Vietnum Pho

Do you like to have the vietnum cuisine?
I like it very much.

In Sengoku area, there is the ABK - The Asian students cultural association. We can see a lot of asian students associating there especially at its buffet floor.

Actually there are some vietnum restaurant in Tokyo, but this Pho is really special.

KARAI-RICE

In Japan, Curry-rice is a kind of Japanese food.
It is really different from Indian.

This day, I ate it at Ginza-Castle(but very small restaurant) watching Ichiro Suzuki's nice hitting on the final WBC game!

il Salotto at Irifune

I guess there are too many Italian restaurant in Tokyo. More than any other country's.

Why do Japanese like Italian so much?

I do not why, but I like it.

Hiroshima-YAKI

Hiroshima-yaki is a kind of OKONOMI-YAKI of Kansai area.
At Ningyo-cho in Tokyo, the Hiroshima-yaki restaurant named MIYAKOTEI are there.

Actually I am from Kansai-area, so when I eat this kind of food, I miss my hometown.

It took about 8 hours from TOKYO to Changi in Singapore, and we enjoyed dinner at Jumbo seafood among 3 hours for the transit. From Changi to Chennai, it took 4 hours. Too far.... Anyway we got to Chennai almost midnight at last.
