thanksgiving
It's the time of the year again. Got back from hubby's parents about 2 hours ago. Lai Lai decided to have Thanksgiving today instead of Monday cause Lai Lai and Low Yeah were planning to go to Tennessee tomorrow morning, but they are not going now. We had to leave early though cause hubby was supposed to work his last shift at Bower. He just called from work and said they weren't even expecting him. What a screwup place!!! They told him just this past Wednesday that he had to come in Saturday night instead of working Thursday. I was pretty ticked off when I heard that cause it's a Thanksgiving weekend, and change of plan last minute is not a good thing. Couldn't say I was surpised though. They have changed the work schedule on him so many times that it's not funny. I am so glad that he left this shit place.

best sushi joint ever.
Yesterday, hubby and I went to Eaton Center to shop for him. He needed some dress shirts for his new job. We were planning to have Soon Tofu but decided to try Japango last minute. I have been talking about trying Japango forever after reading a review on Now magazine.
Japango is a very very small sushi joint. Only have around 20 seats. We were very early, around 5pm, so we have no problem getting a table. Hubby ordered the sushi deluxe dinner and I have Unagi Donburi and Hamachi sashimi. The dinner came with miso soup and salad. Everything was exceptional. OK, maybe not the tea. Miso soup tasted like miso soup and not some watered down version. The salad was exceptional. The dressing was not the typical Japanese salad dressing. It had lots of minced ginger in it. Lettuce leaves were fresh, not wilted down. I was so excited for my sashimi and main course after I tasted the salad and soup cause it's living up to the review. My hamachi sashimi came first. It's really fresh. But I would like the sashimi to be bigger. Ugagi Donburi was good too. Hubby's deluxe sashimi had 12 nigiri and 6 maki. The maki was not your standard fare like california rolls or cucumber rolls. It's shrimp tempura maki. Needless to say, the nigiri was really fresh.
I asked them about the omakase. It's 65/person. Now I have to go try it and have to bring my camera next time.
Japango is now my favorite Japanese restaurant. The only thing though, it's not cheap.
