But I’ve got a pot of Innocent Thai curry going in the office microwave
And it cost you about £4.50 from Sainsbury’s, didn’t it? Trust me, this is well worth getting your coat on for: the chilled, Zen-like vibe of Sapporo Teppanyaki in the daytime is serenity itself.
Plus you won’t have to listen to Tristram from IT going on about his new synth and how he's got a gig in The Shipping Forecast.
Tom Yum
It certainly is. Choose from chilli beef noodles; salmon fillet grilled with a mirin glaze in miso soup; teriyaki pork loin; seasonal greens and more.
Calm, caaaalmTOM YUM?
Oh I see. Yes, that’s on the menu too. A very Thai experience to mess with your head. Here it is in the picture. On this occasion the seafood version although you can also have duck or chicken.
What be lurking in there?
Queen scallops, prawns, seabass and salmon all leaping around in deep, swirling sea of fresh chillies, lemongrass, galangal, lime leaves, coriander and noodles. The broth is a big volcanic brew of hot, spicy, and spanking fresh ingredients. The shoal of seafood and fish holds its texture, and then there’s those noodles…
Udon?
Yes, nearly finished.
No, I meant the variety of noodle.
You can have udon or ramen noodles or even rice - if you must. Just remember to slurp them up like the Japanese salaryman who is to be found consuming this sort of stuff for breakfast, dinner and tea at noodle bars at every station on the Tokyo underground before passing out on the train.
Verdict
Super bowl.
