The friends went to check out Al Solito for dinner a few months back, liked it, and generously scored us all a reservation for another awesome dinner together. No thanks to the recent rainy season, we've been staying in loads more or lugging the dog everywhere, which limits our venue choices. Meals like this aren't often had these two months, and are precious.
Started off with oysters, calamari and a small Japanese-style pizza. I was told that the chicken karaage was very good too. That grilled cabbage with bacon was soooo juicy and tasty. Blanched and grilled. Mmmm. There were pork loin with garlic, and a 200-g slab of sliced wagyu beef, both of which totally filled us up.
We shouldn't have done three plates of pasta. That killed us. Skip the Neapolitan — it's done the weird sweet style that children like. The creamy mentaiko pasta was decent and the uni pasta was surprisingly delightful. The man still ordered crab croquettes! Wahahaah. GREEDY.
What a lovely meal with the best company. I've been rather wary of Piu M since their standards crashed that week, and haven't bothered searching for another 'replacement'. Al Solito is a wonderful alternative. Opted for wine over sake tonight. I couldn't deal with sake again so soon this week. HAHAHA. But a highball to start the meal with is always welcomed.
