Yesterday, I spent the afternoon and evening with a dear friend of mine, Priscilla. We went out to a local tourist spot, Japantown, to dine at the restaurant On The Bridge for lunch. I have always passed this restaurant, never actually thought about eating there for the lack of costumers whenever I see it, but with my friend's urging and her good opinions about it, I decided to try it out. Seeing as Priscilla had recommended eating here, I had to ask what she recommended to eat. She spoke highly of the pesto udon and curry dishes, but not being such a huge fan of pesto, I decided to go safely with curry. This restaurant has a huge variety of curry, and I mean HUGE. You can have practically anything in your curry from mushrooms to calamari. SO, I ordered the chicken curry while she went with the mushroom curry. We also ordered an appetizer, a 6 piece gyoza dish, and a drink we shared, Creamy Melon Soda.

The gyoza was absolutely, hands down, amazing. To my pleasent surprise, it was a vegetarian gyoza. I cannot stress how amazingly well it went. Although it was drenched in soy sauce, which would have normally put me out. I also thought it was extremely cute that they used green dough to wrap the gyoza in!
Sadly, the curry did not live up to its high expectations. I ordered it mild, and it tasted plain. The rice was hard, and the curry did not go well with the chicken. How can curry not go well with chicken? How can anyone ruin a simple curry chicken dish? By using beef broth while boiling it with the chicken.
