Dhomo, Arigato and Maastarr teech me Koong Foo :-)

Sushi... "Yaru saar andha figure" will be the first words out of a machi's mouth but people who know about this place called Japan and its food will immly recognize it as a type of food. Sushi is nothing but raw sea-food eaten with a variety of sauces and a pungent smelling, green colored and really flucking hot chutney like thing called wasabi. I have never eaten at an authentic jap restaurant in chennai so when I heard that there are a couple of em here, I jumped with joy.

Me and Arvind saar decided about 4 days back that we will head to Dahlia in Nungambakkam and kill the Sushi and Sashimi there. Read aboot the place on Google and came to know that its a costly place to diner but still the Sushi lured us to attack the place on Thursday. The plan was to hit dahlia and then head to 10D for some croaking at the karaoke night.

Self and Arvind reached Dahlia at 8.30 and sat down looking at the menu not understanding any fluck of wat the dishes were and how they tasted. The lady who was there helped us in choosing the dishes. I asked for a Chicken in butter sauce with rice and soup along with it and Arvind ordered for the Dahlia Maki sushi. Well the highlight was the Sake. It was priced at 500 per portion and each portion fueled 6 shooters. By the end of the first, me and arvidn were buzzing a bit and then came one more portion which actually took us to Uranus and back :P~. The chicken was lovely and cooked very well. I took a piece of sushi from Arvind's plate and enjoyed it thoroughly too. Raw fish ROCKSSSSSSS :-)

All in all a good experience but YES there was a hole in the pocket. With the Sake the bill per head came to 900 Rs :P~

Headed to Barista after that to catch up with Srini and Pom Pom and after some vetti talk later, I head off to 10D to catch up with Condom, Dodo and Mak. Couple of numbers later, we decide to call it quits and I head back to 10D and again the round of coffees start and we leave that place 15 mins to One.


To sum up... Dahila is a lovely place and I will sure visit it again. Its costly so regular visits are out of the window. The Sake is cheap and is awesome. The food is yumm and YES u need to eat with chopsticks :P~. Wasabi is nice and will be a nice taster to old monk rum :P~

Peace
Dosai

PS: I typed on notepad and it did not have spell checks hence gracefully facaf.
