Beaten by a Bento Box

Today I was beaten, beaten by a magnificent Bento Box served at Nobu restaurant in the Crown Perth complex. It was one of those meals that you just have to come home and write about, so here you go.

When I say write … I know I’m not professional food restaurant writer, and try as I might whenever I think about describing the dishes to you, all that comes to mind is my completely satisfied, jam-packed belly.

Four hours later and my tummy is still bursting. But not in that ‘urge I’ve eaten way too much stodgy, greasy, below par food.’ It’s more of a ‘thank you for the abundant assortment of top quality morsels.’ So instead of trying to describe it, below are the photos. The Bento Box included:

Three other elements included were: rice and sautéed vegetables in spicy garlic sauce; a Sashimi Salad (shown in the top photo); plus a bowl of Miso Soup.

If that’s not enough there’s also a choice of either:

The signature dish Black Cod with Miso sauce;
Beef tenderloin with either a teriyaki or Anticucho sauce;
Chicken with either a teriyaki or Anticucho sauce.

It was an easy choice as I’d had the signature dish before and longed to have to again, fish for me.

We were also given a glass of sparkling wine and a green tea to finish off.

When the waiter first placed the box in front of me I saw one row of food and thought terrific.

Then she placed the second half of the box down and my eyes bulged, thankfully so too did my tummy, as it prepared for what was to come. Such good value.

The whole meal was spectacular, made all the better by not having to decide which of the beautiful menu items to choose.

There are three Bento Boxes on the menu and at the moment there’s a special on. It’s called the ‘Ultimate lunches’ and it’s available at all of the major Crown restaurants from Monday to Friday. For $49.50 you get the meal, plus valet parking.
