So Good I Must Share It With You

After my first experience at Botan Japanese restaurant, I simply couldn't wait for the chance to go back there. Indeed, it didn't disappoint me. Love the dinner set there, with the variety of food on each set, it feels like I'm eating a buffet!!! The only description I could make out to intro to my friends is WOW, the food is just wow lor! Hahaha! I'm not a gourmet but I can tell the freshness of the sashimi, and the crunchiness of the tempura. 100000 likes! Definitely worth every dollars and cents. :)

Guess what's underneath that furnace-looking thing? (Okay, the name gave it away.) It's Italian spaghetti, cooked in Japanese steamed style. The portion is super generous, if you're not a big eater you better share!! Their smoked salmon comes in a chunk the size slightly smaller than my palm, not just the normal thin pieces! Though the place is on the pricier side, but excellent service by these kawaii hardworking Japanese ladies. They gave me and my friend a piece of homemade focaccia each when we paid our bill because they can tell how much we enjoyed it! How sweet is that right? Oh, did I mention they serve alcohol? Sake, wine, cocktail, beer. It's like a 居酒屋! This is the first time I'm sharing on burpple because this is totally the place that needs to be on your list! Great for a hangout with friends! :D

Recently, I had a terrible craving for this again, so off to Botan I went. As they had run out of tuna, swordfish was offered as a substitute but I declined, opting to have just the salmon and yellowtail. For some reason, the sesame dip was exceptionally delicious that night; slightly thicker in consistency. At $25++ (price has risen slightly), I still think this is one of the best around in the "raw fish in ricebowl" category.
