Sunday Lunch at Inagiku

Warning: the following pictures may cause excessive drooling.

We were invited to have lunch at Inagiku at the Makati Shangri-la Hotel. It has been quite a while since I’ve eaten here. I was amazed at the abundance of new sushi selections. If you love sushi and sashimi this buffet is for you. The Japanese buffet is available on Saturday and Sunday lunch for P1,732.00 net or US$36.

This is the most popular sushi in the buffet. As soon as a server puts in down on the table it literally flies off the buffet table. People get so many pieces of it as if they want to hoard it. It’s a piece of prawn with mayonnaise, cheese and seaweed. It was really good but very rich. I think eating 2 pieces is more than enough.

Next up are the cold dishes which include appetizers, salads and noodles. As if all that sushi and sashimi weren’t enough.

Don’t forget dessert. There should always be room for dessert. Japanese desserts are unique and light so you can indulge. I just ate the orange and coffee jelly which are yummy.
