KYOTO: Kichi Kichi ザ・洋食屋 キチキチ

I remember many many years ago, when I was still a lowly medical student, there was this viral internet video. It was about a chef cooking Omu-rice. It was so fascinating and entertaining for me, and I told myself, when I ever go to Kyoto, I would have to make a pit stop there.

First trip to Kyoto - Didn't make it there. I was only there for 2 days with a friend and I didn't prebook it before hand.

Second trip to Kyoto - I told Nick, I DO NOT CARE. I HAVE TO SACRIFICE A KAISEKI MEAL FOR THIS OMURICE!
I remember counting down everyday to 6 weeks before my dining date so that I could make a booking and secure my seat.

I was SO EXCITED.
I was talking about it and bragging to all my friends about me having secured a reservation.

TADA! MY OMU RICE !!!

 Beef stew

Truth to be told...... The taste was lacklustre... However.. I don't think I would say I'm thoroughly disappointed. Because what attracted me was the cook up, was the entertainment the chef provided. And he delivered his performance SO WELL. 110/100!

Would I go back again? I probably wouldn't. I think I cook a better tasting omurice to be honest. I would highly recommend any couple to just order 1 serve of omurice and 1 beef stew. I don't think the 1 serve each of omurice is worth the space in your stomach.  The beef stew was nice.
