I Chi Ban Teppan-Yaki

FIRE!

Doesn’t that photo just bring out your inner pyromaniac? Well, if not, you’ll just have to imagine me and my gleeful face, snapping away behind the camera as our gallant teppanyaki chef squirted yet more oil onto the raging flame.

I know, so unnecessary, so extravagant, but so FUN right?
WELCOME TO THE JOYS OF TEPPANYAKI!

I’ve been to Teppanyaki a few times before, and it always goes the same way. I start out extremely nervous and apprehensive thanks to my exceedingly poor hand-eye coordination, and then end up having such a good night (clothes perhaps slightly worse for wear). This occasion was to celebrate the birthday of a good friend. And what better way to celebrate your birthday than being pelted by copious amount of egg :D!

We went to I Chi Ban Teppan-Yaki this time, and went with the set-menu “Matsu” for $35 each, which includes:

Fresh Salad
Miso Soup
King Prawn
Fish
Teriyaki Chicken
Misoyaki Steak
Fried Rice
Fried Vegetables
Fresh Fruit
Japanese Tea

Phew! Quite a lot, so if any of your food falls on the floor, hopefully you’ll still be full ;).

All the food, ready to be cooked/tossed/caught/thrown onto the floor

For sure, the point of Teppanyaki isn’t really the food, but my favourite was the garlic king prawns. Which of course, also had the flame treatment

And we had the best chef ever. Look at his crazy egg towers!

After we’d eaten our fill, all the games began. He had all the usual Teppanyaki chef tricks, like catching eggs in our bowls, catching bits of omelette in our mouths, and catching perilously spinning bowls of fried rice.

I didn’t quite catch mine 😦

And of course the birthday girl got special treatment:

Dinner and a show, what more could you ask for.
