The local food is AWESOME! Super tasty and super cheap. My only gripe is that they don't serve enough meat with their dishes, which is understandable since meat is a rare commodity here. I've been eating katsu curry rice pretty much everyday since day 2, it's the best thing since sliced bread i swear. Even as we speak i feel like i have to go out and get some since i haven't had it yet today. Thank goodness there's a 24 hour restaurant chain here that makes it.
Now on to western food, or what i call the "Japanese attempts to make western food". TERRIBLE! The other day i had pizza (i can barely call it that) and all i can say is that it tasted like tomato sauce and cheese on pizza base, where's the meat! Growing boys like me need their meat! Damn i miss Aus pizza... BBQ Chicken... oh man... OK and tonight we went to a place that resembled Krispy Creme back in Aus. Keyword: resembled. The double choc doughnut i had was flavourless... boo
Moral of the story? If you're eating in Japan, eat the local stuff.
Think that was it. Stay tuned for our next post: Pics of Kokura, our "Sydney".
Another Japanised version of western food is the 'hamburger'. What they call a hamburger is an oval ball of meat. With sauce. Like Quoc said, there isn't enough MEAT in their food - i'm a carnivore...where's the meeeaaat! oh and butchers don't exist T_T all the meat in the supermarket comes precut and packaged.
The 'vegetables' here in food is pretty much cabbage - that's the staple or something - at first we both ate it straight - then we realised you could put dressing on it lol. Eating cabbage straight and plain is what real men do, rawr! You sure its cabbage? I thought it was lettuce...
There's surprisingly a lot of fried stuff - they usually coat their meat in egg and bread crumbs to make it look bigger? but they drain it pretty well... and the side dishes are mostly healthy so yeah...
P.S. it's 4:04am and i can't sleep, i thought i left insomnia back in sydney...
oh btw - the other day we accidently stumbled into an expensive yakiniku place - japanese bbq
the sauce was so good T_T
the green tea taste is stronger here
