Here are some pictures from new foods I've experienced lately... The first one is called Monjakaki. They bring out a bowl of foods like cabbage, sprouts, other veggies, and pancake batter. You have to follow the directions to use the oil and spices to make your own meal on the table. It's really fun, just make sure you have English directions!
This is me flipping it over when the timer runs out. Bam!
Yeah, so this looked really gross...see bowl below.
Soft boiled eggs are really popular here...I had to throw it on the grill just a bit longer.
And here in the Finale! Delicious!
I was feeling adventurous one afternoon and decided to try an Indonesian restaurant. The first course was soup. Yum Yum! Challenge of the day: Almost all restaurants here have their entire menus made of plastic food sitting out front...like a visual menu. There is even a special factory near Tokyo that makes the different foods. One of the 3 pictures below is plastic...which one?
This was my 2nd course with chicken, fried rice, an egg, and this piece of crunchy rice cake type thing that was really good.
This was a bowl of fruit with coconut milk. Mmmmm good!
I tried this fish while I was at the Mt. Takao Beer Garden. I was a bit hesitant because it was a WHOLE fish...head, body, tail. Eeeeewwww! But, I ate it all without much expectation of greatness...and what did I find you ask? It was very good...hard to get over the fact that it looked at me while I ate it, but very good. I will even each another, so WATCH OUT fishies!
I was craving Thai food, which didn't live up to the Magic Kitchen standard, but that's a high bar to reach! After dinner we were served dessert, which was this green liquid with basil seeds and ice cubes. The seeds were surrounded by a gelatinous substance and crunchy on the inside (see picture below). It was actually very refreshing, and I will be sure to have more.
Happy Eating!
