When we got there, Shannon and Ryan were already sitting at our big table.

Andy had told me that the yakitori chicken wings are a must-have, so I ordered some.

Who doesn't like salted grilled meat? They were perfectly salted and had just the right amount of crispiness and tenderness. Todd and I shared it.
Andy also said be a little adventurous and order something more exotic. So I ordered grilled beef tongue.

The flavor was very good. The texture was a little more tough than a regular beef skewer and I wasn't used to that. It was also perfectly salted.
Now here is where I messed up and got confused. Andy had said that I should order the "shio" ramen (salted) because that's their specialty. I got confused and ordered the "shoyu" ramen, which is a soy sauce based broth instead. Oops! I didn't even realize this until after the meal, LOL.

I guess I'll just have to go back to Yakyudori and order the shio ramen next time! :D I still liked my shoyu ramen, it was not too salty and the toppings were good. I added the egg and bamboo as my extras. The noodles were perfectly cooked al-dente.
So I liked the food. The company was good too. I enjoyed catching up with everyone.

Next meeting of the Asian Food Club will be Ethiopian food. Yes, I know that's African and not Asian, but we're equal opportunity eaters. :p
Can't wait to see your Ethiopian adventure. I still can't look at the egg that comes in your soup. Tongue? Ewwww
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about your take on Ethiopian food, my best friend and I used to go to a little Ethiopian place in Nashville that we really liked!
ReplyDeleteMy tummy is rumbling now ... I've got a sudden craving for chicken wings with garlic, chill & salt ... off to ring my local take-away!!! I wonder what I'll be craving after your next outing at the Ethiopian restaurant???
