the night. Sushi with special mango sauce ( there are mango slices too :3 )

Mixed seafood teppanyaki. This taste a little weird for me. Maybe because they added some pepper-y stuff on the mayonnaise dressing?

Fried ebi tenpura :3 I’m a-okay with this cuz I’m not usually a tempura person XD;;

Chicken teriyaki. The teriyaki sauce is nice but then again, I’m not too much of a teriyaki person either XP But there was soft shell crab, which I LOVED. So all is well ♥

We decided that we weren’t full enough after all those ( ooooh the gluttony! ) and ended the dinner with another set of sake sashimi and sake maki XD I love the shape the maki comes in :3

There are a few more pictures taken from the first time we went there last month. But I’d got lazy XD Will probably upload it later XD
