Tsunami

I was very tempted to bring the hubby out to Nine Fine Food again for his birthday.

Unbeknownst to each other, we'd BOTH booked Nine Fine Food for each other's birthday last year... so we ended up eating there TWICE in 3 weeks. Despite this, we STILL enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The temptation really was overwhelming to make a repeat visit to Nine Fine Food this year because I've been hankering their amazing salmon roe pasta... but I thought we'd try something different.

I'd heard good things about Tsunami in Mosman Park, so I decided to give it a whirl.

Marumo

Marumo is the Moby Dick of the Perth degustation/omakase world. It has garnered a respectable reputation but that combined with a single sitting per night in a small venue (which currently accommodates approximately 24 people) makes it one of the hardest place to book a table in Perth. In order to have dinner tonight, I emailed Chef Moe requesting to be on his waiting list... in late MAY. Yup. I had to book 3 months in advance.

Little did I know that by the end of our meal, I'd dismiss Restaurant Amuse from its current top place in my restaurant rankings and replace it with this gem.
