Sharing some snaps from Aarav’s 10th birthday party last Saturday in his back garden 🌞

We had an absolute ball learning how to roll sushi, wrap gyoza and use chopsticks with tonnes of party food to snack on in between. I provide private catering that’s completely customised to your preferences so if you ever want to delegate the stress of party planning to me, please reach out via DM to discuss in detail. (Disclaimer: I cannot take any credit for the incredible cake though 🎂)

For kid’s parties, my partner in crime .a is an entertainer by nature & trade providing games, model balloons and all sorts of fun under his business . He has the contacts for all party needs and as you might be able to tell from the second slide, he totally took charge and ruled the roost 😂 (also he was by far the loudest 📣 👂) So if you want to sit back with a wine and take the pressure off of ensuring everyone is entertained, please drop him a DM.

Hope Aarav and his mates had a wonderful time 🥳

We’re back in Manny!

Sooo…. aside from our UK flat being burgled and Char Siu going missing (he’s home now) we had a maaarrrrvelous time in Vancouver so the joke’s on the thief 👏🏽 well done mate.

CANNOT thank .vacant enough for sorting all this crap whilst we were gone & shoutout to the Wallop fam too. We bloody owe ya!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍

It was so therapeutic to be by the 🌊 again, I never realised how much I’d taken that for granted. Not much had changed in Wesf Van since I lived there 20 odd years ago which was really quite nice in a nostalgic way.

Highlight was my reunion with my old 🇭🇰 bestie Daph & fam & road tripping with .a … And all the seafood 🦞 🤤

More pics to come … 💚

Come and try the new offerings from the FEBRUARY MENU at this weekend.

Though we’re keeping some of last month’s most popular dishes on the menu (like Coral and Tsukune - swipe to see) we’re introducing some new home-style Japanese faves like Napolitan (a wafū pasta dish with homemade noodles) and Tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet strips with tangy tonkatsu sauce, a dollop of Kewpie and a smidge of mustard on a bed of shredded cabbage).

Kanpai!
