Barb received nice advice from work colleagues to eat at a Sakura Restaurant. So Barb went "big time" and convinced the whole family to come together for the experience. It was well worth the struggle through city traffic to get there.
The chef was highly skilled and thoroughly entertained us in the way he cooked each course before us. There were even occasions when each of us had to catch something he threw at us. One was a food item that had to enter our open mouths! and the other was a "stack" of round bowls... one at a time. Peter was the only person who dropped one on the floor! That part was a bit of a circus act.
Barb was cleverly prepared with glow-in-the-dark sticks which the grandkids loved. They enjoyed the event and liked the chef's entertainment... and liked climbing all over us. What was very impressive was that they tasted each course.
It was really nice to have a time like this when Funks and Acklands "joined" in the city. We actually met in the city at the restaurant in South Melbourne, and afterwards Simon, Dan and us went north to our end of town and the Funks went east to Gembrook. A memorable city encounter.
Daniel especially enjoyed watching the chef. He had never seen a chef throw sharp knives about and catch them again as he positioned for "giant" prawn cutting... and the other sea animals. Gord took this snap.
The green tea ice cream at the end was unexpected and a really nice way to top of a really good night.
