Torisho Taka

Went back to Coffee Bar K for drinks but made a wrong choice with a 1989 vintage italian wine...the taste was not to my liking unfortunately. NOT BAD tasting, just it tasted so mellow that it doesn't seem to justify its idling for the past 19 years. =P


And so i was told that to improve the mixing of the wine with oxygen... the bartender heated the wine first before pouring it out... Maybe it was to compensate the less than expectation taste of the red wine, we were presented with better bar snacks than previously. *wink*




Proceeded to Torisho Taka at Gallery Hotel for dinner thereafter. Torisho Taka was from the same group as Aoki, the famous yakitori shop at Scots Shaw centre. We ordered....Well, I would prefer Aoki and the nameless place. But Torisho Taka was not too bad, really. There is only one chef grilling all the items and he did it very patiently and well too. Moi was blown over by Taka's own signature ramen, made of chicken broth soup. The taste was really plain and refreshing in comparison to the oily yaki-mono. So a SUPER plus point. Well, well, can't help it, Moi, a ramen craze.

The goose liver was a little let down. It was too soft and hardly grilled...
