Teri-Aki, Cambridge


D and his family come over, typically after they said they would, casting various aspersions to Cambridge’s rush hour traffic and after some discussion we go to Teri-Aki, but not before we considering Domino’s Pizza! Domino’s, rather unsurprisingly, do not deliver to where D lives in rural Lincolnshire and it is a 30 minute round trip collection trip to his nearest branch. He still needs to be persuaded that it’s easier for him to get a pizza than a Bento box in his neck of the woods.
This talk of ribs over the last day or so has inspired me to have Spare Ribs Udon, Spare Ribs noodle soup, together with a Soft Shelled Crab in Tempura Batter. The latter inspired by an excellent dish in a Korean restaurant in London which my sister frequents. It is just as good here with the moderate crunch of the light batter contrasting well with the slightly sweet crab meat and shell. My main comes in a huge bowl with the ribs sitting on top of vegetables and thick slippery, white noodles in soup and it’s only now I realise what a logistical challenge this will be to eat with only chopsticks and a spoon! Luckily the meat is easily stripped from the ribs for a fulfilling dinner and unlike D’s wife, K, I don’t have a toddler sitting on my lap while eating mine; K performing this multitasking balancing act is my evening’s entertainment.
