Back in early April for an early birthday meal for Jo's birthday at AKA Sushi on Bold Street
Sushi Set A (16 pcs) - 3 Salmon sashimi, 3 tuna sashimi, 3 salmon nigiri, 3 tuna nigiri, 4 salmon rolls & seaweed salad - £18.99
Rainbow Roll - Salmon, tuna, seabass, crabstick, avocado & cucumber - £12.99
Chicken gyoza (6 pcs) - £6.99
Seaweed salad - £4.50
Beef ramen - £9.99
Salt & pepper chicken - £7.50
Tonkatsu crispy pork - £7
Sushi was good as always! Not a fan of the gyoza anymore prefer when they used to do it steamed rather than fried. Shouldn't have got the salt& pepper chicken - got it last time for my birthday and it was just dry and fatty bits of chicken. Jacob got the tonkatsu crispy pork his favourite thing to get - it's nice but really dry.
We were supposed to go to Big Bowl Noodle which I still haven't tried but ended up in our favourite place AKA Sushi as always!
The week after I went to visit Kelly in Manchester which also happened to be Manchester Marathon day which was a bad idea as the main road out of her house was the last mile of the race! So was a nightmare to get near her house and park up. But I made it eventually. We went for dinner at this sushi place Ring Sushi Hotfood which was down the road from where she lives in Chorlton
Chicken gyoza (4 pcs) - £4.80
Gave us prawn crackers. The gyozas weren't that nice
Sushi platter (28 pcs) - Nigiri, hosomaki, California maki, salmon sashimi - £30
The sushi was alright not the best I've had - the fish didn't seem that fresh. The place was dead there was only 1 family when we arrived then another table turned up when we were leaving. Was just this one guy who looked like he was the server and the chef making the food! It was pretty quick like we didn't wait long for the food but we were over charged which I didn't realise till I got back to Liverpool. The bill came to £40 but the only other thing we got was Kelly's diet coke so no way that was like £6 odd! It was weird as it was cash only or bank transfer and they didn't take card. Wouldn't recommend or go again
I finally met Trigg Kelly and Josh's dog properly. 1.5 year old German wirehaired pointer. He is massive and really well behaved.
Went to lunch with Danielle today on Allerton Road. Was meant to be another sushi lunch but it just wasn't meant to be as the 2 sushi restaurants weren't open! 2 new ones opened up but one doesn't open Sunday's and the other doesn't open till 4pm so that was a let down. We ended up going a really random place Pierre Griffes French cafe bistro
Danielle
Smoked salmon, scrambled egg on toasted croissant - £10.99
Smoked salmon omelette (no cheese) - £10.99
Wasn't expecting my omelette to come with toast or salad. The omelette was alright a bit burnt - was massive and definitely not what I had in mind that I was going to have for lunch today but we were put on the spot a bit as the guy came over to take our order and I said we needed a couple more minutes then he came back and said the kitchen was closing so if we wanted food we needed to order now so I kinda panicked. The other option was eggs royal. When we walked in he should have said they were doing last orders and that they were shutting soon and we probably would have went somewhere else.
After we walked down to Dovedale Road to Laura's Deli and Wine and I got a pistachio matcha latte which is a game changer. It was SO nice my new favourite drink - all matcha lattes should have pistachio in it! Danielle got an iced matcha, coconut and vanilla latte. The vanilla was really strong and couldn't taste the matcha. Did taste like eating a cake.
Will eventually try the 2 new sushi places on Allerton Road and catch them when they're open. Strange how no-where was open even though it was a bank holiday and the weather was so nice today so they were definitely losing out.
