MY CAYMAN EATOUT PART2 • YOSHI SUSHI

Malibu Pineapple with lime







Today's restaurant is Cayman's very famous YOSHI SUSHI.   It's a Japanese SUSHI restaurant.

I am Japanese. My father is a Japanese sushi chef. I know when I'm tasting good food representing my country. I think they are doing a pretty good job considering that they adjust for a Caribbean taste. 

I always enjoy my side dish when I dine at YOSHI SUSHI Restaurant.

I think the reason is because I just can't find the special ingredients used in Japanese cooking on this island. It is the little things, the attention to detail that reminds me of home and makes me happy!

Pictured below is "Spinach with Sesame Dressing".
This one just hit the spot! (I loved it!)
GOMA AE
TEMPURA
Pictured above is "Palm and Vegetable TEMPURA". My favorite vegetable is Pumpkin!

They surprised me with cucumber this day. I think they caught me off guard because in Japan we don't use them for Tempura. But it was good.

SPECIAL ROLL
And... who dosen't like these!? 

The roll above is "BBQ Eel and Palm". The lower is Tuna with Avocado. Although Japanese people do not use Avocado for Sushi this is a brilliant idea. I know many people don't like eating Eel because of it's shape. I would urge them to TRY! I introduced a friend to try BBQ Eel once and they loved it!

Are you hungry for SUSHI now?

MY CAYMAN EAT OUT Part1

Al La Kebab 1


I've decided to do a blog about restaurants in Cayman, so it can help people to decide where to eat. I don't know what the food is like at many restaurants yet, so this will give me a reason to go to different places to eat. Doesn't that sound exciting?

The first restaurant is Al La Kebab, they are located in two locations, one is in the Marquee Plaza by Seven Mile Beach and the other one is in Georgetown right in front of Scotia Bank.

The first photo is of their famous "Pita Wrap".
They also have a vegetarian menu.

The vegan menu is my "good friend" when I want to loose some weight, and I believe most ladies agree with that.  But I have something to say for those who want to control weight. (This is my personal theory so I might be wrong, but it works for me).   Meat itself won't make you gain weight. What causes us to gain weight is seasonings and dressings. Do you like ketchup, mayo, salty food and gravy?  Then I suggest that you to use half the amount you are use to the next time.  When I eat vegetables and cheese sandwich, I put black pepper and vinegar. No mayo. No other dressing. You can not trust labels that say "LOW CALORIE".  

Al La Kebab 2
This second photo is of their "Beef and Shrimp Skewers" with "Fruits Salad".  This was really good!

I don't know when I will do a Part 2, but I hope you enjoy my "Food" series in the future.

JAPAN ROCK ON!

As everybody knows Japan experienced worst earthquake in our history.
As Japanese who lives far from home, I felt pain.
My family is OK though. They lives far from location.

My good friends and wonderful Caymanian musician group "ThE iZ" made a song for Japan.
They have friends in Tokyo and even though we are far from them, we felt pain.

They made a song and we team Beneficial made a music video with Japanese subtitles.

It is still in production but I believe it will on youtube by weekend.


Just hoping that Japan won't have any more major after shock.


Wish this video will bring you smile in your face.


Love

Blast Weekend!

This weekend was very event full and blast for me!
Saturday's wedding was fun, yummy, happy and great.
One thing I learn from this wedding is; "No matter how much money you spend for this event, in the end of the day People make event!"
Great people gather together, then nothing can't go wrong.
It was very honor to share special day for this couple (friends of mine) and their family.
Thank you Neil and Galen!!

And Sunday's music video was a great experience for me.
My friend brought his director friend from Canada and I was his Assistant Director.
This little director has great passion and he is very easy to work with.
Our team has great working relationship so "easy to work with" is very important for us.
I believe including musicians and dancers, we all had a great time at Rum Point!
Weather was wonderful for music video too.
It was a bit windy but it helped for certain shot.
So Thank you and Big up for Eli (Director).

You will see this video on youtube in one or two month.
So keep your eyes on my blog page!!

How would you like to enjoy SUNSET?

Cayman is having lots of rain these days. I like rain but start missing SUN....
This was taken August 16th. It was my friend's birthday.  I remember telling him it will be a beautiful sunset day when I took him to lunch.

And tada-!!! See look at this sunset!

Cayman has lots of bar, restaurant and free spot you can enjoy sunset any style you want!

I like watching sunset by myself because no one can distract me. :P
Or watching sunset and have some nice cocktail at sunset bar.

How would you like to enjoy???
