I've never been to teppanyaki before because i was never interested in the cooked Japanese styled meats, but I've always been curious of how the experience would be like.
We ended up getting there quite late because it was so hard to find any parking in Newtown around dinner time. but by the time we got there the place was already packed out with all of Stella's friends, but everyone was so nice and made room for us to sit :)
We got a set menu which was $39 per person which included a little salad, a basket of fried tempura, miso soup, fried rice and food that is cooked and prepared right in front of us while you eat, as well as vanilla ice cream for dessert.
The little salad, this was really nice.
fried tempura
During our dinner the chef would interact with us and ask us to join in on little catching games..
he set up enough eggs, explained that he would give us all a bowl to try and catch the raw eggs with.
A lot of people were succesful.
Sadly i wasnt :(
and got my 'dry clean' only dress ruined :(
there were other little games such as catching cooked omelet in our mouths, catching a whole bowl of fried rice and Stella got egg thrown all over her since she was the birthday girl.

And a little message just for Stella.
Happy Birthday Stella!
Little party gifts, stella had stayed up the whole night before just to make everyone some macarons :)
they were lovely as well, lychee & rose flavour
we then had more dessert at WowCow Yogurt
It was very tasty :)

Girls only =D
My opinion of Teppanyaki was that you pay for the service and entertainment, i wasn't able to eat the food, which is only just me and my opinion, i dislike a lot of stir-fry and fried food, so the only thing i ate there was the salad and oddly enough, the vanilla ice cream.
The service was so friendly, because Stella had around 30 people at her dinner that also didn't turn up at the same time (sorry) they still managed to give us everything ordered in the banquet menu.
our other friend came extremely late that she didn't get any of the food that was cooked together, so the chefs made her something special off the menu for her. which she also didn't get enough time to eat so she had to get it wrapped and take away.
And the entertainment was great! watching everyone scream and laugh over getting egg all over each other. it was lots of fun and very messy.
White chocolate and berry tiramisu
This week i had 3 mini cake request for a lovely friend.
We kept a bit of the cake for ourselves, and because it was so yummy i thought i'd make another one because the first one didn't last =P
And i got roses and a thank you card for my effort :) that's so sweet of her.
its just so different to actually get something back in return.
but i guess that's why i really do appreciate the people that make that extra effort for me.
shes so cute, her expression changed in 2 seconds for some reason
