Tonight, we went to another sushi restaurant, Sushi-Te. Not much different about this place, except that we sat at the bar, and the chef served us on banana leaves. It was amusing that all of the staff would literally yell a greeting when anyone came into the restaurant. We had a really excellent sushi roll that had crab meat plus scallions, and one of the sushi platters that we ordered came with this huge piece of eel. Normally, eel is served just like any other type of sushi – a more or less bite-sized piece with some rice. This one was about 4 bites, approximately 1 foot long – I think it was the whole filet (if that’s the correct word) of the eel, with rice under one bite’s worth, and the rest just eel. It was good just like the eel is normally, it was just an interesting presentation. There was also a sushi roll that consisted of the standard rice and seaweed, but was topped with marscapone cheese. It was savory and creamy, not sweet like you’d think of marscapone in an Italian dessert. Very tasty.
