The title says it all! I'm going to blog about what I ate from day 24 to day 29 in Hiroshima. A very wtf post that's going to make you feel hungry...so decide if you want to scroll down further or not......................I know you want to. Heh.
Day 24
Lunch
Had homecooked spaghetti with meat sauce for lunch. Actually it was more like 95% mashed tomatoes with 5% minced meat sauce because Okaasan realised that there wasn't any canned minced meat sauce left so she had to make do with whatever that was in the fridge. =D
Dinner
Dinner was rolled cabbage soup with pickled cucumbers as the side dish. I had a part in making the rolled cabbage okay! As you can see in the picture, the rolled cabbage on the left hand side looks like as if it got disfigured or something, as compared to the right hand side one. Yup, I was the one who made the disfigured rolled cabbage. Not bad already okay! At least the minced onions and meat inside didn't fall out. Phew~ The rolled cabbage tasted damn tender because it was boiled for like what...2 hours?
Had boiled sweetcorn as well for dinner.
Day 25
Lunch
Had lunch at this restaurant called Shouintei, which can be found along Tonomachi. Tonomachi was quite an interesting place because there were canals along the streets. Erm...not interesting enough? Okay, there were like tons of carps swimming in the canals, like an aquarium like that.
One thing I like about Japanese food is that it's damn colourful. So colourful to the extent that I normally can't bear to eat them up...but I always do in the end though.
Didn't notice the dot of wasabi on the top of the soba and mixed it in blindly. Only realised it after I ate one mouthful and almost died of spiciness.
Ochazuke that had a mild wasabi taste even after I removed the wasabi. wtf. Damn delicious still though.
I initially thought that the dessert was made from jelly powder or something but to my pleasant surprise, it was actually a carrot kueh that was mildly sweet. Wanted more but each set was only entitled to one. =(
Dinner
Had dinner at this restaurant called Seine de Paris, which can be found inside Hotel New Tanaka.
Started dinner with a delightful plate of scallops topped with grapefruits and tomatoes. Japan's seafood is like omg, so damn freaking delicious lo! Big, juicy and fresh...unlike Singapore's.
Next up was the soup which tasted like as if MSG was free or something and look at the quantity! Pitiful.
Luckily, the rest of the dishes were better than the soup. Had Japanese tiger prawns next. Damn big and juicy~ yum~ I'm making myself damn hungry here and it's like what, 2am...-_-
Next up was steak covered in mushroom sauce. Not as fantastic as the Wagyu I had in Malaysia but definitely worth the money. Okay, I didn't exactly pay for it so I don't know how much it cost but I'm sure it wasn't cheap...because it's a restaurant. The boiled carrots and potatoes that came with it tasted wonderful too~
As if I did not have enough food already, here comes the soft shelled crab spaghetti! Luckily I shared this dish with Otousan or I'll probably end up in hospital for overeating or something. Then again, end up in hospital for overeating such good food...I don't mind. Heh.
Bread. I don't know why they suddenly served bread but I still ate them anyway.
Washed down the food with a cup of tea...
...and a glass of red wine. Was supposed to have dessert but the restaurant was out of desserts that day. wtf?!
Day 26
Breakfast
Hotel breakfast. Usual buffet-style but nevertheless yummy.
Lunch
Had lunch at this little shop near Shuuhoudou/Akiyoshidou. Each of us ordered a Kappa soba set. Why it's called Kappa(literally means "river child") soba I do not know. All I know is that this was damn delicious. Even the onigiri tasted different.(They added salt to it)
Dessert was matcha ice-cream~
Dinner
Had dinner back in Hiroshima where we had gyozas, ika shuumai(squid siew mai, damn tasty and bouncy..wtf) and a side dish that consisted of seaweed and tomatoes. By the way, I made the side dish~ See, I'm a great cook! Placed the chopsticks in the wrong direction though.
Day 27
Lunch
Day 27's lunch was simple because Okaasan was in a rush but even if it's simple, still have to arrange nicely. As you can see, lunch consisted of ika manjuu(squid bau that was as bouncy as the squid siew mai), sushi and a slice of watermelon for dessert.
Dinner
What's this?!!! It's iwashi tempura, or sardine tempura! I almost died whiffing in the fishy smell of the fish when Okaasan was cutting open them. Tasted damn nice though it looks a little scary.
Besides iwashi tempura, we had sashimi too! It included salmon, maguro, sea bream and sea urchin. Didn't really like the sea urchin though as it tasted too creamy. Had tofu, boiled eggplant, miso soup and chu-hi as well~
Day 28
Dinner
Had prawn and squid tempura for dinner. I helped in making them~except that I chickened out when it came to the frying part. Side dish was raw onion rings topped with bonito flakes. I normally don't eat raw onions because it has a stinging taste and it's spicy but the onion rings here didn't taste spicy at all. The best thing is...I know the secret to making it~ but I won't tell you because I'm selfish. Hahaha. Had chu-hi as well. Alcohol again!!
Day 29
Bento
Otousan's bento. I never knew that so many ingredients could be placed inside the seemingly small bento box. There was stir-fried squid, konnyaku, egg rolls, broccoli, tomatoes and even one whole slice of salmon inside. All of them were stuffed into the left compartment, leaving the right side for rice and umeboshi. The bentos I've made before never contained so much food before lo.
Lunch
Lunch was microwaved Hawaiian pizza. Somehow I was so hungry that day that I gobbled up the whole pizza. Yes, I ate one whole pizza by myself. Up till now, I still don't know how I managed to do it.
Dinner
Dinner was seriously ALOT of food to finish. Had corn soup, avocado with tuna(learnt that from tv that day), steak, vegetables and rice. Normally can get full by eating steak or rice alone and so eating both=a very full me. Washed them down with red wine.
Yup, that's the end of my food post of what I ate in Hiroshima from day 24 to day 29. I'm feeling damn hungry now and it's already 2.30am...What am I going to eat?!
