HRW: Nara

Haven't been back to Nara since they opened in the beginning of the year.  

The place looks so different during the day.  I didn't realized they have a patch of fake grass out front before.  

Pretty details.

For 1st Course: Korean Fried Chicken Grilled Bao.  The Bao itself is grilled, so it is crispy in the middle.  And the fried chicken has been all the rage in Korea.  It's pretty decent.  With the potato chips.

Main course, I chose the Bibimbap.  You can see chicken, veggies, zucchini, and quail egg on top.

Our server was kind enough to mix it all up for us.  I didn't realized it's super spicy, so I couldn't even finish it.  Definitely not for a weakling like me.

Dessert was assorted mochi.  I had coffee, strawberry, and lychee.  The lychee, amazingly was super delicious, and so was the coffee.  YUM!

It was kinda strange comparing notes with a friend of mine who also went to Nara for HRW lunch.  She said the tables were not cleaned when they were there, there was a nail on the table.  For the nigri part of the meal, there were uncooked rice mixed in with the sushi rice.  The service was slow and there was not toilet paper in the bathroom.  Comparatively, when we got there, just 2 weeks after my friend, the place is clean and tidy.  Service was ok until towards the end, they only have one server for all tables.  So, make sure you go when you have the time to spare.
