London Spring 2011 Day 12 : Dining @ MAKI Japanese Restaurant, Richmond

ocha - Japanese Green Tea

this one, so so

this yakitori (chicken) still not bad

Date: 20052011

Restaurant: Maki Japanese Restaurant

Address: 147-149 Kew Road

TW9 Richmond

OK

this is the restaurant open by Hongkey I guess coz overheard the staff were talking in Cantonese

when I purposely tested the waitress I want ocha (おちゃ) - Japanese Green Tea as my drink,

the waitress gave me the expression of never know such thing

when I asked they got served chawanmushi (ちゃわんむし) - steam egg

the waitress asked me what is that and I , as the customer, had to explain what is that dish =.=" and of coz, they dun have this kind of simple thing

as a service line, u not even know the basic dish or drink of the line u involve

this was very disappoint me

If you wanted to try out Japanese food own by native Japanese, this one is not ur choice

quite disappointed as I was not able to try out the real Japanese restaurant that open by native during London.

Went to a French restaurant that intro in a book after work

we reached there quite early as we were the 2nd group of customer there

we order Foie Gras (鹅肝) as our starter

and follow by some main dishes which I totally 4got the names and type

I checked the menu and found out current menu is for July not for May

and paid for £39.50 for 3 courses (starter, Main and dessert)

we did enjoy the food as its really taste good :)

Don't miss out if you would like to try yummy French food

The main dishes overall also quite nice, just I could not remember them.

Note: A discretionary gratuity of 12.5% will be added to the total bill.
