Please excuse the huge time gap in the blogs I've posted...I've been busy! Last semester was the first of my last school year at Howard and I took all the classes (and internship) that I needed to graduate so I could could chill this semester. And I didn't have a job thus no $ to go out. BUT this is a new year, a new semester and all that has changed!
The other day I went to Sushi Go Round in Chinatown for sushi, of course. USUALLY I go to this amazing place in Adam's Morgan called North Sea Restaurant that has the most delicious sushi ever AND happy hour everyday where sushi is half price but's that's another post. This place is in the same building complex as the movie theater, right next to the Haagen-Dazs store. When I walked in, I was delighted to see a "chef's special" menu with specials. I'm not sure if it was a lunch time special or not but the prices were just to my liking. There were several different specials on the menu, I ordered the "Roll" special. For $8.99 I got three different rolls with miso soup. That was my first time having miso soup and I must say, shit was tasty. I thought it was a great deal for what I got.
They did a roll that I usually get from North Sea called Spicy Crunchy Shrimp. I was both sad
and pleased with their version. First, I was disappointed because North Sea's comes with a delicious
sauce I believe they make on their own. Of course, Sushi Go Round's version did not come with that. BUT
after a few bites, I recognized a familiar flavor. It was from Flaming Hot Cheetos. Don't sit there and
act like you didn't have whole lunches in elementary school that consisted of a bag of Flaming Hots and
a drink. Anywho, the taste wasn't like they crumbled the actual chips in the sushi, it was that familiar
tang from the chip. Like the flaming hot minus the spicy. Just the tang and crunch. I think it added a
nice touch but still doesn't quite amount up to North Sea's.
They also had a nifty sushi bar contraption where a bunch of exotic sushi was rotating around and you could choose the sushi you wanted to try off the conveyer belt thingy. It was cool to see and interesting. Next time I go, I'll be adventurous and try some myself.
