Friends get together

Yesterday’s foul weather finally gave way to a bright warm sunny day today. Such fine day gives an urge to go out to enjoy the good weather. I visited the home of a friend whom I had not seen for ages.

Come to think of it, visiting someone’s home in japan is a very rare chance for me and especially its someone that I haven’t been seeing for years. I must have gotten too excited and all I could remember was that I was talking, eating and drinking non-stop. I had a whale of a time.

The home is very cozy. On top of the furniture and layout, in my opinion, a bit of decorations here and there certainly does the additional work. I must say I have no idea when it comes to home decorations. I thought I have no sense and so, I couldn’t be bothered with it. But obviously, you don’t need to be an expert for some minor transformations. All it takes is a bit of imaginations, a bit of effort and a few playful touches. I picked up a few items that I thought seems interesting.

Some decorations on the door to greet you to start your morning with before heading off to work.

Didn’t know that the combination of dry flowers, twigs and small little decorations can turn into something creative d(^o^)b.

Oh no! All I know is that this was from Germany. Don’t ask me what it is because I was too busily trying to take pictures than listened to the explanation ( ̄へ ̄|||) .And by the way, the numbers ended at 24.

With a few imaginations, even old plain pine cones can turn into wonders.

Good company, good food, good weather what other else to ask for? Moreover, I was presented with special souvenirs (rice cracker). A deserved to be mention is that the cracker come with a momiji (maple leaf)! WOW, its really beyond beyond description. Creative!

Finally, I knew that maple leaves ARE EDIBLE. It just tastes like ………… leaf, that’s all (LOL). Of course, the cracker is nice.

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^*)/

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).
