On Mother's Day, we were foolish enough to forgo making a reservation for dinner as we initially planned to have a nice family meal at home. After a long day of travelling back from our hometown Sitiawan, both mom and dad were exhausted so we decided to eat out anyway. And where, on this excessively commercialised day, could we have gotten a table without reservations?
I have heard rave reviews about Sumida from my parents (mom, especially) and couldn't wait to try this new Jap place. I mean, was it as great as Edo Ichi as my mom had mentioned so many times? Expectations were definitely high on this one.
Unagi set for the Dad. As per normal, it came with the Chawan Mushi, side veggies, a miso soup and a radish salad.
The little sister's fried rice wrapped in egg. I am not too sure of the Japanese name for this, but I reckon it's easily found on the menu. She loved this, even finished most of her vegetables. A mean feat for her, trust me.
And for my mom, she ordered the tempura rice set, which came with the same items as my dad's set. The tempura was really nicely done, I have to admit, as I also ordered the tempura udon pictured below.
Mine came with two giant prawn tempura, which equal to one really happy girl.
My mom's had one prawn but loads of vegetable tempura, including sweet potato, eggplant and some long beans. Tempting, but I already had my two huge prawns! Yummy they were indeed.
