Torotoro Omurice

A Thursday cannot be a Thursday without its special luncheons. And so, I present you, Torotoro Omurice!

I've had omurice before and it was so-so (rice mixed with ketchup, wrapped in an omelette, and topped with ketchup), which was why I was surprised when I found out that my order wasn't ketchup-ish! Well, there was ketchup on top of the omelette, but not as much as what I had before~

Anyway, the salad with vinegrette came first; nothing much, just shredded lettuce, carrots, raddish, cucumber, and a huge tomato. Everyone were already eating their steaks and my order was last to arrive. The wait was definitely worth it though...

It was amazing!

My plate probably dominated the table, it was huge and square, and at the middle sat the biggest omurice you've ever seen, surrounded with beef slices in demiglace sauce, and a sprinkle of aesthetic parsley bits. I stared at it till my glasses fogged up. It was a glorious moment. Although it might've been attributed to the fact that I was hungry .

I picked up a spoon, the biggest I could find (there were different kinds of spoons there, pretty fancy place, that), and tore into the perfect omelette shell, thus releasing steam and more heavenly aroma.

First bite in and I can already realize that it was the best ever. Ever been. Ever will be.

The hint of a 'spaghetti sauce' taste in the beef Demiglace with the neutral creamness of the buttered rice and egg omelette was so surprising, I had a heartburn. At last, something to absolutely die for. I haven't felt like this since I've had my first fettucini carbonara as a kid, afterwhich, I became addicted to white sauces and italian food, especially pasta.

Ahhh~~~ Torotoro. Omu. Rice. Dai. Suki.

And the best part is, as usual, it was all FREE.
