Japanese Dinner @ Sen Tsuru *
The last time we went to our neighbourhood Japanese restaurant, it was under a totally different name and that was years back. Seeing that Sen Tsuru is really near to home, we decided to have dinner here last week. Japanese food is always a pleasure and I was definitely in the mood for some yummy Chuka Lidako!

Inside really felt like an authentic Japanese restaurant somewhere in the heart of Tokyo. I was happy with the ambience and spent the first five minutes snapping photographs using my Sony Cyber-shot before settling down to browse through the extensive menu. I love restaurants with extensive menus but the downside is that it's hard to choose what I want. ![ihikhik ihikhik](http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/71.gif)

We've tried dining in one of the private rooms before, which offers patrons the traditional way of dining in a Japanese setting complete with slippers to slip into as you sit on the cushion provided. Cosy right? Anyway, the rooms were apparently reserved although I did not see any patrons using them while we were there! ![Smiley](http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-basic/chin.gif)

For starters, we ordered our favourite baby octopus! Thinly-sliced cool cucumber laced between the sweet, succulent marinated baby octopus equals to heaven in your mouth! ![Smiley](http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-eatdrink020.gif)

After much thinking and changing of mind, I settled on the Unagi Gozen set, which is eel served in 3 different ways, WOW! I was enticed by the menu description so eel it was! The set came with fruit for dessert, miso soup, baby octopus and sticky soft Japanese rice. ![Smiley](http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-eatdrink026.gif)

B is no Unagi fan and he tried this first eel dish with much hesitation. In the end, he surprised himself by liking it more than me! I enjoyed this one too but my favourite is the one that's coming up next! ![Smiley](http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-basic/thumbsup.gif)

Out of the three eel dishes served, this one takes the cake! The eel was perfectly grilled, juicy and tender; spiced and slightly sweetened to utter perfection! ![Smiley](http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-eatdrink002.gif)

Last but not least was the grilled eel sushi with seaweed string. It was yummy but it was my least favourite among the three.

I was curious to try the Japanese Pepper, which turned out to be a big mistake; it was not good at all! The Chilli Pepper was delightful though ... as usual! ![ihikhik ihikhik](http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/71.gif)

I like that the Sen Tsuru placed priority on customer's comfort, as seen from the extensively-decorated room, made to produce a cosy Japanese setting and feel. It worked beautifully and can you spot the Japanese doll in this picture below?
B ordered the Hotate Karayaki & Tori Teriyaki or Simmered Scallop & Chicken Teriyaki set. We both agreed that my set was undoubtedly tastier!
The bill came up to almost RM100. It's a little pricey to dine here so it won't be a weekly affair for us but when we do visit Sen Tsuru again, I'm definitely gonna order the Unagi Gozen set. Truly yummy, two thumbs up! ![tepuktangan tepuktangan](http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/41.gif)
