broadening.....my taste buds.

as many of you may know, i am actually a picky eater. i would like to say that it is mostly a texture thing but lately seth has been pointing out that i don't really like to try things. that is why about 3 weeks ago i got talked into trying sushi. i actually tried it a long long time ago and spit it out. but this time i loved it!



i don't think i could eat just any sushi but the college roll at O Asian Fusion is delish! it had tempura shrimp in it which added another element to the texture which was very pleasing.

on another note- i am a big fan of Sweet Basil and pretty much swear by their pineapple fried rice. it is hard to find anything that compares. The first time we went to O Asian Fusion I must have missed it on the menu but to my great surprise i discovered they do have pineapple fried rice! it comes with shrimp and chicken and it is the biggest heaping pile of rice i have ever seen. it was no Sweet Basil but definitely up there. i will tell you that it came with raisins. i only like raisins of the chocoloate-covered form so i wasn't very happy when they joined us for dinner. raisins are not listed on the menu as part of this dish so condsider yourself warned.

lastly i would like to encourage everyone to try O Asian Fusion. i know that it is in an old pizza hut but once you get inside all you'll be able to say is how you can't believe it used to be a pizza hut! the food is wonderful and you get to watch the sushi man prepare your sushi if you sit at the sushi bar. they have a full bar and huge menu of yummy things to check out.

i usually never spend money on a steak at a restaurant. however, the 6 ounce filet cooked medium rare is probably the best steak i've ever had. perfectly cooked. i agree with you on the college roll as well. i usually get the tuna sashimi as well. you should try it with wasabi and soy sauce now that your sushi feet are wet.
