For the first time I tried Sushi and Sashimi with Wasabi, contrary to my belief I kind of enjoyed it. This was indeed a thrilling experience, the thrill of trying something new and of course the sting of wasabi. It was my first try at a Lobster too and the fresh oysters with Tabasco sauce and lime did go well too!

The dinner ended with our Voice SDM stealing apples, peaches and Yogurt!. The sting of wasabi was indeed an experience that will play on my mind for long!

Loads of food and the company of interesting people made the evening special.
