the curse of mentaiko

ytd i challenged myself with mentaiko at sakae sushi. mentaiko is basically, *gulp*, marinated fish roes.


[ebi mentai fr sakae sushi]

THE CHALLENGE ENDS UP A DISASTROUS ONE. well, once u get used to the taste it will taste good, like durian and stinky tofu. it is a like-it-or-hate-it kind of food. i dunno whether is the gasoline smell (they kind of make it into aburi sushi by scorching the surface) or the creamy texture that make me want to puke.

fortunately xm gulped down one sushi in one go. *applause* i spent the next 30min trying to put the mentaiko into my mouth and chew the rubber ebi. i found that chewing without breathing thru nose works well if u wan to avoid the taste.

now i can list the mentaiko as the second japanese food that i wun touch for the rest of my life. (first one is nattou, yucks) strangely enuf, i can eat mentaiko-flavoured pocky sticks hahahhaaahhaa.
