Onion Volcano and the Chop Stick Wars

'Ching Chong su kaa ching chong' !! - thats my war cry when i get into chop stick wars with my nephew. Went with these guys to Binihana (Red Flower in English) - A supposedly good Japanese Steak Place. It was good don't doubt my intentions. My first visit to Binihana was with Azz and Mountain Man. That was a hilarious visit because we were just looking to grab a inexpensive dinner and we landed up with a 80$ Bill between 3 people and a spoon full of wasabi in my mouth and fire in of my ass. Here on i would call it 'Kill Dip'. Funny thing for the inexpensive dinner was that i was dressed up for the occasion in my best pair of green bathroom slippers. ;-). Neways that was a good meal and money well spent.

The only thing which i didn't try that day was sake - the Japanese wine made from rice.
Like everything Japanese it is also served in tiny cups with tiny hands from a person having tiny eyes walking on tiny feet. Lil Tiny's.

So today's visit was primarily to drink sake and watch the onion volcano again. By Onion Volcano is meant "teppan-yaki" in which food would be prepared right at the table "teppan-yaki" style (Teppan meaning "steel grill" and yaki meaning "broiled") with dazzling effects by highly trained chefs. The Onion Volcano was good but the chef wasn't too artistic. We had tempura, Steak and Sushi. Awesome Food - Though i still haven't developed a taste for sushi apart from that loved everything. Tempura is like a Fried shrimp more or less. Nothing too funky.

Along with us was a couple from Boston - the lady's name was Trisha i didn't bother to ask the guy's name. ;-) They had with them a 14 month old Baby Benjamin - called 'Benjmi'. So after i had done my Chopstick 201 i started with the best part of a chop stick Meal - chopstick fight. I usually find a kid - Indian Kids are darnest of them all they might just poke the chopstick up in your eyes - they put up a good fight. So me and jasraj got into this chop stick fight and i won as usual and then i get to kick his ass. So i whopped his ass today.

Got back to the office to wrap up some work and then planing to take the other document home now and work from there. Weekend's Gonna go working.
