Picture of the Day: Chawanmushi

Highly recommend the chawanmushi at Yuji's


Last night we went to a family friend's milestone birthday party at a Japanese restaurant called Yuji's From Japan on Alma and 4th Avenue.

It's a small place and the birthday girl's husband booked out the whole place for the evening.

The family-run restaurant has the father out front manning the sushi bar, while his son prepares the cooked items.

We ate lots of food from several slices of sashimi like toro to sushi such as eel, tamago, uni and ikura. There was also tempura -- prawn and potato -- and karage.

But perhaps the highlight was the chawanmushi, where inside the silky smooth egg custard were pieces of white fish, scallop and prawn. 

The kitchen doesn't normally serve 25 people at once, and the steamer could only hold six portions each time. So I waited very patiently for mine and savoured every bite!
