Lunch @ Asagao

So, keeping in mind I am heading back to a country that considers foreign food to be a kebap made with a different sauce, I am right into my Asian foodstuffs at the moment. Nevermind that a $20 sushi train bill could get be 40 kebaps and a drink when I get over there, I'm willing to sacrifice the cashola for some raw fish and noodur. This morning I spent approximately 98% of my working life deciding which variety of as-iaan to get. Pho almost had it - its a shitty day, so I was thinking about some city (shitty) house pho... steaming hot, full of noodur and bean sprouts... sex in a bowl. Two things stopped me. 1. I am a girl. It has been forced upon me that if I eat carbohydrates I will turn into a fatsowhale that will never be able to fit into overpriced jeans, therefore never attracting a mate, thus depriving the world of my progeny. 2. I had no one to go with.

As a result, I ended up at Asagao sushi train on Pitt Street with my good friend Wek. The problem with working next to Makato is that it destroys all other train experiences, the quality being as awesome as it is. So, I will preface this lunch review by saying Makoto = best, but in a ruining kind of way. We started with Miso, which was good but not misoey enough for my salty desires. Secondly, we got sashimi. Small was 15 clams - only salmon. It was sweeeeeet. Really good. Soy beans kind of sucked. Small serving, too cold and watery. I was all "Hey. These things cost you $2.50 a tonne. Dont spit in my cupcake and tell me its frosting." Finished off with those sushis wrapped in tofu & a sushi covered in plastic cheese (Weird, but in a Johnny Depp dressed as Edward Scissorhands kinda way. You know that it is fundamentally awesome, so you forgive the strangeness.).

All in all, 6/10. I would have gone 7 if I didn't know that Makoto is so much more kickass; and 5 if I wasn't trying to give them points for trying despite not being Makoto. Next time, its all about teriyaki chicken which the chick next to us got and looked like Johnny Depp covered in teriyaki sauce on a plate.
