Kaneda Japanese Restaurant: Siblings who lunch
I had my four wisdom teeth out yesterday afternoon. The procedure went fine – it was under a general anaesthetic, so I went to sleep and when I woke up I had four less teeth! In fact, the hardest part was having to fast with no eating after 8am or drinking after 10am. Particularly not drinking – it was HOT yesterday. I must admit that I was naughty and took a few tiny sips of water to wet my mouth after 10am.
Today I’m not feeling too bad. The inside of my mouth is swollen and is a touch uncomfortable. The discomfort is not bad enough for me to take painkillers yet, although I do have some on hand if this changes. I also made soup to get me through the next few days – pumpkin, and beef and vegetable. Soup is okay, but I can’t wait until I can eat normal food again!
Before my surgery, Bro and I had another lunch together. I felt like cheap Asian food again, and we went into the Mid City Arcade on Bourke Street and came across Kaneda Japanese restaurant.
They had a good selection of bento boxes on the menu, so we both selected one.
I had the Unagi Tempura Set, which came with the unagi tempura, sashimi, fried chicken, a spring roll, green salad, miso soup and rice ($13.50). You can’t really go wrong with something deep fried β certainly not with me β and the unagi was great! The batter looks a bit darker than you normally see, but it was still nice and light. And it had that yummy unagi fattinessβ¦ mhmmmm….
Bro had the assorted sushi and salmon sashimi set, which came with salmon sashimi, assorted sushi, fried chicken, spring roll, green salad, miso soup and rice ($13.50).
With all the deep fried items it wasn’t a particularly healthy lunch, but it was quick, casual and a reasonable price.

Take care of yourself, Agnes! For the next few days, icecream counts as a meal. π

Thanks Cindy! That’s a good tip about ice cream. π
Lisa – so over soup already! I had a burger for dinner tonight! It was kind of hard to eat but I still ate it!
Danny – yep, it’s hard to go wrong with deep fried goodness! π

Sounds like a painless procedure you had. I hope when it’s my time to take it out, I be sleeping though the operation…hehehe

Hi Kay – yep, it was fairly painless! I was surprised at how easily the procedure went (well, I was asleep the whole time!) but also how well I felt afterwards. It definitely wasn’t half as bad as I was expecting. Hopefully you have a similar experience when it’s your time to get them out. π
