Pink Julep Eats: Hare & Tortoise

On Tuesday night, my husband phoned to say he would be running late and would probably grab a sandwich for dinner. This happens from time to time and I'm totally used to it. Most of the time I just have a bowl of soup or a sandwich in those cases, but on Tuesday, I was hungry and wanted a meal. So I walked next door to Hare & Tortoise, which I'd never tried before and asked for a table of 1. (sad, I know!)

I ordered the Spicy Tuna Maki (without onions because I don't like them) as a starter and it was DELISH!!! I hadn't had sushi in so long! I will definitely be heading back to Hare & Tortoise for sushi in the future! I also really enjoy their Diet Coke in a bottle! For some reason, Diet Coke always tastes better when it comes out of a glass bottle. For my main I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry. Its the same dish I usually order at Wagamama and I have to say, I like Wagamama's Katsu Curry better, but it's simply a matter of taste. The two establishments do not make them the same. Wagamama's sauce is a thick, true curry sauce while the curry sauce at Hare & Tortoise is more like a thick stew with potatoes and other vegetables in it. It's very good, but not at all my favorite. I think I'll stick with sushi next time I go!
