Turning Japanese (not by the Vapors)

By the time we got off the London Eye it was virtually dark. This meant that it was time to find somewhere to eat.

After a rather special evening, we didn't fancy anything too ordinary in the food department, but we didn't have to wander too far to find a restaurant that was just the ticket.


This was the Aji Japanese noodle bar. We'd never eaten Japanese before and didn't know any Japanese dishes. However, there were two things present to help us. Firstly as you might have noticed from our earlier picture, our place mats doubled up as rather useful menus. They not only described the dishes well but suggested various combinations and, most excellently from our point of view, the more you had, the cheaper each course became.

Secondly there was a prominent instruction board telling us exactly what to do and how to order.


It was all a lot easier to order a delicious meal than we expected and we were soon tucking into very tasty stir fry dishes with fresh vegetables, chicken and prawns. We were also bowled over by their superb fruit juice which definitely contained ginger and carrot juice and we think orange juice as well.

As we wandered back to our chauffeur driven limo (we had a night off driving the bearmobile) we lingered by these rather effective lights which adorned the trees close to the river.


We had all thoroughly enjoyed our V.I.P. London evening out.

Lots of love, all at B.U. xxx
