Guu Izakaya @ Richmond: Dinner

After all the good things I have been hearing about Guu, I had some pretty high expectations... Of course, it was Guu over at Robson Street that had all the raves but I still expected the food at the Richmond Branch to be just as wonderful. Since I just finished a major project, on the back home from school, my friends and I decided to have a yummy dinner as a celebration.。◕‿◕。Originally, we were going to G-yo instead but we ended up at Aberdeen so Guu it was!  This is dinner, I should remind, which has no lunch special menu. There was a today's special menu and a normal menu. 

The Special Menu looked pretty interesting. It looked as if was written with a marker and consist of some very interesting items. I believe the group of friends I was with loved communicating with the lovely Japanese waitress ( we asked her the funniest questions and even attempted to speak broken Jap... |_・) ) who came to our table. We asked for her recommendation and her thoughts for every little thing. Since she says she loves the "Hotote Chesse", which was a baked scallop & potato with cod roe mayo and cheese dish, we order it along with some other items. (。♥‿♥。)

Hotote Chesse ($5.80) 
Our first dish was the "Hotote Cheese" which  was the highly recommend dish our wonderful waitress recommend. This was one of the most filling dishes. It was nice, creamy and warm for the winter also! It also has scallops mixed in the potatoes. It reminded me of Sheppard's Pie in way cause how soft the  potatoes were. It was one the best dishes that we had that we even order a second plate later on (♡∀♡).
