An errand found @Kerry Beal and I in Markham yesterday. This is pretty close to the hub of Asian culture outside of Toronto proper. I had a place that I was hoping to visit but had not expected the chance to come up quite so soon. Donburi offers some options that one doesn’t usually find in most of the Japanese restaurants we have visited.
Tea as usual for Kerry and warm sake for me. A misunderstanding explains the two ochoko (cups).
We were each given a bowl of miso soup.
We shared four skewers:
Chicken heart, beef with ponzu sauce and pork toro.
Mentai chicken.
Beef short ribs don for Kerry.
Beef gyuu donburi For me. I opted for an onsen egg. Clearly the egg is fried!
(As an aside I was pleased to learn that my own rendition of beef gyudon was pretty close to this.)
