Wednesday evening, Dave and I had dinner with part of the Sasebo SRF workforce. We meet at a restaurant near the base. Our reservation was for two hours of dining. During this time, we had a set menu and open bar. We started our meal with a salad.
The second dish was a cooked vegetable medley prepared on the hot grill top in our table. Each of the prepared dishes served four people.
The server prepared our food while we watched. He spread the vegetables in a circle before pouring an Italian sauce into the center.
The final ingredient was cheese sprinkled on top. The dish was a little runny and not suitable for eating with chopsticks, instead we had a cut little shovel!
My only complaint about this dish was the amount of corn. I had a pile of whole kernel corn left on plate!
The next dish was my favorite. It started as a large piece of meat with garlic on the side m. We were instructed by our chef to “no touch”!
After a few minutes, our chef placed the garlic on top of the meat and a slab of butter.
When the meat was cooked to his satisfaction, he sliced it before searing it.
He seared it by spraying sauce and lighting it on fire!
While we were waiting for the steak to be finished cooking, we enjoyed paella.
The final dish was okonomiyaki. We had a similar dish when we went to visit Miyajima Island. There’s a lot going on in this dish. Cabbage, egg, bacon, and sauce!
The food was very good. Needless to say, no one was hungry by the end!
Fortunately, Dave and I had a some what long walk home to help us digest the meal. Along the way, we enjoyed a few Christmas lights! It was a great night with a great group of SRF Sasebo employees.
PS. I’m happy to report my WordPress App is working well again!
