{Tokyo - Oishi! All About Eating!}

Every simple bento meal from the food hall comes nicely wrapped in paper, stickers, inserted into paper bags and plastic bags. They even prepare for you chopstics and wet tissue. This was our first bento meal.

Crab claw - real crab meat... sweet and juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside. The thing I didn't like about their food hall meals is that the food is all cold... so, yucks.


Gogyo Black Miso Ramen - don't be deceived by it's plain looks. It's ramen texture is just right and the soup base is... ... hm.... MUST try! Fragrant roasted pork taste... absolutely savory!



This is what the Gogyo Ramen shop looks like from the outside. Nicely tucked away in a very unlikely location. We nearly missed it, even though we were just at the building next to it.  



Hotstone White Miso Ramen... Mmmmmm.... fragrant miso smell but taste of sweet pork bone, clear soup that is not too salty... excellent and it comes with 1.5 special Jap eggs - completely cooked egg white with 1/2 cooked egg yolk OMG!!!!


Bento Boxes, so pretty right...



Make your own Japanese pancake. So fun!


Freshly bakes melon bun. Sweet and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy (like cotton wool) on the inside with a subtle but fragrant taste of melon. AMAZINGLY good! The best snack I've had on this trip! Unfortuantely, I only had the opportunity to eat one of these. All the others that they sell at the bakery is not nice, has to be this particular store:




This is so cheap! Half the price of what they sell here. Bought a box and finished it at our trip! Lol... grapefruit tasting collegen drink from Fancl... girls, remember to get this first thing you reach Japan!


Delicious yakitori grilled right b4 your eyes under the tracks of Ueno station. A different experience! We like it! Beef, pork, chicken (Pork mix really means: kidney, intestines, liver etc)... you do pork then slap your arm... they will know you mean pork meat lol)...



I love it that they have caffaine free coke! I can drink and sleep at night! Woo hoo!!


This is like Udon tempura, yong tau fu style. You pick what you like and select the type of noodles you want. At one point, the food court at Raffles Place was serving this and we loved it! But it's no longer there :( This was at Gotemba Premium Outlet Food Court.


Don't underestimate this plate of vending machine curry katsu don. It taste so "home cooked"! I love it! Cheap and good!


Mark's choice of vending machine meal: Soba noodles with a small bowl of Katsu Don. You get the best of both worlds at one price!



Fresh, large, grilled scallop at Tsukji Market... Oishi! Sweet, juicy and scallopy! Hmmm....


This deserves two shots because it's so good!




The best takoyaki balls with egg mayonaise, only found at Tokyo Dome! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside with a generous portion of sotong, topped with my fav egg mayo!!

Ah... my every night ice cream from the 7-11 near our hotel. So huge, M and I shares one... chocolate with cookie crumbles waffle ice cream... so nice!

See, just Tokyo alone, so many fav!!!

Most of my friends think it's a pity I did not eat any sashimi or try any raw food. Well, I have an excellent excuse. I'm allergic to raw food. My lips swell up when I take them. Valid right? Well, the truth is also, I really like my food cooked, very cooked :)
