ippudo, Pavilion

Everything went so well, not until the fanflyer was distributed to the 3 of us (my mom, sis and me). It was written that we will get a free Chashu Tsukune Teppan with any ramen order whenever you flashed the fanflyer to the staff upon ordering. And so, dinner was settled.

We dine in in Ippudo, for the first time. Yea, just for the free food, I said. I was dumbed enough to hold the fanflyer on hand so that they would know what im coming for. It was crwoded in there and so we waited for a minute or so. The staff there were friendly enough to lead us to our table when our turn came. I was impressed as they combined both bars and this restaurant in one. So you can go for food or drinks, or maybe both? Maybe I would go for some shots when I'm 21. Everybody has to do that once in a lifetime, right?

We ordered a few dishes and of course a bowl of Ramen, just to get the free Chashu Tsukune Teppan.

 My sis went for salmon with rice, and I was craving for  gyoza (chicken dumpling). I love all of them so much except for my order. It was a not quite satisfying decision, although it satisfied my cravings. I expected it to amazed my taste bud, but it didn't. It's frightening how amazing was that salmon with rice. We wanted to order for another bowl, because it was too little to share. I guess it's because it's a japanese restaurant, and everything comes in a small portion. They have not much choices to choose from, and I think that what makes them amazing.

I demanded desserts to give a wrapped up for the dinner that day. We ordered panna cotta and waffles with ice cream. (the food photos in the menu make them look amazing and of course tempting.) And, I got trapped easily by vision. 

I love the panna cotta there. It had caramel taste (yes, it reminds me of popcorn!) topped with tiny little blueberries. It's soft and everything melts when u placed it into ur mouth. It was so nice till we didn't left a single bite over there. It's difficult to convince others, but we did ate up the dried orange. 

The waffle with ice cream was just normal you know, waffles with vanilla ice cream.

Anyways, others were so so good! And so, we visited here the second time.
