Asakusa

@ 119 King Street, Newtown

I've been saving going to this joint for a bit now and finally I made my way in a number of weeks ago. The place is always packed late at night particularly on the Thurs to Saturday shifts and it's little wonder. The decor is gorgeous, brimming with dark brown wooden chairs and tables and a rich red wall. The service is great too, extremely attentive and helpful.

Starving and desperate to get home to a good meal, I pushed my way inside Asakusa and browsed the menu. I decided the best way to go would be a Dinner Box and ordered the Furu. A box of chicken balls in teriyaki sauce, dumplings and grilled chicken in teriyaki sauce. I didn't know how they'd deliver to to me as these dinner boxes usually come in pre-set boxes, but they had the answer down pat with their own plastic version.



The meat was well cooked and the sauce divine. I licked it up and then some. The chicken balls were hearty and the dumplings were good but what I loved was the grilled chicken. Dripping in sauce with just enough salt and just soft enough to sink my teeth into, they had me craving for more. Yes, the wait was over and it was definitely worth it.
