TRIPLEdB: NADINEs 2013 BIRTHDAY

Nadines 39th birthday lunch at Sugi Resto in Greenbelt 2..

I went ahead to Greenbelt to have lunch with Nadine and the rest of the family. It was not an ordinary lunch cos that day was my sisters birthday. This family loves surprises. So this one was another surprise for the celebrant. I was advised to go and meet them in the mall. From the mall, we proceeded to Sugi.

What made this ordinary lunch extraordinary was that Brett reserved a private tatami room for us. We were able to experience an authentic traditional japanese restaurant were in we had to take off our shoes, sat on the floor and felt Japanese ambiance around us. The room was all to us, there is a button to press if we need assistance. Waiters in their kimonos were there to take orders and assist the customers to their needs.

I had assorted tempura, it was 3 piece consisting of shrimp, fish and eggplant. I had assorted sushi. There was a bowl of beans sprout for side dish and our favorite appetizer was the pickle salad. There were bite size of fruits too. It was served ala carte and presented in trays. One full tray and huge portion of servings. We stayed for a while and took pleasure on our food.

The Origins of Sugi.

The name sugi is japanese for pine tree from where this fragrant wood is taken from; a tree which can only grow higher and higher.
