otooya lunch

I took lunch at one of my favourite japanese restaurant called ootoya.

Besides chinese food, Japanese food tops my list of favourite foods. Not that I had experience with so many different types of cuisines around the world, but my preference for food are those which are “light”. When I mean “light”, vegetables are a MUST, oily foods are out, all meat only dishes are out, serving must not be too big (I must admit that I am not a big-eater) and foods that are saltish is a No No.

In general, the food balance for Japanese set lunch or dinner (known as teisyoku) are very well considered. Few types of vegetables usually accompany the set with miso soup. Its important for people like me who don’t do much cooking to include a bit of intake of every kind and they make me feel healthy.

Today’s lunch set is claypot stew chicken cutlet. I must admit I am 100% satisfied.　(*^o^*)/

kawaii socks with ribbon

I could hardly resist these socks with those cute little ribbons on the outside.

It seems that its a new release and came in just 2 weeks ago. They come in pokka dots and borders in colors that represent the autumn season. The way the shop tops it up with colored tights is the in thing for this year’s fashion. I simply love this shop as it offers wide variety of bottoms (from stockings to tights to socks, etc.) catering to all sorts of budget.

If you would like to take a look closer look of the colors for this sock, you might want to take a look at their website (link shown below).

They selling at a price of 1050yen for 3 pairs.

Place your order fast because autumn items have to give way to winter items soon.

Beverage Vending Machine

I have never ceased to be amazed by the beverage vending machines of Japan. There are always a wide choice of variety ranging from sport drinks to mineral water to tea to coffee and others for one to choose from. Occasionally, there are even seasonal beverages, new types of drinks or even new flavors up for grasp. The vending machines are never left empty. The stocks are always replenished even at the most remote part of the country.

See, this vending even has a LCD display showing latest new!

Just wondering if there are other people besides me who will try to read the news?

By the way, you don’t need to understand japanese to identify which are the cold drinks or which are the hot drink ones. Its differentiated by the color of the price tags where blue represents cold drink and red represents hot drinks.

Rice stopper clip

Just as I always wonder if there is any method to make the task of washing rice easier. Problem is that the rice keeps dropping out while I am trying to dispose off the water. I tumbled upon this rice stopper in a supermarket. It certainly does solve the problem.

Hopefully the rice cooker maker won’t keep changing the shape and size of the pot. This cost 250yen (Ref: USD~3.25).

Greetings from tokyo

Its autumn in Japan now. The temperature for this autumn had stayed warm throughout and just as I assure myself that its definitely going to be a mild winter this year, the temperature suddenly starts dipping today (;_;) …

Japan is famous for its beautiful autumn leaves (koyou), but the period varies according to location. In tokyo, one should be able to enjoy this spectacular view around middle of Nov ~ beginning Dec.

Here is a link for those who wonder how Japan’s fall foliage might look like.
