Crazy for sashimi~ which is the best?

 

   One of my dear follower/readers asked me a good question in my blog post dining out with john and yoko, on which restaurants serves the best sashimi’s. BF and I have dined at Teriyaki Boy, Kimono ken and John and yoko. She asked which among the three serves a better sashimi. Here are pictures for you to compare, the difference of each restaurant.

  Teriyaki boy

                                   Salmon sashimi P195 for P7pcs.

   Kimono Ken

                            Shake Sashimi (salmon) P200 for 10pcs

   And last but not the least, John and Yoko

 

   Now forgive me I can’t provide the price since we ate at John and Yoko as a group and had the group platter, but If I remember it right the tuna sashimi costs P168 for P7pcs.

   You can definitely tell the difference for each salmon sashimi’s served. Teriyaki boy had a firmer texture and none of the brown part (which I’m not sure if it’s some sort of fatty part of the fish or what), like the one at kimono ken *please refer to images above.

    Teriyaki Boy

    good points:

•      firm in texture
•      no brown part
•      i liked how it looked like compared to kimono ken (presentation)
•      for a fast food japanese restaurant, the quality is really good.

 

       Kimono Ken

      good points:

•       for the price you get more pieces of salmon sashimi
•       for taste, I can tell it’s still fresh but it just seemed fatty – or it may just be me.
•        texture wise, very soft thin slices
•        fairly priced

         bad points:

•    the brown part doesn’t look appealing         

 

       John and Yoko

        good points:

•         taste’s a wee bit better than kimono ken
•         taste’s like a regular salmon sashimi would taste like
•         tuna sashimi was superiorly fresh, as you can see in the photo. That’s the kind of color you are looking for when buying fresh tuna in the market.

 

       In conclusion…

       Kitty says:  Among the three restaurants, my favorite for salmon sashimi would definitely be Teriyaki boy.

       Of course, there are far more better restaurants that serves salmon sashimi. But among the three, it has to be teriyaki boy surprisingly. Then again, this is my opinion, it could be different from yours.

Thanks Salmoncat for asking me that question.

 

How about you? where’s the best salmon sashimi you’ve dined at? I’m curious, and just because I love it a lot! Do share ^_^

 

Till then!

Tech talk: Samsung ES30 vs. NIKON L21 – Comparison

 

     BF bought a new toy, a Samsung ES30 and now he can finally blog with decent photos and videos, and with that we sort of made comparisons with his Samsung ES30 and with my NIKON L21. My camera only has 8MP, his has 12MP. Here are the photos taken with my recent food review at Piadina.

                     l-r: Samsung ES30, NIKON L21

What I can say with our camera’s?

     It both has strong points and weak points, but regardless, It really depends on what you need for a camera. I like the beauty shot that Samsung exclusively has and the slightly wide angle it has compared to mine. As for my needs (in my camera), I like to see detail in my photos and crisp results.  M always say’s it’s a battle now who has the better photos, haha~

Just in case you’re wondering what’s the difference with his camera, here’s a snippet…
