With Pleasure is running its sushi experience throughout November, so I thought, why not? And to take things a notch higher, I came prepared with questions because there was no way I was putting raw fish in my mouth without first asking a few questions. And that right there is the first misconception.
As a girl from the lakeside, I love fish. Give me a well-fried tilapia, a little kachumbari and I'm a happy girl. But raw fish? That's where I draw the line. Or at least, that's what I thought before I decided to give sushi a chance.
I've always been sceptical about things that come with too much hype, mostly because I fear disappointment. Is it genuinely that good, or is it one of those things people have convinced themselves to enjoy because it's trendy?

According to Executive Chef Eleazar Burgos, one of the biggest misconceptions he would like to correct is the assumption that all sushi is made with raw fish.
