well today, thursday the 30th, i was lucky enough to not be tied to the office, or have to cook for anyone, so i took advantage of that and had some japanese fast food at the paragon mall with my good friend mike. not the mike who has the blog, but another mike, blog-less mike. you can see his torso in the picture. he was a bit put out when i told him that i knew i was not getting his face in the frame and that it was the food i was concerned about. i also forgot that they frown on picture taking at this particular establishment (seems there is a lot of corporate spying and theft of ideas in asia so many places forbid photos. so i made it look like i was taking blog-less mike's picture instead, which didn't work out as well as i had hoped) so i did not get a shot of blog-less mike's sushi assortment, because the waitress came over and politely asked me to not take anymore pics. too bad, it was the star attraction and it looked exactly like the picture in the menu.
this is what we had:
shrimp and salmon sushi
pork gyoza
zaro soba cha zoba with pork
blog-less mike's missing sushi combo miso soup
total cost: 1,100 thai baht/$33.00 usd

it really is too bad i got caught out with the picture taking, blog-less mike's sushi was just stunning to look at, and it tasted super fresh too. one of the pieces was bbq'd/teriyaki cuttle fish. blog-less mike was stunned that it was soft, and not chewy. he was afraid to try it at first for fear of being disappointed, but he was not.
this place fuji is one of the better fast food japanese restaurants in town and the menu is probably 20 pages long encompassing a wide variety of traditional and "new-wave" japanese food. seems these types of restaurants are not so popular in japan. usually a place sticks to one type of food, like sushi, or teppanyaki 鉄板焼き, and that is it. lucky for us that we have these bastardized places to go to where we can sample a variety of japanese food all in one sitting.

here are a few picture links to fuji food i snagged off google.
obviously the waitress did not stop these folks from snapping some pics:

most of the above pics came from a nice blog by this girl, check it.
note: i googled images for the word "bastardized", this is what came up. funny thing, most of the images were of food.

blog-less mike? LOL, classic.
Food looks good too.
when i told blog-less mike about his new found fame he was a bit put out and said it sounded to negative. he says he prefers to be referred to as the anti-mike. i still like blogless.
so would he be blogless in bangkok? is that an idea for a movie?
