Steak Teppan @ Kamikaze, Circle on Cavill, Surfer's Paradise

Spending time on the Gold Coast can make you really hungry. It was still early. And the funny thing was, all the while, we thought that Queensland follows Daylight Saving Time, which it doesn't. We didn't realize that we've been way too advanced all along, so we ended up having early dinner. Tonight was also Australian Idol night. We really don't have any sure bets on who will be winning yet, but we do have our favorite singers. I digress. Back to food blogging.

Deciding on which restuaurant to eat wasn't rocket science. We wanted to try a place calle Melba which was offering cheap steaks that night, but after seeing the early night crowd, we decided to pass. It was too raunchy for a 5-star place. We walked over to Circle on Cavill, which was actually a nice, all alfresco dining area with a handful of restaurants to choose from. We decided on having Japanese, settling on Kamikaze, which promises to serve good teppan and teriyaki plates.
EN and I shared a small plate of sashimi with octopus, squid, tuna, smoked mackerel and salmon. Simple and fresh but not impressive.

My choice was a hot and spicy fillet steak teppan with miso soup, rice and kamikaze salad. The fillet steak was tender. I wasn't expecting it to be food. I was thinking that it will just be ordinary. I liked the way it was cooked and the way the steak was cut, right across the grain. It was well-executed. By the time we left, the place was packed.
