Haagendazs Cafe

http://www.haagen-dazs.co.jp/maison/

I was on Saturday shift for the first time. I knew I had to do something cool after work to make up for not being able to do anything exciting at work. So I asked my colleague what we could do around there. I had fancy chocolate opera cake. It was very rich in chocolate. It would have been the perfect photography subject but the dessert looked too delicious... There was a nice surprise when we finished with the payment. I got a free Haagendazs pen cuz today was the cafe's first anniversary! Since it was so expensive, I am not sure if I would go back there again but it was definitely a great experience.

Miso Tonkatsu

Yesterday I went to Nagoya and had the best tonkatsu I've ever eaten. Apparently Nagoya is famous for using a miso sauce instead of the standard tonkatsu sauce. I have to say, the miso sauce was AMAZING. I think I want to learn to make it the same way at home.

I'm not dead yet.

So it has been quite a while since I posted here... I'm actually now living in Japan and have a lot of food stories to come!! For now to make up for my silence, here's a bunch of food that I've been cooking.

Grilled salmon with veggies (it's natural to be jealous)

Rice + Stew

Udon and veggies, with oyster sauce
