Izakaya Liverpool

I went to Izakaya on Castle Street for sushi as my birthday meal but service was awful and the people on the table next to us & behind us waited an hour before their food came so ended up getting their meals for free it was that bad. They were so short staffed, the place is only small but they should have been prepared for it since it was bank holiday, the weather was so nice & Liverpool had been playing. 

We got the Sake Nigiri - salmon on rice

Philadelphia Uramaki - salmon, cream cheese, cucumber

Aubergine Dragon Uramaki - green beans, takuan, kanpyo, carrot, chives, aubergine, miso & agave sauce, hot sauce

Hoi Sin Duck Temaki - duck leg confit, hoi sin sauce, cucumber, spring onion, sesame seeds

Looking back now at the photo I've just realised we ordered the Tuna Maki & that didn't come but we got charged for it. The sushi looks nice but it really wasn't as good as it looks. The hand roll was basically empty inside like 2 slices of duck, 2 slices of cucumber & spring onion with hardly any hoi sin sauce. 

The wasabi on the side - not that we were going to eat it was like toothpaste/chewy defo not how wasabi is meant to be like.

Mushroom Vegetable Gyoza - looks so unappetising 

David got the small squash katsu curry with sticky rice & picked veg.

So disappointed with the food & sushi definitely wasn't a good choice to eat before drinking & was definitely still hungry after it! We waited ages to even get the bill. 

I know that sushi takes time to make as you need to make it fresh on the go but there was only 1 chef making sushi when all the tables were full! Definitely won't be going back again. David told them it was my birthday & they said they don't do anything for birthdays not even a cake or a free drink! We should've went next door to Santa Maluco for pizza at least that would have been filing & the service looked much quicker!

My Birthday

Last night I went out for food & drinks for my birthday with Danielle & David. David was home for the bank holiday weekend - I'd like to say for my birthday but more for his nephew's birthday but he make it out so I guess it was for mine too!

We went to The Clubhouse in L1 for a cocktail then headed to Castle Street for food. We went to Izakaya the sushi place again. It wasn't good at all though. I'll be doing a separate blogpost for that for how bad it was!

After we went to Matou at the pier head for drinks.

Matou's outdoor seating has the best views! We definitively should have come here for food! Would've been full for sure. 

After this we went into town. Went to Maccies around half 1 as we were starving. Ended up home after 3am. Danielle's boyfriend Matt had to pick us up as we waited about 40 minutes to try & get an Alpha taxi but just couldn't get one. We used the app & rang them up, they didn't seem to be trying to get us one! Eventually got in had about 3/4 hours sleep & was back in the gym this morning for circuits. I was fine just a bit tired slightly crashing now trying to write this post but couldn't nap!

Head to toe in Zara!

I had a really good birthday thank you Danielle & David for last night! I'm dragging it out even longer as I'm going go-karting with Kelly & Callum from work next weekend finally!

Got the best birthday present off Callum from work, he surprised me with The Killers Hot Fuss vinyl on Thursday in work. I don't even own a record player & currently have 2 vinyls just for show now! 

Kelly got me the best birthday card as well as I have a real issue with age!

Souk Liverpool

Kelly's home for the weekend so I had early birthday celebrations and went to Souk on Bold Street for lunch. It only opened recently and was the only place that wasn't full on Bold Street but the menu looked good so we thought we'd give it a try.

  

Danielle with her strawberry milkshake

Smoothie of the day - Mango, avocado & banana I think it was

I was suppose to get poached egg, avocado on waffle but they got my order wrong & put it on bread so asked did I want it doing again but I just asked for the waffle on the side which was actually what I wanted! Don't think I would've liked egg & avocado on a sweet waffle. We did think the waffle was going to be savoury but it was sweet so I'm so glad they did get it wrong! 

I've never had asparagus as a breakfast thing but apparently it's common that people have it with egg. The asparagus was a bit over done & soggy. 

Kelly got the Mediterranean platter with all the hummus.

Danielle got avocado, smoked salmon & poached egg

Souk was really nice but service was a bit slow considering there was only another 2 tables when we arrived & when we left we were the only ones in there. 

In the evening they have pizza & pasta which I'll be back to try as they do oven baked pizzas with 25% off. 

Thanks Kelly for brunch! More birthday celebrations for my actual birthday next weekend!

Family Meal

Floral Tee - Zara (can't even see the flowers)

Green Leather Skirt - New Look

Cut Out Boots - Zara

Went to a family meal at Tai Pan tonight for Uncle George's 70th. One of them family members you only see at wedding's & not completely sure on how you're related kind of meals. It was nice had duck & pancakes to start which we actually missed cos we turned up late (my dad's fault) then had siu mai's & prawn dumplings, salt & pepper ribs, 3 different noodle dishes & fried rice. Unusual menu but food was nice.

Not really had the chance to blog as I haven't been doing anything worth blogging about lately just working everyday! Birthday in 2 weeks which will probably be the next post but even that I don't think I'm doing anything good for it!
