So we can finally cross off our list two of Iwakuni's most popular restaurants: Primavera and G.Labo.
We tried out Primavera, a Japanese/Italian fusion restaurant with our friends Ted and Chisato.
 |
| An appetizer of eggplant, cheese and tomato sauce |
 |
| A delicious corn chowder (you can actually buy this soup in cans in most vending machines - it's really cool because the Japanese vending machines have hot rows and chilled rows all in the same unit!) |
 |
| I ordered a smoked salmon panini with olives and Italian dressing |
 |
| Kirk ordered a chicken and eggplant entree. The sauce was to die for (she actually dipped her finger in it for a taste a couple times, so rude!). The one thing Kirk doesn't like though is that they leave all the fat on the chicken (we rarely see chicken breast options at restaurants). We do like dark meat, but it can be difficult to eat sometimes due to all the fat. |
 |
| Kirk got Primavera's specialty cappuccino, which featured the barista's artistic abilities! She didn't want to drink it because it was "so cute". |
We tested out the G.Labo Restaurant with Nick and Neda, and Christy and Sergio, which is located on the "Yellow Brick Road" in downtown Iwakuni.
 |
| The best thing about G.Labo is their garlic bread! Each couple ordered one loaf and we scarfed them all down quickly. Sergio and I discovered the best part is actually the crispy garlic butt on the bottom that no one thinks to eat - yum! |
 |
| Kirk got a chicken appetizer dish with chipotle mayo on a fried pasta bed. She wanted me to add, "Look at all that icky fat!" |
 |
| I got the Duck and Mushroom pasta - with a garlic oil dressing. |
 |
| A satisfied group after a great meal! |
