interior of the restaurant

my order of beef. yes folks, thats ALL. one serving like this for 1500 yen. wout veg, wout rice. juz a few pcs of beef.

the fire nearly burnt my camera.

i need more food. so i ordered a spicy tofu soup. as my japanese sucks, i tried to tok to them in english. big mistake. after 10 mins of hum-haw-ing, they went to the neighbour shop n asked an obasang (whose english is SUPERB) to come n b a translator. juz bcos i wan soup. pai seh.....

mcpork. i finally got my 1st bite of mcpork....ok lor, so so. too salty for me.

and yes, i manage to squeeze out abit of time after work to walk around. took the train (SUPER COMPLICATED!!!) to shinjuku. u noe, i went all the way there juz to look for this.

behold.......

PIERRE HERMES!!!!!!!

for those ppl who r damn clueless, i suggest u go google. pierre hermes is the original shop in paris that sells the world's BEST macaroons. and japan is the oni country outside paris to have the honour to hav their franchise set up. in tokyo, oni this shop in shinjuku.....

i was so so so so so so so so x infinity happy to buy one box back. i took the whole box back to singapore. yes, by air. n it cost me abt s$100 for 16 pcs.

even the box looks nice.

after buying the macaroons (n kena shoo-ed away cos we r nt supposed to take pix of the shop), i went to yamachan for their famous nagoya style chix wings.

they even hav pix to teach u how to eat the chix wing!

chix wings goes well w bee-lu

this dessert is wonderful. i can still rem the taste as i typed.fried popiah skin w mochi inside.yumz.

chix wings!!!!! ok la, not bad. i had 10 of this.

guess what???

ta dah.....for u to put ur chix bones. clean bones. explains hw nice the wings r.

karage, kns. nt nice. i felt cheated cos all i tasted was bones and cartilage. no meat one.

boss brought us to his fav ramen shop in shinjuku for dinner the following day after work.

the shop is famous for their pork broth. super rich n thick. u definitely cant find this taste in singapore. yumz.

i finished mine in 5 mins.

went walk around after dinner.

found a shop that sells all rocker and visual stuff. damn cool man the shop.

i will buy the whole shop if i can afford it.

hahaha. a ring cost 10k yen......my god.....

i took pix w the shop keeper there. he is actually v gentle n nice. spoke softly n nicely (in english!). n when i asked him for a pix, he agreed readily (n abit shy too!haha.) but i look like crap in my office wear w a fake rocker face....bleh.

my bfast b4 i went to the airport.

the macaroons r for my baby actually. look at how happy she is. worth all my trouble losing my way in tokyo to find them. :)

PS: look at wat my bro is doing in the background.....hahahahahaha
