Turbo Go Go

Last wednesday, A and me sampled half the menu of asian restaurant Turbo Go Go. Despite my intention to take my camera with me, I forgot. So, I only had my phone cam to take some pictures. And they turned out to be overexposed, out of focus... etc.

So, this friday, I decided to sample some of their sushi, of which we only managed to have a few because of all of the other things we had to try.

For 15 bucks, they give you a selection of 24 pieces of sushi. These include simple ones with cucumber and some pickle, salmon, shrimp...

...omelette, and that tofu-like stuff they use to envelope a piece of rice. All very nice.

However, I wasn't that fond of the tobiko-variety, with surimi, avocado and crab eggs on the outside. It was less tasty than expected.

And on that bombshell, I guess, I'll end this crappy blog post, but what more is there to say about sushi? I guess the only sushi worth writing about extensively, would be sushi of bad quality. But then, who would sell crappy sushi? Well, perhaps if it'll become more ubiquitous than it is now, lesser gods may step up to the scene.

Graduation

Yay! N got her post-academic degree yesterday. After the official part, during which each of the seventeen of her classmates got a personal speech and their certificates, our families and us first went for lunch to Bar Pepper. There we had soup and bread:

Fresh tomato-soup. Slightly tangy. Nice touch of spring-onions.

Selection of exquisite slices of bread, topped with combinations like great pesto, fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and beetroot-shoots; creamed cheese, cucumber, marinated chicken and garden cress shoots; and salmon, lettuce and a sweet-sour-dressing.






In the evening, we went for dinner to our new great-restaurant-discovery: "Brasserie Moeke". Hidden in a small village, it offered a great selection of dishes. Seldomly had we been so much in doubt about what to choose, from just so little options.

Deer steak.

Sides of salad and potatoes au gratin.

Selection of fruits for the lactose-intolerant N.

Preiselbeeren-bavarois.

Apricot(?)-beignet

Cream of hazelnut

Selection of cheeses with bread of figs, and a raisin-celery-chutney.

Creme brulee, coffee-scented. (Espresso-ice-cream! Whow!)

Great red wine! La Linda, Argentinian, from 2008.

Less great: little cake-cubes served with the coffee, slightly dry and not so full of flavour.

All in all, this was a great restaurant-experience. If you ever happen to be in the neighbourhood of the village of Diepenveen (near Deventer), be sure to visit this restaurant.
