Tokyo Family Restaurant / 東京ファミリーレストラン

Hi again everybody, today's intro to good cuisine comes courtesy of a place called "Tokyo Family Restaurant". This evening was a special event, one that was work-related though. One of our members recently got married and this was a little celebration for the newlyweds; however, most people do not like to have their pictures posted without permission, I'm only going to focus on the food!! As our group consisted twenty-plus people, food was served at intervals. Not exactly a set menu but quite filling. Also included was an all-you-drink menu including beer and cocktails. I was not familiar with this place, but the food was great. And although it wasn't included in our party menu, this restaurant also features a large variety of beers from around the world. I'll have to try some of them another time. And now to introduce the evening's menu.



For appetizers, we have on the left, mini sausage wrapped with
bacon, spicy eggplant, and a side of carrots.











On the right, we have our salad filled with lettuce, tomatoes,
cucumbers, olives, cheese, and covered with a vinaigrette dressing.









Here we have a Turkish-style brique served with tzatzki sauce (a sauce made with yogurt and dill), very delicious. Which was followed by a potato soup with chorizo.














Oh, and just in case you thought I might have had a little too much to drink, I settled for only two beers (Heineken) and a glass of Lemoncello with Tonic. And now for the entrees.





Now, here's something to my liking. Marinated chicken skewers which you add some lemon to. I didn't see the menu of this restaurant but there is no doubt in my mind that this was a serving of shish tawook, a favorite Lebanese dish of mine.






And the last dish to be served was this Southeast Asian specialty. But it appears nobody mixed in the extremely spicy red peppers which are still sitting on the side. I was already full by this time and only had a couple of fork fulls. Next time, I would like to come here to enjoy their world beers.
