Take out from Oms/b

After having early lunch at Trois Crepes Patisserie, we decided to stop by at Oms/b to get some take out for our late lunch. We have been here before and really enjoy their omusubi (rice ball). Omusubi is not a form of sushi even though it is similar to sushi. The difference between these two is: omusubi is made with plain or lightly salted rice, sushi is made of rice with vinegar added to it.

I knew that I should not go too late if I wanted to have more selections available. Unfortunately that day when I arrived even at 1 pm, they didn't have much left already, so I only bought a few rice balls: eel, shrimp pop corn, football rice, shrimp tempura and lobster salad. Not only they looked adorable, they were very tasty too.
