Sushi Hotaru, Town Hall

Sushi Hotaru has always been on my list of places to try, so when we walked past the new branch on Bathurst Street, we didn't hesitate to walk straight in.......despite having had two complete meals for lunch a couple of hours ago :)

I've written about my amusement of touchscreens before, so imagine my excitement when I realised that there's a touchscreen for everyone to play order with!! Unfortunately, we were in a  bit of a rush, so we didn't have time to wait for anything made to order, but I did have to time to play around with the system for a while (in preparation for my next visit perhaps?)!

Soft Shell Crab Roll

If there was only one dish I could pick (which was really all my stomach could fit at the time), it would definitely be the soft shell crab roll- an not just because of my love of soft shell crab.  Although it wasn't straight out of the fryer, and nor was it very hot, the soft shell crab retained its crispiness, had just the right amount of flavouring and worked great with the sauce.

I was quite tempted to grab another one!

Fried Prawn

But we do like variety, so we chose a dish of fried prawns which are nice and golden and do not disappoint!

Deep Fried Scallops

And our love of fried foods means that the third out of the three dishes we choose is also fried! The deep fried scallops aren't actually scallops but rather those seafood stick things, which actually do taste a bit like scallops. 

I'm tempted to grab a couple more plates before we leave, but not wanting to be sick on the way home, decide against it. We make a mental note however, that we will be back (with empty stomachs next time!) .....and not only for the touchscreens!
