Reservations: Not required
$10 minimum for delivery
Sun Cafe is tucked away in the outskirts of City Hall where for many years I did not know existed. I have worked and gone to school in my undergraduate days in this neighborhood and not once noticed that there was a Japanese restaurant, let alone an affordable and peaceful Japanese restaurant. The only reason why I am aware of this restaurant is because of my brother. He and his friends came to this restaurant one day for a friend’s party and told me that for $15 that you spend, you get unlimited sake. He also said that if I’m not a fan of that, the prices are very affordable; for example soda is just $1 and where can you get that in restaurants these days. To make up for the times of not being aware of this restaurant, I decided to come to this restaurant with my friend Sally to see if my brother is right! Plus, times are tough; I have to get more bang for my buck for sure!

Debasaki Japanese Style Chicken Restaurant
When my fellow Xangan, Azriha wrote a post on Debasaki, I KNEW, just knew that I have to come here. The number one reason being that this restaurant makes fried chicken with stuffing in it!! Just the concept alone is enough to win me over. Now, I have tried different kinds of fried chicken in which I classify by geography. American fried chicken is satisfying, but Korean fried is gourmet and very addictive. I have yet to try Japanese fried chicken, and I made it my mission to go there right after my gym work-out on Saturday. Yes, this is how passionately I feel for asian fried foods!
Understand that just because the restaurant advertised that it is Japanese Style Chicken, doesn’t mean it is runned by the Japanese. In fact, this place is runned by koreans! I don’t know where they got the recipe for Japanese fried chicken, but all I know is that it’s a great idea.
When Finechinaguy and I walked into the restaurant at 10pm, I thought I walked into a trendy lounge. It is dimly lit in there and there’s a stretch that you have you walk down in order to find the waitress. I felt like a model when I walked down that stretch because the whole room was pumped, literally pumped with clubbing music. Ok, Akon’s Dangerous was on, but later on there was other hip-hop, r&b, and pop! As I was walking down with ‘Guy, I noticed that there are booths, just like what my fellow Xanga mentioned.

Las Vegas Wynn Buffet
The Wynn was a very impressive hotel. Gorgeous from the outside and even better from the inside. Of course we had to try the buffet there! It just so happened we were at the shopping center across from the Hotel so we hopped in at the Wynn for lunch.

The buffet is a fairly short walk inside the casino. Don’t let the glittery lights and sounds of slot machines distract your stomach.
More after the jump!
Daifuku Mochi – Sesame & Black Sesame Rice Cake
Daifuku Mochi, Japanese rice cakes, sweet little treats usually filled with red bean paste although there are variations of fruit filling. Sometimes they are covered in corn starch to keep them from sticking to each other. The two pictured are Sesame (Shiro Goma) and Black Sesame (Kuro Goma) covered and about the size of your palm. The other version is about the size of a half-dollar coin. If you love tasty treats or love Red Bean, have a try at these, they can be found at any Japanese market and sometimes Asian supermarkets.

Las Vegas Caesar’s Palace – Hyakumi Japanese Restaurant Sushi Bar & Noodles
After walking around all day towards Caesar’s Palace, which simply amazed us, we were hungry of course. But we had to eat light! How else would we last for more buffets? We didn’t even eat breakfast just to save our appetite.

Just had to show this picture that came out great of the fountain inside the main entrance. Restaurant and more importantly, food after the jump!
