Lunch 900
Laura and I had a super-late breakfast slash late lunch at Gyu-Kaku, the Japanese place on Green and Delacey in Old Town. It was an amazing experience! You grill your own food on these circular grills of deliciousness in the middle of the table.


Laura looking cute as always


They mixed up our bibimbap (Korean mixed rice) at the table!


We grilled these bits of yumminess at our table. There were marinated beef, chicken and veggies.


And of course our lunch combo came with a salad, miso soup and steamed rice.


The bibimbap all mixed up ... so good.


For dessert we ordered the 'yakimochi' with black sesame ice cream and Japanese maple syrup. You grill the little pieces of mochi and they get all puffy and toasted -- the outside is crispy and the inside gooey and chewy. They're not sweet but they were PERFECT with the black sesame ice cream.

Dinner 250

Cucumbers, asparagus, fresh bamboo shoot and beancurd stir-fry


Bell peppers and edamame, roasted tomato and garlic bisque

Post-dinner munchies 800

Blueberries with whipped cream, frozen mocha almond mousse torte (like ice cream. delish), homemade mochi with red bean paste filling


Soybean butter, candy cane Joe-Joe, navel orange
