Yupppppppppppppp.

Nobu desu.

After hearing alllllll ze hype about this restaurant.. WE FINALLY GET TO EAT THERE!


And because we are going to a Japanese restaurant,
Decided to take this opportunity to wear my Glamorous Jane dress, imported from Japan.

Photobucket

LOL.



We decided to go ala carte since we know what we want.
Feels more in control.
Later they serve what we hate how!


And so,

Photobucket


Our pick.

Photobucket

The sake.
Not sure what BF has picked but he said it's the sweeter one amoung the rest.
Can't help but I thought it tasted like antiseptic wipes even though the sake is not cheap sake!
Insult to the sake, BF said.
I prefer this other pink pink bottled sake that I've tried the other time with his friends. HMMMM.


And the food.

The everybody should know.

Edamame

Photobucket

The sea salt flake makes it taste so yummmmm.
Determine to make this next time!


Cold dishhhhes.

Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeño

Photobucket

One of their signature dish.
The sashimi is thinly sliced and the sourness from the jalapeno compliments it very well!

Sea Urchin

Photobucket

First time trying!
So I can't really say if it's fresh or not, yummier than other places or not.


Tiradito Sashimi

Photobucket

Use the lemon slices to form this after slurppinggg on the tako.

Photobucket

Guess you have pretty much guessed on how we thought about the dish!

Handroll

Photobucket

Bf's.
He said was ok only. Japan served much better ones!


Hot dishesssss.

The everybody said is a super yum one....

Black Cod with Miso

Photobucket

Agree too. Massive yum except the price.

Prawns with Spicy Garlic

Photobucket

Super boring so not worth it dish. Seriously.
I think I can cook better. LOL.
But really la. Asians please do not order this. Not in a Japanese restaurant!
It's nice but soooo chinesey food feel.

Wagyu Gyoza with Goma Ponzu

Photobucket

Damn yum! The gyoza skin is smooth and not too soft! Like got the chewy feel.

Tenderloin Toban Yaki

Photobucket

Still sizzling when it was served. The tenderloin is tender and they serve it medium-rare. Remove the beef the moment it's being served so it doesnt cook further!


Palate Cleanser

Photobucket

Then, my favourite momentttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

DESSERTS.
nomnomnomnomnommmm.

I couldnt decide and therefore I settled for

Nobu tasting plate
– a selection of Nobu’s finest desserts

Photobucket

Seeee that hand? Bf's! He couldnt wait to indulge into his

Mochi

Photobucket


Evidence of who's the real pig in da house.


Photobucket


In conclusion,
Nobu is a pleasant place with nice ambiance.
Can try.
Not too much of a wow especially if you are happy with simple fresh Japanese food.
Don't really think I will go back again.

I strongly feel that if you are after good Japanese food, there are other better places, even in Melbourne.
Not that the food is bad. I just find that it is too pricey unless you want to try something out of the ordinary sort of Japanese food.


Anyhow, glad to have picked Nobu to mark our anniversary.
At least it's our first time together visiting this "omg must try" restaurant.

Like our trip to Vue De Monde.

Photo taken after Bf commented "WAH WHY YOUR RING SO BLING."

Then,
I excitedly urged him to snap a photo of me with the blingssss.

PS// I personally prefer the blurer version. See below.
