Nanbantei (Kushiyaki)

なんとなくそんな気がしていましたが、週末お料理担当の夫、今日もお料理をする気分でなかったらしく南蛮亭を予約していました。枝豆、しそ巻き(わたしには豚肉の臭みが強くて食べられず、夫に食べてもらいます)、餃子(2オーダー)、トマト巻き、つくね、おくら巻き、トウモロコシ。最後にわたしはガーリックライス、夫は白玉ぜんざい。ビール3本。

I had a feeling this may happen, but during the afternoon my husband booked Nanbantei for dinner for tonight – I guess he didn’t feel like cooking although he “usually” cooks on weekends.  (I think he books Nanbantei or Jamie’s Italian more and more often for Sundays these days, though.)  We ordered Edamame, Shiso-maki (I don’t like this one as the pork is too gamey for me but my husband likes it so I ask him to eat mine, too), tomato-maki, chicken balls, Okra-maki, sweet corn.  Then at the end I had garlic rice and my husband had sweet red bean dessert.  3 bottles of beer beer between 2 of us.

ここはなぜかあまり日本人のお客さんを見かけないのですが、今日はどうかな?と見回していたら、お友達ご家族発見!そして、しばらくしてふと見たら、もう1組お友達家族発見(笑)。狭い店内に(お店はお部屋2つに分かれていますが、わたしたちはカウンターがある方のカウンター席に座っていました)2組もお友達ご家族がおられてびっくり。

By some reason, I don’t often see Japanese customers in this restaurant and I was wondering if there were any looking around the restaurant, then I saw my friend and her family!  After a while I saw another friend and her family!  I was sitting at the corner of the restaurant at the counter so I wasn’t able to see them well.  The restaurant is divided into 2 rooms and each room isn’t very large so I was very surprised to see 2 friends and their families in one room!
