Fumi

Hurray! Let's revive a dying blog!! With less and less money to spend though, we're going into the slightly more cheaper eating side of Bangkok now.

Today, I'd like to rave about Fumi - a nice, cheap Japanese joint on the 5th floor of Emporium. We go practically every week to Fumi and it's not just getting loyalty stickers that keeps us coming back. The food is very good whilst being great value for money.

The bento boxes (above) are filling and filled with a great variety of titbits: tempura, chicken, sashimi. They cost about 230 baht and that's what Fatt always has.

I usually go for the grilled salmon set. It's quite sweet but tasty, with fluffy rice and soothing miso soup. Cost is about 130 baht. There's also a good selection of sushi, sashimi, rolls, noodles, donburis and salads, and also Japanese barbecue. In fact, that's one of the best things about Fumi: you can sit at the 'bar'-becue area and watch the kitchen in action. The cooks are super-clean and super-efficient - it's a real pleasure to see them fly!
