I’m not really good at being celebrated on my birthday, but I guess I had more opportunity this year. It started with Arthur’s happy birthday mail, then Ooshi took me out for lunch on Fri, hubby on Fri dinner and Sat dinner, had cake at Satura on Sunday, then Derek and tAK took me to lunch on Mon. :9 I also got many emails facebook wall writing, etc… Stupid me leaving birthday viewable to everyone on Facebook and Mixi, but … I still appreciate it

Since I like celebrating my birthday quietly, what I did was to spend more time with hubby. We went to Nami Nami on Fri dinner. I don’t consider this as birthday thing, but I’d better mention it cause it was expensive O:) Too bad food was just okay compare to its price :S We also had to wait for a long time (~45 minutes), so hubby ate a bun while waiting cause he was too hungry… resulting in him not being hungry.

Saturday dinner at Gochi was awesome though. It’s my new favorite restaurant – I like it more than Tanto. I think Gochi has more variety. One thing I didn’t like is probably that the place was too noisy. There were several group in the semi-private room, and people there were just so noisy. Understandable, but still.

	白魚のてんぷら = salangidae tempura. o__O The English name sounds like Indonesian or something… This was the only thing I took picture of from Nami Nami. The presentation was pretty.
	ひらめのカルパッチョ = hirame no karupaccho, flatfish/flounder carpaccio. Hubby’s most favorite dish for the night.
	アサリの酒蒸し? = asari no sakamushi, manila clam in Japanese rice wine, I think. We didn’t taste much of wine…
	揚げだしサトイモ = age-dashi satoimo, deep fried taro in dashi soup. Deep fried tofu in dashi soup is more popular over all, but using taro was somewhat different and it was pretty good.
	アンキモ = ankimo, goosefish’s liver. Hubby orders it whenever the restaurant have it – his first encounter with Ankimo was at Oyaji Restaurant, and it seems he still likes the one at Oyaji the best.
	ビール・カシスソーダ = beer & crème de cassis + soda.
	牡蠣 = kaki, oysters. This is strictly for hubby… I HATE oysters >_<;
	揚げナス豆腐 = age nasu tofu, deep fried eggplant and tofu with miso sauce. :9 my most favorite. the miso sauce was greaaaaat.
	ジャコご飯 = Japanese anchovy and rice in claypot. We loved the crispy part of the rice :9 We also ordered dashi soup, which was good, too.
	和風ハンバーグ = Japanese style hamburg steak. This was the only thing we didn’t like for the night… It was a little sour, probably because of citrus sauce… Meh.
	We ate a lot, and this was our bill.
	バナナ・メープルシロップ・シュークリーム = banana and maple syrup cream puff. I tried this because this was a new addition in Satura cake. A little too sweet for my taste.
	I think it’s cappuccino… I liked mocha better .__. Hubby and I have been going to Satura more often now. I love their cake <3
