Lunch at Sun with Moon at Wheelock Place

We went to Sun with Moon Japanese Dining at Wheelock Place for lunch last week. Being lunch time, it has its own lunch menu. I decided on the Hokkaido ramen with chicken karaage. It came with miso soup, pickles, appetizer and fruits, plus a choice of iced tea, green tea or coffee. The Hokkaido ramen was one of my favorite dishes and it was good. Al dente ramen with a slice of pork belly, half hard boiled egg, corn and a tiny slab of Hokkaido butter. The fried chicken provided additional protein and went well with the ramen. Frankly, I could never understand why Japanese restaurants always served 2 carb items for its bento.

The two girls ordered the same set ~ tempura and salmon sashimi. That looked pretty good too.

September being one of the girls' birthday month, we got a complimentary tofu cheesecake. It was supposed to be a bigger piece but somehow the restaurant staff never got the message we were using the birthday voucher which entitled us to a 20% discount and a free "birthday" cake. They honored the 20% discount upon presentation of the voucher but could not provide the "birthday" cake as it was a different size and it was not available then. So we were given the regular size cake which was fine with us as we were just sharing. Did you realize that as you get older, you hardly want to polish off an entire slice by yourself?

In the end, the staff brought over another slice of the cake for us (2 regular slices for 3 of us) and since we were sharing the 1st cake, we asked for the 2nd slice to be boxed up so she could bring it to work for tea break :p
