Hibachi Birthday

Kit Kat wanted us to take her to a Japanese steak house for her birthday. Momoko let her bring along two friends. Since Kit Kat is now 18, she is allowed to drive other teens. She picked up both her friends. We met up with her at the restaurant. A waitress who could barely speak English took our order. We arrived in time for happy hour, where select items are an amazing half off.

Kit Kat's friends seemed apprehensive about the Hibachi dinner. Kit Kat took the lead in showing them how to order. She also made her friends try some of the more exotic foods like sushi. Momoko let me order an appetizer. I got something I never tried before. They were some pork dumplings. Little Kat loved them, as did I. Momoko got some shrimp tempura sushi. That was edible because they deep fry the shrimp first.

Our chef gave us the normal show while cooking. He kept calling the soy sauce "coca cola". He would play games like giving some of our party just a little food, while others got much more. A couple of us tried to catch broccoli as he flinged them at us. We failed. As usual, the guy knew how to cook the most delicious fried rice you ever tasted. I was surprised to also get some noodles with our dinners.

After dinner, Kit Kat's friends came back to our house for the unwrapping of gifts. Kit Kat's friends got her a music CD and a picture frame. Both had nice pictures of Kit Kat and her friends on them. Little Kat got Kit Kat a rock as a joke. Momoko got Kit Kat a personal coffee maker. There were a number of other gifts exchanged as well. At the end, Kit Kat served up a red velvet cake that she insisted she bake herself.
