モンゴル

Downing Mongolian alcohol.


Well, I have been hitting the international circuit of restaurants after I've been in Fukuoka, and here's one place somewhere near Yoshizuka, where we went to celebrate Chihiro's birthday. From the outside it looks just like a container, but inside... woohoo...is decorated like a Mongolian Yurt! We sat down and had an 8 course dinner, including snone-grilled lamb (see picture)



That's horse milk wine by the way.

So they made us put on funky Mongolian traditional clothes, and ever so often the boss would come out from the kitchen with a bottle of alcohol and he would start singing this catchy song that everyone learnt pretty quickly, while pouring alcohol into cups of lucky patrons... and this doesnt stop till the bottle was empty. Then one of the kitchen helpers came out (also Mongolian), and serenaded us with a Mongolian steppe-song. Wow.



So went the eight course dinner....taking photographs..



Put up your hand if you think Julia is one hot lady!



The whole gang. I sortof look silly (as usual), but Huurshid and Bakhrom, being Uzbek, look right at home in that attire.. wow. Theme restaurants rock!
