Taiwanese sushi, conveyor belts, Flan Princesses and Sirens
Corey asked me about the sushi I had, then said they were going out for sushi because it's Jane's mom's birthday. Sushi in Taiwan is pretty cheap, it seems!
[12/3/2011 5:46:21 AM] Leslie: I got almost a pound of brandy beans earlier, since it was only $3.27, and my friend bugged me about being drunk :P
[12/3/2011 6:08:33 AM] Corey: so how drunk are you?
[12/3/2011 6:09:32 AM] Leslie: I am perfectly sober
[12/3/2011 6:11:00 AM] Corey: well, go fix that
[12/3/2011 6:12:11 AM] Leslie: it's 6:15 AM - too early for that
[12/3/2011 6:50:10 AM] Corey: it's never too early
[12/3/2011 2:20:52 PM] Leslie: now that it's 2:20 PM, it's still too early, even if I am at home by myself :P I'm going to get some gingerbread candy canes and sushi
[12/3/2011 7:30:59 PM] Corey: what kind of sushi? we're off to get sushi too, for Jane's mom's birthday
[12/3/2011 7:32:07 PM] Leslie: nothing special - just mall sushi. I overbought on Christmas chocolate and shortbread again, too. Oh well. have fun.
[12/3/2011 7:35:02 PM] Corey: I mean what kind? like California rolls? or real sushi with raw fish? they mostly have Nigiri sushi here (a big block of rice with a big piece of fish across the top
[12/3/2011 7:36:27 PM] Leslie: roll-type, like spicy tuna roll
[12/3/2011 7:50:44 PM] Corey: those don't have enough meat, too much rice :P
[12/3/2011 7:51:29 PM] Leslie: IT'S SUSHI. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM IT, FLOWERS AND RAINBOWS?!
[12/3/2011 7:52:27 PM] Corey: fish! lots of raw fish!
[12/3/2011 7:53:13 PM] Corey: nigiri has a big piece of fish, you can barely get the whole thing into your mouth :P but if you take bites, it'll just fall apart
[12/3/2011 7:56:03 PM] Leslie: ooh, that reminds me - if you ever come over here, you need to go to a place called Samurai Sushi. now, THAT has big pieces of sushi and fish in gneral
[12/3/2011 8:04:19 PM] Corey: Sushi here is cheap. one plate (two pieces of nigiri sushi) is NT$30, like US$1
[12/3/2011 8:07:15 PM] Corey: they just measure it by plate and you take whatever you want. at the end they count the plates
[12/3/2011 8:08:08 PM] Leslie: what?! that is cheap, man. sounds like a buffet style. BUFFET SUSHI! HAHAHA
[12/3/2011 8:08:33 PM] Leslie: and after I finish with this Gigas Worm, I'm taking a shower. back later.
[12/3/2011 8:10:53 PM] Corey: they have a conveyor belt that moves around, and you grab what you want. it's better to ask them to make things for you, though.. same price, and you get exactly what you want... but still, if you see something go by, you can take it
[12/3/2011 8:11:36 PM] Leslie: I've seen that kind of setup before, too... we never used it since the sushi there seemed to be more expensive than the other stuff which was actually on the menu :P
I was getting 700 Sirens yesterday because these guys CAN drop Pink Tails (which can be swapped for Adamant Armor at the Adamant Grotto) for everyone in the FINAL FANTASY IV party, albeit super-rarely:
