Eating out with the top chef of one of the premier restaurants in the world means guaranteed good food, and a potential culinary adventure somewhere along the way. Aside from the wonderful entry into one of the best yakitori places I’ve been to, it also meant getting a whiff of chicken sashimi.
Yup, that means fine slabs of raw chicken.
I also said ‘whiff’ because I did not eat it. It smelled everything delicious as it was partially seared. I do not doubt the quality of the chicken but due to a bordering-on-losing-consciousness kind of painful food poisoning episode I’ve had in the past from chicken issues, I did not want to risk my own tolerance— no matter how appetizing it really looked.
So frustrating!
I envy people with sturdy stomachs and those who can eat anything anywhere with total freedom! 
salmonella
Interesting, I’ve never even seen such a dish before, would definitely not eat it, haha!
I wanted to try it even for the sake of saying that I’ve tried it — but paranoia got the better of me :p
Haha never be ashamed about that
better safe than sorry!
Oh, you bet!
I am the same & hate going to ER via ambulance whilst dying in pain and dehydration ! just thinking of eating this is risky….!
Just the memory of it makes me shiver just a bit. Such a terrible feeling of helplessness :/
Oh! what a dilemma. I’d do the same thing..
Reblogged this on MmArcvies.
I envy those people too. With 6 food allergies (one of them being a card carrying, throat will swell up and close deal) I’m pretty limited to what I can choose from menus. If I could, I’d eat everything. I LOVE food…..except raw oysters. Yuk!
Whenever I hear of people with food allergies, it makes me sad because I’ve seen the frustration and the inconvenience. Strangely, I can eat seafood but any time it’s not fresh in the slightest bit, the skin on my tongue and throat feel like it’s two inches thick
Yes, I’ve had an episode with shellfish, too!
Mmm, not sure it’s worth the risky owner beautiful it looks or smells.
Needless to say, that one pain was enough to keep me away from such things (unfortunately). Good thing, though, is everyone came out fine after the dinner
Looks great, but agree about the chicken..
And it really was very tempting… :
