The Fish in Kiku Zakura

Location: Kiku Zakura (菊樱), in Upper Concourse level of Avenue K.

Service: Oh, it was good! Maybe it's because the place was deserted at 7pm on the Saturday night, but the waitress was very nice: I asked the restaurant to prepare a table with a view of the fish tank while Sam was still running on the ramp along the corridor, & the waitress very wisely placed the baby chair directly facing the fish tank. Hence, Sam was happily entertained throughout the meal. A great blessing!!!

Baby chair: The clean sturdy-looking wooden chair was comforting at 1st sight with its safety harness. However, halfway through the meal, I found Sam no longer facing the table. Apparently, the chair can be rotated around on its legs (dunno for what reason. for ease of storage?), & Sam had loosened the locking peg by simply shaking around in his seat!
I spent the rest of the meal trying to forestall Sam shaking to loosen the peg on purpose!

Kids' utensils: No plastic versions available. A metal teaspoon & a small ceramic bowl was provided after I requested for utensils for Sam. Fortunately for me, Sam wasn't in a playing-with-bowl mood today. ;P

Kids' menu: Nil. However, the menu includes ochazuke (rice with various ingredients in tea), which is perfect when Sam's not in the mood to chew rice.

Entertainment: No planned ones. However, the fish tank, so obviously for good fengshui, turns out to be a great distraction for Sam. He kept wanting to show the fish his cars & made several tries asking the fish to stop swimming!

The ring-shaped chopsticks holder provided also turned out to be an unexpected toy. Sam had a lot of fun wearing it as a ring on his finger & charting it around on his toy cars.
