MINAMISHIMA





We started off with the Ume Royale, cocktail made with umeshu, sake and sparkling wine and a yuzu soda.


Seared scallops with shitake mushroom


Toro tartare on yam chips




Sea Urchin with charcoal buck noodle.

Next was our Omakase Bar set, of 15 sushi, a soup and a dessert. They didn't provide a menu, so I may have forgotten some of the fish names. Let your imagination take place.

1. King George Whiting

2. King Dory with Ginger

3. Snapper with Pozu

4. Sea perch

5. Calamari

6. New Zealand Scampi

The scampi sushi was my favourite of all, it was creamy and sweet to taste. Not sure if its everyone's taste, but it was definitely my favourite.


7. Seared Hokkaido Scallop

8. Octopus

9. Scorched Flounder Fin

10. Tuna Belly

11. Seared Tuna Belly

There was three toro nigri, but out of the three, this seared toro tasted the best. After the fire, the fat starts to come out, which you could really taste, it tasted buttery but not too oily. The best combination of fat and freshness. This was my second favourite of the night.

12. Blue Fin Tuna


Special menu, Abalone

13. Herring Roe

The Herring roe nigiri was the strange nigiri of the night, the texture was quite unique. It was crunchy but sponge at the same time. It was flavourless like itself, but it could easily absorb too much soy source. Quite the strange sensation.




From right to left,
14. Salt water Eel
15. Traditional Egg cake


A rice and salt fermented soup garnished dry puffer fish fin.

The meal finished off with a water jelly with strawberry sauce.

The meal was excellent but the experience was amazing, the chefs were professional and the staff was friendly and inviting . Sitting at the bar, you could all the action, all the kneading and scorching. It is definitely an experience I can recommend to everyone no matter the cost. Seeing the process from the start to the end, makes it worth your coin.

Thanks for reading, stay tuned for more!!!

X-Carve - My First CNC Experience

Image
Hi everyone, my CNC has finally arrived couple weeks ago. I pre-ordered it about a month or two ago, it took ages to get to me. From my knowledge, INVENTIBLES packs them individually and customizes it for every customer as you can get upgrades for your CNC from day one. I got some of the upgrades that were recommended by the forum, like ACME lead Z-axis rod and drag chains. I get it with my own money, so cost effectiveness was the key.  All components were neatly packed with bubble wrap. The whole package came in one piece. They were all individually wrapped for every step, so you only needed to open a box for the specific step.  The online manual was very helpful. They have video instructions for every step. I would watch the tutorial and then read the written manual for conformation.  The first step was to build the X- carriage. As the first thing to build, it was quite intimidating but soon enough I got the hang of using the eccentric n...

Box Hill Camera Sunday Market - 20/09/2015

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog. This time will be a visit to the twice a year Local Camera Market, but this is actually my every first time there as well. Do you guys have local second hand markets like this? Let me know if you do. Post a comment or message me. So, the local market is at the Box Hill Town Hall, in Melbourne. I was really excited to see what bargains I could find or just to see what antiques I could see. There was a lot of cameras, cameras that I have never even heard of. Most of them are older than me, probably four times as old as me. The venue was packed with photographers, sellers and enthusiast that are so passionate about photography. Many of them have a huge collection of cameras that they have collected all their lives. When you looked at the camera, you could see how much they had been through. I also heard from one of the sellers, that they got one of their cameras from police auctions. It was once the camera of a prince in some country, b...
