9 Million Stupid Names and Okonomiyaki-venture

There's a place in Fremont called 9 Million Unmarked Bills. It was previously called Triangle, and before that something something..... But they've always been a bar with food, and attracts pretty much the same people. I don't understand why the names change. Decor does not, or at least not noticeably. I will say, 9 Million has great happy hour and a very good menu!

Bacon bloody mary - with a cherry pepper. They also have a Bloody Bonnie -which has basil. I like the bacon one better. The cherry pepper was really interesting. It really does taste like a cross between a cherry tomato and a pepperoncini.

My friend and I tried out an experiment. Take: Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza

Add truffle mac and cheese (sooooo goooooooood)

And you get this!

But the prosciutto kind of masks the subtle flavor of the truffle oil. It all went great with the bloody mary though.

Some friends got together for hot pot and teppanyaki. Some one wanted to try making the okonomiyaki with a mochi in the middle - which is something they saw in their travels in Japan.

Insert mochi (bean sprout base):

Yes, that's bacon you see there, and some beef teppanyaki.

Flip!

Mmm. Finished product! Add seasoning, bonito, mayonnaise, and... I don't know what that brown sauce is. Brown sauce!

Ironically, later that week some one brought in these from Japan:

Okonomiyaki flavored crackers?? Oh no they didn't!!

It.... was ok.
