Last night

was a pretty damn cool night out.
I met up with [livejournal.com profile] pinkapplejam and [livejournal.com profile] raggedy_man, said Hi to the fluffy cats and then we had a taxi take us to Japas Bento Box, a reasonably new Japanese restaurant in Cambridge (Saxon road, round the corner from The Snug) and the restaurant arm of the Green Box Sushi takeaway/delivery service.
Their menu is quite extensive, from sushi in various shapes and sizes with a large variety of topping/filling; hot food like tempura and other fried dishes to bowls of noodles and curry.
The deep fried soft shell crab starter was amazing as was the mackerel nigiri (so soft!) and the grilled eel temaki hand roll (almost too beautiful to eat on it's laquered wood holder), the skewered prawns were a bit overdone for my liking but still tasty. I also shared some of my friends' dishes (curry udon, aubergine skewers, chicken nuggets). Very tasty indeed. Not cheap but worth it.
The killer on our bill was the fizzy hana-awaka sake which was served cold in its bottle. It's really nice and refreshing but at 9.80 a 250ml bottle, it's just a little bit pricey.
Highly recommended to anyone who likes Japanese or Asian food.

On we walked to the Q Club for the resurrected (under new management) The Calling (Cambridge long-running midweek goth club that had folded a couple of weeks ago). It was a fun night, lots of people and [livejournal.com profile] thedinster played a fantastic set of electro, EBM, proper noise and some dubstep. Noticed that I'm seriously out of shape. :/
Later on, the dancefloor was packed a lot of the time so people clearly had fun. I definitely had a good time, too.
