We finally fell asleep after a restless night. The next morning, around eight or nine o'clock, we woke up groggily. She reached for my phone and ordered breakfast delivery from a bakery called suuu bakery in Chongqing Guotai. She ordered a Roman matcha cream bun and a pistachio croissant. Then she got out of bed naked and started cleaning up the mess from last night. I was too tired to help and just looked at my phone bored. Suddenly, I noticed that my Polaroid camera was lying on the bed. Looking at her naked body, a mischievous thought crossed my mind. I quietly leaned forward and picked up the camera without making a sound. I turned it on and took a picture of her busy naked body. As I pressed the shutter, I wondered what her reaction would be when she found out. Of course, I had only intended to tease her, and this kind of photo would not be kept and would be immediately destroyed.
Unfortunately, after I pressed the shutter, I realized that the camera had a flash. A burst of light flashed, and she, who was originally turned sideways, suddenly froze. After realizing what I had done, she quickly rushed towards me and snatched the camera from my hand. Then she silently waited for the photo to develop, carefully examining it for a while before pouting and saying, "This picture actually looks pretty good." "Let me see, let me see!" Her reaction surprised me, and I cautiously said, "I want to see it too."
But she gave me a disdainful look and said, "You're just wishful thinking." Then she scolded me and hit me several times, saying that I was becoming more and more annoying. Helpless, I knew I was in the wrong in this matter, and even if she didn't listen to my explanation, I couldn't do anything about it.
In the end, the photo was cruelly destroyed before I had a chance to see it, and she also bit me a few times.
Omakase Chef's Banquet!#
We continued to linger in the hotel for a while before heading out for lunch.
Although both of us have lived in coastal cities for a long time and seafood is not a rare dish for us, we still went to a Japanese restaurant in this southwestern mountain city far from the sea. It seems that people in Chongqing are not very receptive to Japanese cuisine, and compared to the eastern region, there are only a few Omakase restaurants. The one we went to this time was Sushi Tamaki in Jiefangbei. The reason we chose this restaurant was simply because it was closer to the hotel.
Sushi Tamaki is located on the fourth floor of the Global Financial Center. The exterior of the store is relatively low-key but gives a sense of "high-end". At the entrance is a Japanese dry landscape garden. Inside, on the left is a sake cabinet displaying various types of sake, including my favorite Dassai. On the right is the cooking counter, with the name of the restaurant written in Japanese calligraphy on the wall. The store is not big, with only 10 seats at the cooking counter and a private room for four people. Since there were only two of us this time and we wanted to have more interaction with the chef, we chose seats at the cooking counter. Chef Xiao Jiang gave a somewhat introverted impression but was quite handsome, and you could tell that he took care of his hair every day.
Lunch consisted of the usual eight-course meal and eight pieces of sushi. Since it has been half a year since the day of the meal, I can't remember all the dish names and ingredients, so I only took photos of some of the dishes.

The meal was enjoyable, and there was another couple sitting next to us. To be honest, this was in line with my expectations. In this kind of high-priced restaurant, there would always be couples who never stopped talking from the beginning to the end of the meal, with the woman showing off to her companion. They would talk about Japanese cuisine and then move on to other topics, commenting on each dish. However, the man couldn't even keep track of the order in which the dishes were served.
She ordered a cup of oolong tea, and I ordered a glass of sake. Although the portions of each dish were not large, the meal took a long time, and by the time we reached the sixth piece of sushi, we were already feeling full. She started to playfully ask me to finish the rest of the dishes for her (sigh), so I reluctantly asked the chef to put less rice in the sushi to help her finish the rest. When it came to dessert, she suddenly became energetic and started enjoying it as if she hadn't said earlier that she couldn't eat anything.
