So I was tired of being looked at funny or considered weird, when I pulled out my camera and took a picture or two before attacking my meals. Specially painful if my dining companion had to feel the awkwardness of my action in the middle of crowded restaurant.
I still think some of the food that I was about to consume were note worthy, visually interesting in a way it begged to be photographed or visually noted in some way. So, at times when it didn't permit to photograph, I feast with my eyes first. I took use my meager photographic memory to capture, then later towards the end of the meal, when there were room at the table, I took my food journal out and draw, noted each items on the menu, stopped short of reviewing the meal.
I walked by this place many times before trying it. The sign is in Japanese so I was never clear if it was a resaturant or just a sake bar and it was always crowded. I never had interest to try it specially by my self, not until a friend initiated me to it. We were early, place wasn't packed, we got really nice table (all with short little chairs, and a basket on the floor, to put our belongings). Kenka unique ambiance, sort of familiar, with half of it lighted with florescent light. The menu is ranging from the basic japanese tapas, to noodle and rice to some unique dishes (fatty pig feet, anyone?). I think it would take many visits before I can really say about the food, or to suggest a favorite. But, I do like that they give you a small cup of sugar and a stick at the end, to make cotton candy on your way out.
