So I managed to get a booking at Azuma Japanese restaurant, in Chifley Plaza. And what a night it was: wonderful food, great service and a taxi rank right outside.
Chifley Plaza always reminds me of work, because I sometimes frequent the (very good) food court at lunch time. Azuma is on the same level as the food court, separated by some glass screens. The food is in a class of its own.
We had the Omakase degustation, which consisted of 10 fresh, beautifully prepared courses. They were all just amazingly delicious, though I hit the wall about the time course number 7 (wagyu steak) rolled around. But I always leave room for dessert. And just as well I did, because bf had arranged for a special birthday message to be written on the dessert plate. And the lovely waitresses trooped out with candles and a sparkler and sang 'happy birthday' as well! And to top it off, they took a photo of us and presented it to us a few minutes later.
Here are some pictures of the food. For some reason, it reminds me of the dishes on Iron Chef...?
Maybe I could have eaten a bit more if I hadn't prepared this scrummy breakfast a few hours earlier...

Those jellies look very interesting, what were they like? The pics look good and really substantial too!
PS Love the breakfast, do I recognise the potato gems? So bad for you but so good! :P
hi lorraine - I didn't catch all the jelly types, but the middle one was black sesame. They were kind of chewy and flavourless though it came with a sweet miso dipping sauce which was nice. And would you believe the photos are just the servings for one person?!
And yes, those are gems - Woolies didn't have hash browns so gems are even better.
