Eating Missed the chef calling me sexy boy

-

DRIVING into Dundee off the bridge I couldn’t help but look at Kobee’s shiny, glassy exterior and think “I haven’t been there in a while”.

Sadly, the place no longer does teppanyaki with the chef cooking it in front of you and calling you names – an experience I’d enjoyed on my previous visit when celebratin­g my future wife’s birthday, despite her surviving having food chucked into her hat without getting egg on her face.

A solid choice, I thought, and one I would stick to no matter what.

Well, for a couple of minutes anyway.

My partner made the same choice and couldn’t understand why us having the same meal would make for a rubbish review.

So I changed to Kobee Delight (£28) which gives duck breast with Angus sirloin for a couple of bob extra with spicy sauce rather than the honey option.

I do love duck so I
