Okayama Table Terra

For my little sister, Juri’s birthday, my Japanese parents took us to Okayama Table Terra. And oh my goodness. This place was SO delicious. I could not believe it! I wish I had discovered it earlier.

Terra is two storey and the interior is gorgeous. White chairs and dark wooden tables. Big mirrors, open kitchen, wonderful service and pot plants. Perfect for any occasion. Especially a couple date! EEEE

We had the chef’s choice set menu and it was to die for! WOW! I can’t wait to go back. Is the chef single?! Can I marry him? More details HERE.

Because I can’t fluently understand Japanese, I can’t give you the exact description of each dish, but what I can say is we started with an antipasti plate (featuring zucchini bruschetta), followed by a variety of vegetables served with an anchovy dip, then cold new season cream of potato soup, next delicious eggplant pizzas topped with cheese and mince, next pizza margarita and last but definitely not least (because it was our favorite), a vegetarian zucchini and soy-bean “bolognese”. WOW it was so delicious I wish I could eat it for lunch today. Heck, also dinner.

At Terra, we also had coffee and a little cake. At home, we had tea and a big cake (gluten, dairy and refined-sugar free) – which I made. Recipe HERE. Except for Juri, I doubled this recipe: made two cakes, placed them on top of one another and spread an all-natural raspberry jam in the middle of them. Mama Mia.

I’m going on a diet

Recent highlights:
1.The oatmeal and raisin cookies I made my colleagues – for the record, they went nuts! (if only my cookies contained nuts that woulda been a great pun). This is because, oats aren’t so common in Japan so they had no idea what was inside them. Google helped.
2.Massive naan at Sivam in Yunogo (look Jay you’re famous!)
3.Absolutely gorgeous coffee break at Nutty Plant in Katsuta (this place is the only place in whole of Mimasaka that does espresso coffee from my understanding! And just look at that Latte! Ad-mi-ra-ble!
4.Tempura night at Yukos. AH so much good. Too much good!
5.Persian muesli bars aka if I were a food.
6.Kuni-chans birthday BBQ. For the record: I only ate veggies!
