You know how some places serve better food at dinner than at lunch?
I think Miyabi is one such place.
Remember my luncheon sometime ago? Tsk.
… Or maybe I just have more sophisticated ordering skills after 7pm.
An Encyclopedia Britannica of a menu
Kimpira Gobo – very addicting stuff
Kimchi
Special Kani Salad – love the sprinkling of sakura powder
Umaki Tamago – Beware! Those tiny pieces of eel got way too many bones!
Unagi and Inari Sushi – again, be cautious of them little unagi bones
Unaju
So you noticed. We love unagi.
We ordered manymanymore dishes that night, but the waitress prohibited me from taking photos and stood close to our table to watch me the whole time.
Restaurant snootiness still exists?!
Anyway, 12 days later I am back with my weapon – Ahia Nichol, my cousin and a very important person at Miyabi.
Hey waitress, watch and weep! 
We each order a dinner set which consists of a main dish of our choice, 2 mini appetizers, miso soup, rice or noodles, ice cream or fruits.
Ahia Nic has 2 orders of Tamago Tofu for his appetizer
I have Tamago
and Agedashi Tofu
He orders US Beef Teppan for his entrée. I steal a piece. It is soft and flavorful.
I order a Mini Sukiyaki which turns out to be more maxi than mini. The beef is tender and the soup very tasty, but I can’t possibly allow myself to finish this giant bowl that is good for two. I beg Ahia Nic to share it with me.
But minutes after he turns me down, I find myself slurping up the last strand of noodle from my bowl, and I catch my date smiling amusedly at me.
Oh come on, Nichol Yap, wipe that nasty grin off your face!
We upgrade to fried rice instead of steamed. Gotta level up.
Miso soup
Green tea ice cream – didn’t they say it’s good to have green tea after a very big meal?
Another night of gluttony. Thank you, Ahia Nic!
