This evening, my family and my good friend Josh went out for dinner to a Japanese restaurant. It was a teppanyaki style place where they cook the food on these giant metal cooker things. Looking at the menu, I couldn’t see anything that sounded “normal” that I would eat. Mum ended up helping choose for me and I ordered Teppanyaki Chicken, and my friend picked that too. I really didn’t know what to expect because I have never been to a Japanese restaurant like this before.

After waiting for 10 minutes or so, a bowl arrived with salad on it. It wasn’t the typical type of salad I am use to seeing, instead it was lettuce with some weird, crispy thing on top with a funny sauce. I wasn’t game to try it so I gave it to Dad, who later on said that it had a strange taste. Then came another bowl with two deep fried balls on it. My friends asked the waiter what it was and she replied Octopus. Neither of us were willing to eat that so we passed it on to my mother who did eat them, despite the look on her face when she took a bite. After that came a bowl of some Japanese soup. It had a weird flavour that I would describe as a soy sauce like taste. I didn’t really want this either so I passed it on. Then finally the main meal came. It was chicken, along with bean sprout, onions, green pepper and tofu, along with a bowl of rice. I didn’t eat any of the weird stuff, only the rice and some of the chicken. I decided I didn’t want to eat any of this so I just left it. The rest of my family didn’t think much of their meals too so we paid and left.

As we were going home, we stopped at Dominoes for some pizzas. We got 3 pizzas, 2 Meat Lovers and a Hawaiian. When we got home, all of us got into them. The pizzas were all cleaned up in no time. From this experience, I don’t think I am going to go to another place with foreign food, or at least not for a long while. I think I will stick with what I am familiar with and know that I will eat. Its weird to think people actually like to eat this stuff that I couldn’t even touch. This was probably one of the worst meal outings in a long time!
