ooooo.... vareshe February 22 2005, 17:19:47 UTC

ooo, pen pen put much effort into this post! it has a lj cut and everything in it. :p~~~ now you can show jenny what you meant by food porn. :p

holy, did we eat 10 plates? i think it was more like.. um.. 8? i forget. :p and the crabs and oysters were much more than 100 calories! just the clarified butter was well over that. :p i think the biggest difference with this visit was as we discussed earlier, we went for a more well balanced meal rather than OD'ing on heavy oily fish and the sushi. i really would like some of the mousse and cheesecake now. :(

whoops...I meant your cholesterol. I will edit the post.

:( :( :( :( :(

good thing i spilled the butter towards the end. :p

yeah I was worried I would have to call 911 if you drank that cup of butter.

you really are crazy for butter...I was shocked when you actually dipped your crab meat in the spilt butter 8)

Another food post! You and vareshe are to be feared santoki February 22 2005, 20:23:20 UTC

Why is that coffee cake green? And this post is cruel. I've been crazing this shit for weeks. Damn...

ah yes...it was some good shit...You know how with most buffets the food all tastes alike because they were cooking in the same wok or oven with the same oils and spices. That was so not the case with Toda. mmmmm...definitely one of my top meals I have had this year.

whoops...see I don't take the proper care in putting together my posts...that green thing was green tea cheece cake which was super tasty and creamy as well...

the coffee mouse is that chocolate thing in the background and the red item was a nicely tart raspberry mouse that offset the sweetness of the other desserts...

you should come down...gives us an excuse to go back Todai

oh and the weird brown spot in the middle of the cheesecake was a glob of red bean paste. i thought it wasn't necessary. :p it was a good thing wes grabbed two slices when they first put the cake out, b/c it got raped several minutes later. :p

oh the macro shots on that camera are impressive, especially the last picture of the cheesecake. MAN I'M HUNGRY. but we are ordering pizza at the moment.

semiwestern February 23 2005, 06:00:09 UTC

its not the camera, its the photographer :p

You do like your cakes...ever have alden merrell cheesecake; they make my favorite cheesecakes.

if your having a new york syle pie, take some picts so I can live vicariously through you

jayamei February 23 2005, 19:27:34 UTC

*petpet*. ok its the photographer.

oh no i haven't had this alden merrell cake. must look it up..

didnt have a new york style pie. had dominos. josh says their thin crust is thinner than NY style. i dsagree. one day we will test this theory with a pizza showdown.

vareshe February 23 2005, 02:10:00 UTC

haha, ok i read this post a second time and noticed some amusing things. :p

After a fair bit of cajoling she convinced me that Todai would be the best bet.

more like i sat there embarassed and guilty for wanting to eat buffet again! :P

We pulled into Todai around 8:30 and bolted into the restaurant. Not even bothering to sit down we rushed to the buffet lines.

i distinctly remember laughing about this, b/c right after i had finished hanging my jacket on the back of the chair, i turned around and you had already ran off to the buffet lines! you totally were on a mission, i had to scurry after you. :p
