Japan: Munch-Munch

Unlike Malaysia, there are only so man food types you can find in Japan. At one point, we were having ramen trauma because too sien already. And it's not like you can alternate ramen-sashimi-tendon-ramen-sashimi-tendon for 1 week you know. That's like 3 meals a day.

Edit: And ramen isn't even Japanese. It's Chinese. -_-"


Special Ramen @ Akihabara


Akaoni Ramen: Choose Hot Level


Chashu Ramen

Believe it or not, people who can eat in shops UNDER THE BRIDGE is actually quite well-off already. Cos the stuff they sell under this bridge in Akihabara is pretty pricey. The Special Ramen is food for the royal. Hahaha. Kidding. But look at the seaweed in its uncut state. Crowning the bowl. Kerabat diraja indeed.

When I saw the menu for Akaoni Ramen, it said 'Choose Hot Level'. WTF?! There's Hot, Very Hot, and Super Hot. OMG LOL ROFL Fall Off Chair!!! But no worries, Japanese can't eat spicy food anyway. So I tried Very Hot, and it didn't kill me. : ) By the way, WASABI IS NOT SPICY!!! Wasabi is pungent. NOT FUCKING SPICY. It's like raw onion versus chili padi.

Pyo ordered Naruto's favorite - Chashu Ramen, only this wasn't Ichiraku Ramen Shop. Hahaha... And Uzumaki Naruto is actually the white cake with the pink swirls on it. (And Hatake Kakashi means scarecrow of the fields) Don't know what's Haruno Sakura, or Uchiha Sasuke, or Byakuga Hinata though.


Japanese Ramlee Burger

There was this Japanese fast food chain called Lotteria. And forgive my being blunt, but Lotteria burgers are like Malaysia's Ramlee Burger. Only more yummy. At least they have proper places for you to sit and eat.


Lemon Smelly Cunt


Lychee Smelly Cunt

On the first night, we bought a Smelly Cunt back to the hotel. For about 200 yen. Of course Japanese hookers aren't that cheap lah. The drink is called Chu-Hi. Heehee. Yes. Find porn in every aspect of Japan. But it was damn nice okay. Lychee was better, according to Paul.


Salad

It amazes me that they managed to keep the salad green and crispy. But surprisingly, the vegetables are more expensive than the meat stuff. Maybe they have very little land to plant the veggies? Hmm...


Soup

This is something you'll never see in Malaysia, unless your own mother boiled the soup herself. In Malaysia, you only get the liquid. No tofu, no beansprouts, and no seaweed. The little that you do eat went into the bowl by mistake.


Tenya Ebi Tendon

I bet you haven't eaten a proper Tendon before. This is how a tendon looks like *points up* But you say tempura is supposed to be dry and crispy!! Yeah. I said TENDON. It's a fusion of Tempura with Rice. Who eats white rice with tempura? Of course must have sauce ma. And for big eaters, you can also top up to add Cold or Hot Soba Noodles. Damn chun I know. Useful if you can't decide if you want to eat rice or noodles. Why not have both?


Crepe

Kreep. Crap. Crappy. Kreepy. Nevermind. Japanese Crepe is by far the most delicious, the most creamy, the most utterly put-you-in-heaven snack ever invented! Malaysian crepes should be ashamed of themselves!! Seriously they don't cheat you ingredients. When they say double cream, they really mean DOUBLE cream. Look at the cream oozing out!! Damn orgasmic okay.


Ramen again


Soy Sauce Ramen

We were at Roppongi station and saw this shop. Apparently it's damn nice. Remember the 'Golden Mean' egg? I wonder how they do it. Every ramen shop has that same egg. One thing about Japanese food shops is that most of them, you don't need any service from the shop staff. You pick what you want and buy a ticket from a vending machine often placed outside the shop. That ticket will indicate what you want to eat, then you just give it to the guy at the counter. So systematic.


Starbucks - Prepacked

Can't find a Starfucks nearby? Why not buy it from a regular Convenience Store? No joke. They sell Farbucks in Family Mart, Lawsons, Sunkus and their other versions of 7-Eleven.
