August 5th 2023: Sushi and Dessert in Worcester

 Today, while in Worcester, we decided to get lunch from Kenichi Bistro, which I visited once a long time ago.

This time, we got the Crazy Maki (Shrimp Tempura, Avocado, Cucumber & Fish roe with Spicy Mayo and Eel Sauce), the Backdraft Maki (Baked Spicy Salmon, Avocado, Cucumber & Scallions)

the Kenichi Special Fried Rice (Special Fried Rice with Chicken, Beef, Shrimp and Vegetables with Garlic Butter)

and the Kenichi Home Style Dumplings Soup (Delicious Homemade Dumplings Stuffed with Pork, Shrimp and Mix Vegetables in dear Broth)

The sushi was not bad, although the rice and soup were just so-so.

For dessert, we headed nearby to Meraki Coffee Dessert Bar, a decent looking cafe serving dessert coffee and cakes.

we got the Cafe amore (coffee, cognac, amaretto, whipped cream),

the Oreo Mini Cheesecake

and the Ferrero Rocher Cake (chocolate log cake filled with hazelnut mousse and chunks of hazelnut rolled to perfection).

The coffee was not to my liking, and the dessert a tad sweet. Not sure why, but this place somehow rubs me the wrong way. Don't think I am coming back again.
