Haiku (again)

My trips to Haiku are looking like they might be a regular thing. I went a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday night with my Sushi Dining Companion (SDC for short). We sat at the bar; not the part where you can watch the sushi being made, but the part in front of the TV. The Grammys were on, so we watched as we, at and chatted with the bartender.

I had a Jameson and Ginger to start... not sure why but I was feeling the Jameson. I was turned onto this delightful drink at a friend's Christmas (not Holiday) Party. It was tasty.

In addition to some repeat maki from our last visit, we ordered the Veg and Shrimp Tempura appetizer. This was amazing. The breading was great, hot and crispy - probably panko breadcrumbs. The shrimp were about 4 inches long, and tasty. Zucchini, onion, and sweet potato were also included. A sweet soy sauce was included for dipping.

We tried something new this time: the Northboro roll. This was a roll filled iwth salmon, scallop, and another fish, rolled in breading, and fried quickly. The fish was fully cooked. This was delicious! I could probably make a meal out of the whole 8-piece serving alone, it was so chock full of fish.

Again, Haiku proved a good place for an adventurous dinner.
