Super SUSHI
On Saturday we went to SUMO - Sushi House in Rotterdam
We sat next to the Chef to watch the action... it was superb.
The choice is amazing, and beautifully prepared.
We started with Chicken Teriyaki, fish balls (which looked like tubes) with shitake mushrooms.
Then came the range of Sushi
The Nigiri Sushi is 1 to a portion, rice on the inside, seaweed on the outside
Maki Sushi is 4 to a portion, rice on the outside, seaweed and filling on the inside or vice versa
Handrolls/Temakis are the Japenese version if an icecream cone (quite large)
damn there's just too many to remember!?!
Various fillings from Fresh/Raw tuna/makrel, smoked salmon, water shrimp, avocado, cucumber. . . blah blah
I'm told the Green Tea was super nice, preferred the Sake myself. They had a rather impressive Sake dispenser (according to mule, this years must have luxury item!)
The price is 'all-in' at €15.50 per person (excluding drinks)
Arrive early (12noon) to avoid disapointment (open until 17.30)
SUMO - Schouwburgplein 11 — Rotterdam

5 minutes from Rotterdam Centraal Station, head for the square with the big red crane lights and the Pathe Cinema, and you'll see it at the back. (look for the sumo wrestler eating a bowl of food)

Slap up Birthday Meal
Posh nosh at the Oceaan Restaurant, Amsterdam.
Way back in April I took the recommendation of a friend who raves about this place. A little off the beaten track and tucked away within a floating 1960's estate. It really was impressive!
Great atmosphere, the staff were more than accommodating, even the chefs were quick to respond to all comments.
The kitchen was open plan making it easy to see your food being prepared. I think the fishes are a speciality. Any fish dish, they all looked good. The portions were generous and the price reasonable for the quality.
Definitely respectable enough place to take relatives & posh friends. It got rave reviews in various guides. I only found this out recently, it has no bearing on my impression of the restaurant. But you might be interested.
