On Wednesday, February 10, 2010, Di Yin and I <a target=_blank 
href="../2009_12/index.3.html#japanese_bbq">returned</a> to the 
all-you-can-eat (and drink) Japanese BBQ restaurant.  Sorry, I didn't 
have my camera.  We went for the pricey selection and ate boneless short 
ribs, assorted vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, banana (good grilled), 
fish (some kind of white fish that we grilled ourselves (as with the 
other items I listed before this)), salad (still delicious), salmon 
sashimi, assorted sushi rolls, bibimbap, cucumber kimchi, chawanmushi, 
and Japanese seaweed soup (Di Yin eats this when she's sick; I can see 
why: it's appealing and soothing).  I think that's it.  We drank plum 
wine, orange juice, and oolong tea.  I did the grilling (rather well, if 
I do say do myself).  <br/> Incidentally, these shiitake mushrooms 
weren't as good as the shiitakes we grilled ourselves at <a 
target=_blank href="../2009_12/IMG_5662.html">a Korean joint</a>.  Most 
of these were flatter and had a tapered edge.  I think the fatter ones 
without the ridge taste better.
