Today, I met classmates for lunch at T.Y Harbor Brewery Restaurant, Tokyo.
This restaurant is located over viewing Tokyo Bay.
There are tanks to brew beer at this restaurants.
Some of us, we haven’t met since high school, but we could talk as if we’ve been seen each other often.
It’s nice to get united again.
School mates are special!
Cheers!
I found a nice Chinese restaurant for lunch: Gozenbo, Roppongi.
I had a nice boiled pork set♪
The flavor is different from each Chinese restaurants.
This restaurant is Yunnan Province cuisine.
I would like to try more Yunnan dishes!
It’s hot; I felt lazy to cook tonight.
My friends gave me these canned and frozen food.
These are pratha (Malaysian product, nice and butterly), Thai Green Curry (surprisingly this is a made in Japan product) and chili tuna (Malaysian products, interestingly tuna fish is spicy).
I was lacking vegetable fibers so I thought I should add a seaweed miso soup.
I bought this package at Kamaishi, Iwate which contains dried wakame and tororo seaweed, shrimp, etc.
With this, I don’t need to cook stock; I cook these with hot water and add miso paste.
I also bought this miso paste at Shin Hanamaki, Iwate.
One of major industries for Iwate prefecture is agriculture.
I enjoyed their fresh seafood, meat products, dairy products and vegetables while traveling there last May.
The area was hit by the Great Eastern Earthquake and Kamaishi area was wiped off by Tsunami on 11 March 2011; but Iwate people are kind and tough.
I received their warm smiles and hospitality.
I buy their products to support them.
During Summer, we will sweat a lot and will lose sodium.
Kirin developed Salty Lychee Water and Salty Lime Soda to compensate the lost sodium.
I tried this new Salty Lime Soda today and it’s quite good♪
Last glass of Maltese Lemon Cello.
I visited Malta for last Year-end New Year holidays.
Malta received me with warm hospitality, delicious food, beautiful land and culture.
I would like to visit there again.
One day, I will introduce beautiful country Malta.
A bottle in red is Maltese Cactus Liqueur.
This is also nice♪
Mom visited me and she brought her homemade cooking.
We had a late lunch together and opened a bottle of Moët.
Ummmmm, it was nice.
After lunch, we took a nap. hahaha
We woke up at 7 pm; it was already dark. Ahhhh
On every 4th Saturday of July, about 20,000 fireworks go up on Sumida River.
I went to Sumida River to watch it few times.
I enjoyed watching it from the bottom of fireworks and listened to the sound.
Today, we watched it on TV. hahaha
We call out old fireworks’ business name when fireworks go up.
Tamayaaaaaa
This is seasonal, too.
The other day, I introduced an innovative Danish product.
Today, I would like to introduce a Japanese innovative packaging.
Onigirri, a rice ball, is Japanese traditional food.
It fs very handy to eat at anytime, as a breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner and even late night snack.
First, pull down a strap.
Second, pull a wrap sideways.
Third, pull another side of wrap sideways.
Seaweed is sandwiched by layers of plastic wraps; therefore seaweed is nice and crispy till you open it.
And I won’t dirty my hand!!
It comes in many flavors: salmon, tarako (fish roe), tuna mayonnaise, sour plum, etc.
You can find it at any convenience stores.
Please try it one day!
A nice family invited me for lunch, home made Malaysian food.
I had Sarawakian Laksa (noodle), beef, chicken, tomato rice and nice Sarawakian layered cakes, cookies and fruit.
It was delicious and we enjoyed our conversation while eating.
Tonight, I was invited for dinner at the Manhattan Fish Market at Ikebukuro.
I haven’t met them for two years and I was excited to see them again!
Food is American style fried seafood, but this restaurant is Malaysian franchise restaurant.
It was interestingly a Malaysian Day!!
At last, I met Ultraman! hahaha
We (Mom and I) enjoyed Danish and Swedish beers, salad, assorted sausages (including reindeer sausage) and favorite meatballs with mountain berries.
We talked about our recent trip to Scandinavian countries and discussed about our next trip.
After dinner, I enjoyed mint green tea at home.
This is Denish tea.
It’s nice and I can brew tea in the bag!
They are so innovative and fashionable!!
I love traveling!
Ummmm, creammmmmy.
Cannot be wrong!!!
