The Japs Are Cool and I Do Love Eating Jappy Food

Are you expecting an update after the circus tickets have been reserved? I think that would come after this post because at the moment, I still need to sort out the photos that were NOT taken "SO BADLY" because it was dark and it was NOT allowed to take photos while they perform. Thus, I tried to hide my flashing camera.

The other week, we need to have our lunch in a Japanese place. It is called Furusato Restaurant located at the front of Rijswijk station (the Hague, Netherlands), two stations (tram) away from my office. It was a great experience to eat completely in a Japanese manner. I mean, I have eaten Japanese food and stuffs but it was the first time I did completely indulge... Literally, in ALL! Why do I say that? Consider the following:

1. I have never used chopsticks in public. I used it alone to practice at home or when I eat noodly stuffs. That day, I used the sticks in all my food, in all arouund (more or less) 9 batches of them! Wow! And that was in public, together with all my colleagues. That was cool.

2. Of course all of us had to waer that apron/biblike thingy that they put on their customers to be obviously not be stained with any wetty thing from the food. I had that bib too!

Now he's grilling mushroom and salmon... yummy tummy, even the smell...

3. I ate all the way to finish. I remembered it was more or less 9 batches of servings and I have to say it was too much but well, every serving is another more interesting thing and that what made us all go on and eat and eat! The sushi came first, the soup, the salads, the grilled salmon, the rice mix, the grilled beef, the sprout beans, the this and the that that I don't remember anymore. I ate almost all, except the sprouted beans and the soup because they don't appeal to me. That was a tasty meal. And even the mixed and stir fried rice, I ate all with sticks Aha!

One thing I do like in that setup in Japanese Resto? All were cooked in front of us. They showed all, cooking, preparation and serving of those food we ate. It is nice to see them in action how the food was and how they are served and of course, to see everyone munching on them.

Oner thing I do not like? Naturally, it was cooked in front of us. the chef looks interesting with the live performance...BUT, when we went out, we ALL SMELLED LIKE FISH!

I like the food, I love the praparation. In total, I was so happy and full. That was my second day of work. It was a great start. We ate each one for a €35 serving. But that was paid NOT by us, and that is the most exciting part of the event. Domo Arigatoh!

Wow, great experience sistah, i remember when my husband's work took us out to eat in a korean resto.. they did not offer us fork or spoon, only stick.. Di nakakain ang lola mo hahaha, I never used chopstick in my whole life so I did not enjoy it... The second time we went out, I was with my pinay and korean friends so they taught me a little bit, but still can't do it lol..

But yeah, I agree with you....sarap kaya kumain pag libre hahaha!
