Japanese Restaurant, Sushi Bay

I posted in last time, about Japanese Food. How about Japanese food in Sydney?! How normally Japanese food are around in sydney? How many Australian peple loves Japanese food?!

Japan is one of Asian countries but, this country is most well-known Asian country in Western people. Therefore, the food from Japan could be most familiar food for Western people. In Sydney, there are lots of Japanese Restuarants and you can find one or more Japanese restaurants in each different suburb. Japanese restaurant is operated in many different styles such as only the take-away shops or family restuarant.

From now, I am going to introduce one of Japanese restaurant in Sydney. This restaurant is called, "Sushi Bay". This shop has Japanese food in Fusion Style that makes the food in Western style like using cheezes or sauces.

Sushi Bay was established on 30 October 2004 and in this year, Sushi Bay has increased their branches up to 18 branches and it will be becoming more large business. As they increase their business, they focus in the management and customer services. Their one of the missions, is that they serving the customers with qualified food and services.



Let's have a look in step by step!

Where is the Sushi Bay?
Sushi Bay have more than 10 branches around New South Wales, which include Blacktown, Castle Hill, Campbelltwon, Waterloo, Penrith, Rouse Hill, Parramatta, Chatswood, Carlingford, Merrylands and so on.

What is in the menu?!
As I told above, Sushi Bay has traditional food in Japanese and also they have Japanese food in fusion style. Sushi Bay has Sushi trains in their shops and they are always trying to provide fresh food to the customers. Sushi train is difficult to do food control, but in Sushi Bay they have their own methodology to control the food and this results, they don't have any issued with hygiene in food control. In their menu, they have Nigiri, Sashimi, Ships, Temaki, Udon, Maki and Deep Fried.

NIGIRI

SASHIMI

SHIPS

TEMAKI

UDON

MAKI

DEEP FRIED

Suhi Bay also provide Party Set so that the customers could take the party set in discounted prices.

As Sushi Bay has sushi train, they provide different colour plates in different prices so that the customers could guess the prices by matching with the colour plates what they have, and this is also one of interest things in Sushi Bay. Sushi Bay has opened their kitchens, so their customers could see what staff make and how they cook their Sushi and it gives the interests to the customers by showing how the Sushi is cooked. Also Sushi Bay could establish the strong communication systems in opened kitchens by providing services to the customers.

Sushi Bay has a family card and it gives the points of 5% of what you spend on and when you get $20 in your credits, you can get free meals in $20 valued.

I have visited in many different Japanese Restuarants in Sydney and Sushi Bay was best restaraunt that I have. If you are interested in, have try to visit the Website: http://www.sushibay.com.au/

German Cuisine

There are many different types of German food but there is most famous German foods called “German Ham Hock with Sauerkraut” in Germans “Eisbein Mit Sauerkraut”.

This is very traditional German meal. The eisbein is a picked, smoked and then slow roasted, served with a heap of fresh and fermented and picked white cabbage and boiled potatoes.

Ingredients:

·         smoked ham hock/s (I used about 1 1/2 lbs, but larger pieces can be used)

·         Sauerkraut (I used about 3/4 of a 1 qt /946 ml glass of Sauerkraut)

·         1 large onion, chopped

·         1 large carrot or several baby carrots, chopped

·         3 allspice berries

·         5 pepper corns

·         1 bay leaf

·         4 tsp salt

·         6 cups water, or as needed

Directions

Add all ingredients including the Sauerkraut into pot. Pour enough water over the ingredients to cover the meat. Bring everything to a boil and let it simmer until the meat becomes soft and cooked. This took about an hour for the 1 1/2 lbs. Season the Sauerkraut stew to taste and divide it onto plates. Add some of the meat and serve it with cooked potatoes and mustard, horseradish.

Another famous meat food of German is called “Schweinshaxen”

Schweinshaxe is a roasted ham hock, especially popular in Bavaria. It is usually marinated or pre-boiled in a caraway seed and garlic brine, roasted until the skin is crisp, and served with mustard, horseradish, and pickled chili peppers. The Bavarian version is often served with potato dumplings and red cabbage, or with sauerkraut and potatoes.

Ingredients: 2-3 pounds pork shank

Seasoning: 2 tablespoons caraway seeds, 1/2 head garlic, salt and pepper

Directions: Boil hind pork shank in a pot of water with caraway seeds, garlic, salt and pepper, covered for one hour. Use just enough water to submerge the shank in the pot you are using and season water sufficiently. After one hour, let shank cool down to room temperature.
Cut skin horizontally, approximately 1/2 inch apart, and roast at 374 degrees of 90 minutes. Raise temperature on 425 degrees and crisp skin approximately 20 minutes. Serve traditionally on a wooden platter, warm, with kraut salad, country bread, pickles, horseradish and Bavarian mustard.
