Blue crush and Teppanyaki

Friday night I had a Japanese Teppanyaki feast...and inspired by the Japanese 'theme', wore my Akira Isogawa embroidered dress, started with the blue, decided to go all blue on a whim...


Akira Isogawa Resort '09 silk embroidered dress
Burberry navy leather jacket
Burberry Prorsum large metallic flower necklace
Dries Van Noten beaded & sequinned sandals & clutch

It was an absolute feast...


Started with Kangaroo Island lobster salad with creamy sesame dressing


Followed by fried nori rolls of king prawn tempura with soba noodles


King George whiting with pesto paste


It was fun watching the chef cook the teppanyaki as we sat around him


And to see him flambe the wagyu we were about to eat


The wagyu was the highlight of the meal, absolutely delicious...Wagyu beef strip loin served with fried garlic


Shitake and abalone mushrooms with garlic chives


Crab and shitake mushroom miso soup


Hinode grand dessert (from left to right): tofu creme brulee (a little weird), mirin sabayon with red bean, green tea-ramisu (these last two were delicious!),


I absolutely love my Burberry washed leather navy jacket...bought this in Barcelona, and was photographed by El Periodico with my sisters & hubby after we left the store, laden with shopping bags, ending up on the following day on the newspaper! I did not even realize the jacket was navy until I took it to the counter, which made it even better...love the texture of the leather and the ribbed sleeve cuffs, collar and waist...
