Breakfast at Cafe Claire, Oriental Residence BKK

This breakfast charges THB650++.  Supposed it should have been of some 5 star hotel quality, but the truth is in a 3 star quality.  Some rotten veggie and papaya were found.  Coffee machine wasn't cleansed well, leaving some residues and dry sour taste in it.  Such a spoil to the illy coffee as they claimed to have.  Quite disappointing indeed.

Deep fried pork chop rice, Shinjuku, Tokyo

There are quite a no. of restaurants in Japan without a proper English name.  I was brought to this place and I wouldn't go in if I wasn't told about it.  Interesting that I walked by this street many times.  Their deep fried coating is quite special with some taro slices on it, making it even more crispy and aromatic.  The rice was nicely cooked to a perfect texture.

Omote Nansi chicken restaurant, Minami Aoyama, Tokyo

One thing I like Japanese cuisine is their specific type of cooking or food so that they can be more concentrated on studying the technique and inventing more diverse cooking.  This time this restaurant is about chicken, especially in chicken wings.  In fact, they have had some very nice farm chicken used.  So either it's bbq, steamed, or boiled in rice.  All are above standard.  No complaint!

A soy meal set as plug flower blossom, Ueno, Tokyo

Got brought to this theme restaurants serving all the cuisine with tofu or soy milk.  At first, I doubt if it would be too unique to have all the food made of tofu.  I'm amazed at how they can have such a diverse menu as soy bean soup, steamed, deep fried, grilled, dessert...etc. dishes.  Highly recommended!

Okinawa cuisine, Freedom Hill, West Tokyo

Walked by this shop and got in for some Okinawa bitter gourd.  To some extent, Okinawa cuisine is quite Chinese.  They use quite a lot of bean sprouts and veggie.  It's nice to try this kind of low cholesterol food.  What's more, their stir frying is very Chinese with powerful wok and fire.
