haiku yum

I also wanna write about this amazing Japanese restaurant we went last Friday with some friends. Haiku. Their sushi rolls are really really really yummy! Nothing like what you'll get in other fancy Japanese places. I didnt bring my camera...so these shots are taken from the link.

This sushi roll is called The Butterfly becoz of the shape that it was displayed on the plate (my guess). We tried about 5/6 different kinds of sushi rolls (¥60-¥80, 8 pieces on each plate)...all of which is totally yummy! Their sashimi is also as elaborately decorated...and the spotlights on the ceilings did help made everything look sooo good. The restaurant deco is very fancy...though not exactly as hip as Shintori. Both are overly priced but i think that Haiku is more expensive. I guess both are just targeted at foreigners/expats who would pay for the ambience. Hmm...but still, it's kinda expensive to eat there - even if it's a once-a-week kind of dinner. Maybe more like a cool place you wanna show your friend who's coming into town. It's a really nice and yummy part of Shanghai - something people wouldnt link with C-h-i-n-a. ;p
