YAKIMONO

If you are looking for real,  FRESH, DELECTABLE sushi then Yakimono is the place to go. Located on the beautiful, trendy Rotschild Blvd, Yakimono restaurant awaited our ravenous stomachs with succulent seafood.

We decided to try the tasting menu. The menu for two is at a price of 180 shekels per person.

We began with the Kushi Yaki Salad- sweet pickled vegetables, Kaiso Special- seaweed, cucumber, avocado, and salmon in chef's sauce.

Karuma Ebi- jumbo shrimp with wasabi cream sauce,sexy dish, soft and creamy,

Goma Sushi Mora- sushi balls wrapped with salmon in chef's sauce- totally melted in our mouths! Rainbow Special- salmon and avocado wrapped with selection of chopped fish, we gasped with pleasure, Spicy Nigiri- sashimi salmon wrapped around rice topped with chopped salmon, Gonkan Sakana- special nigiri with selection of chopped fish, Gonkan Hamachi- special nigiri of yellowtail, sent shivers all over our bodies! Maguro Pepper- seared tuna and lemon finely sliced with pepper sauce, Gyuu Niku Koshoo- beef filet in pepper sauce, served with garlic rice,it was so good we just wanted to leave it in our mouths for days but eventually we had to swallow!

Shiromi Zakana Basil- Grey Mullet cooked in  coconut milk, basil and spicy chili, saucy and stimulating!

Next to our must have sake drinks we had delicious cocktails called A.C cocktail- named after the amazing father (of blessed memory) and son duo owners Avi and Alex Cohen. The cocktails are pink, sweet , fresh and exquisite!

For dessert- Tapioca Brulee- Tapioca Creme brulee served on phyllo dough with ginger marmalade and the Nemesis Cafe- Baked Chocolate Mousse with mocha brulee - both dishes were so decadent that obviously we got double dessertgasms!!

Yakimono is an enchanting restaurant with an alluring clientele, great for first dates, celebrations and basically for anyone who appreciates high quality seafood and a professional staff.

                                                                                      BAD BOYS

Why do we girls date bad boys? It's the same old question...we know the answers but we keep doing it! WHY DAMMIT?

1- Bad boys are a CHALLENGE. Nice boys are usually predictable and boring. We want the excitment of the unknown!

2- Bad boys are tres sexy!- ALL OF THEM!

3- Bad boys are tres CHARMING!! Nice guys talk the usuall talk, or they dont know what to say and they mumble, and turn red. Ah, but not with the bad boy! They just charm the Cr@! out of you!

4- Bad boys can be fixed- or so we think. Us girls have a nurturing instinct" so we like to take on a bad boy  as a project and try and "fix" him. We try and help him grow up....

5- Bad boys keep us on our toes!-  He isn't confined by social norms- he lives the moment! BOOM!

6-  Bad boys and SEX- These sexy men love to make us women happy! No usuall and boring, nope. These guys have all the secret moves and they want to PLEASE us!

Yes, This all seems like fun but REALLY? Come on! We all secretly want the forever and the forever is the NICE GUY, the BAD BOY is good for a while but once we did that it's time for us to date the NICE GUY! Why?

1-  Nice guys give back! They go out of their way to make YOU happy.

2- A nice guy will never IGNORE you.

3- A nice guy shows you respect. He is a gentleman. What girl doesn't like  her man to : open doors for her, send her flowers, pay the bill and treat her like a princess?!

4-  A nice guy DOES NOT play mind games.

5- A nice guy can be THE ONE! We all want the fairytale story. A romantic prince. Beautiful babies. Forever. That can totally only happen with the nice guys.

But in the meantime--- LET'S HAVE FUN! LET'S PLAY!! BRING ON THE BAD BOYS!

                                                                                               ARIA

Seductive restaurant with dimmed lighting and elegant clientele. We arrived at around 8pm and decided to order from the tasting menu.You get to choose seven dishes and two desserts at a price of 128 shekels per person.

Our favorites were the Scallops on Black Rissoto and Crab Sauce-  the scallops were soft and tender little balls of pure pleasure in our mouths, the Tartar- (drum fish) was fresh and gingery, over the black tobico, gave us bursts of oral orgasms one after the other.The Ravioli with Foie Gras and glazed rum was tres scrumptious. The Velvety Artichoke Soup- was creamy and caressed our tongues gently.

For dessert we ordered the Nemesis- tonka beans, nemesis with caramelized sea salt, burnt marshmallows, coco beans, crumble and vanilla ice cream, was so delicious it was beddable!. The Mascarpone Cream and Red Berries- Vanilla Mascarpone cream, with almond crumble, meringue kisses and red berries confiture - when the mascarpone reaches your tongue you feel like you are sitting on a cloud surrounded by angels that kiss you and make your heart bleed jelly.

The bartender spoiled us with delicious cocktails called ElderFlower Collins- just a sip makes you feel tipsy, vaben style (oxazepam) if you know what we mean ;)- while it was raining outside, we were sipping our ElderFlower Collins and we felt we were on a beach in Saint Tropez with great chill out music and comfortable ambience.

Aria is a great place to go on dates, celebrate an occassion or just go for an upscale delectable meal in the heart of one of the sexiest cities on the planet - TEL AVIV.

Be sure to ask for the darling waitress Mika ;)

CHEF GUY GAMZO 

Chef of Aria Restaurant

1. What is you favorite dish on the menu? My favorite dish on the menu is the Spicy Calamari Salad, I love the combination of the fresh Calamari, with yougurt and mint together with spicy chillies.

2. What inspired you to become a chef? I was always drawn to the kitchen. As a child I used to watch my mother cook and always helped her, asked her questions and was fascinated by food.

3.What would you cook to impress a girl?  Luckily I do not need to impress girls anymore but what I made to win my wife over was Coquilles Saint Jacques on white almond cream and Blue-crab bisque. I made it for her a few years back and we always said that when I have my own restaurant it will have to be on the menu.
