A google search turns up quite a few recipes - if we can make this well at home, then we've got the portion control. :-DCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-17723661139402064142008-09-06T11:29:00.000+10:002008-09-06T11:29:00.000+10:00Hi Thanh,Thanks for your comment!

I think Cindy from My Favourite Things had a similar experience too.<BR/><BR/>I think a lot of that ordering confusion is eliminated at lunch times, because you just choose your lunch set and away you go. So I think that's why my family liked it so much. If I do go back, it'll be at a lunch time.<BR/><BR/>I wonder what the experience would be like if you just sat at the sushi bar?<BR/><BR/>xox SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261274546097701065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-65163317653610072152008-09-06T11:23:00.000+10:002008-09-06T11:23:00.000+10:00Sarah, I think the service you had has been experi...Sarah, I think the service you had has been experienced by numerous other bloggers, myself included. My first and only visit to Shoya so far was such a confusion due to the menu and service, it has deterred me from going back quite a bit. <BR/><BR/>My friends and I were equally confused over the extensive menu. Asking for help from the waiters didn't really help our confusion. We also hated, and I repeated, hated the waiters upselling to us the whole night. We found the waiters rather pushy and did not enjoying the dining experience on the whole.<BR/><BR/>Having said all that, their sashimi is one of the best I've tried in Melbourne. The different types of fish, seafood were so tasty. However, again there was confusion over the pricing and how much we would get. We asked about that a few times but just got more confusion so in the end just went with their suggestion. We were later quite shocked at the price of the sashimi.<BR/><BR/>Some of the other dishes were hit and miss, and again, I felt it was due to the inaccurate description and pricing structure of the menu.<BR/><BR/>Ok, I've ranted on enough. Mellie did say that if you go for the BBQ thing they have, it's good value and really tasty if you know what to order. But again, you have to go many times to establish what's what on their ridiculously awful menu.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.com
