July 31, 2007: Misuzu's

dmargster's recommendation, then nosotros navigated our agency over to Albert Park to effort it out.

Cindy's interrogation had also told us that nosotros needed to book, fifty-fifty on a Tuesday eve - indeed, when nosotros rang them they stressed to us that if nosotros were to a greater extent than than xx minutes belatedly we'd lose our table. Sure enough, when nosotros arrived the house was inundation amongst people - it's a proficient sign when a house is inwards such demand on a schoolhouse night. We squeezed our agency upstairs to our tabular array together with settled inwards for the evening. The carte du jour is well-stocked amongst vegetarian choice - a broad diverseness of starters together with likely one-half a dozen mains. Japanese nutrient is unremarkably a combat for those of us who don't consume fish, then it was prissy to run into then many choices.

Emma together with Simon were sort plenty to portion the large vegetarian entree platter ($22.80) amongst us. Unfortunately, the photograph didn't function out rattling well. Despite our inadequate chopstick skills, nosotros feasted on a selection of sushi, petty hot tasty things, closed to assort of dried sugariness white patato salad, bits of tofu together with diverse other bits together with pieces. It was tremendous - the sugariness white patato inwards item was an strange together with impressive dish. It was a fairly gigantic plate of nutrient to larn us started, but nosotros were given plenty fourth dimension to residuum betwixt finishing it upwards together with the arrival of our mains.

Which was lucky, because when they came, they were gigantic. Cindy ordered the tempura soba ($13.80) - seasonal tempura vegetables inwards soy-based soup amongst buckwheat soba noodles. Look at how high they piled that soup! The tempura vegies were plentiful together with delicious together with the buckwheat noodles were thick together with tasty. There was, of course, also much for Cindy, but what she managed to consume she was rattling impressed with.

I opted for the vegetable don ($13.80): tempura veges stewed amongst finely sliced onion inwards a layered free-range egg omelette. It was terrific - total of vegies without beingness overly heavy, a generous slathering of egg together with closed to tasty rice at the bottom. Again, it was a ridiculously hearty repast - I managed to larn through it all, but at that spot was no room left for me to assistance Cindy out.

Simon together with I shared a prissy bottle of wine, Cindy knocked dorsum a ramune (Japanese old-style lemonade) together with Emma had closed to assort of tea. The service was pretty good, the atmosphere was neat (the mural behind our tabular array was all kinds of weird) together with the repast was remarkably affordable for the quality. So brand a booking together with effort it out - Misuzu's is a fine option. Even if it is far, far away across the other side of the river.
