Saya Tourist Sejati Kota Tokyo pt.5

*throwback post*

Hi.

Ok meh nak sambung entri semalam. Kita cerita pasal makanan lagi sekali. Ok now. This time I'll take you back to during my 2012 Tokyo trip. Time ni, dia punya melantak memang tak hingat dunia. Kerja ingat nak makaaaaan je. Hahaha! 

Dah la Jepun tu sejuk. Dapat pulak pergi dengan geng yang kaki makan japanese food gak. Memang best la duk keluar je cari kedai makan. Hahahaha! Tak guna betul. ;p

Anyway, enjoice!

Ini makanan restaurant pertama kami. Ebi curry rice. Dekat Coco Ichiban-ya, Shibuya branch. This is by far the best curry rice shop in Tokyo. So far dah masuk 4 kedai curry dekat Tokyo. But my favorite memang tetap Coco Ichiban-ya.

Why? Sebab here, you can design your own curry rice. Boleh choose nak curry kosong, or beef curry, or pork curry and they even ada mushroom curry. Nasi pun boleh choose portion banyak mana gak. Lepas tu topping pun boleh add on tambah2 gittew. Yang paling best sekali is that you can choose tahap kepedasan curry tersebut. Gempak kan? Macam saya yang memang anak jati Negeri Sembilan ni haruslah choose level 5 ke atas je kan. Baru puas hati makan sambil berpeluh. Muahahaha!

That year, I went to eat at Coco Ichiban-ya 2 times. Sebab I just couldn't get enough of their curry. Sedap ok. Lagi2 sebab duk teringat kat ebi goreng tu. Bapak layan dowh! 

Ini portion orang tamak nama dia. I chose mushroom curry rice and added chicken cutlet with ebi goreng lagi. This cost around 1000¥ but trust me, it's worth every penny.

And the we went to Roppongi Hills. Kat sini pun ada satu kedai curry but I don't remember the name. Curry kat sini ok je. Tak selayan yang dekat Coco Ichiban-ya.

I don't remember what we ate tho. Tapi rasanya both pun chicken kot. And yang ade telur separuh masak tu haruslah saya punya. Berangan nak makan macam Kaibutsu-kun. Haha! You dunno what Kaibutsu-kun? You go google!

And then there's Tendon. Our second best meal dekat Japan. Tendon paling layan sekali dekat Tokyo is that one in Ginza. I don't know how to show you the direction to go there but the restaurant dekat dengan kedai Manneiken Belgian Waffles.

These are the best Tendon dekat Tokyo. Serious. And I thank god masa this time, I don't have that fear of how to tell them which one to eat in Nihonggo? LOL! I just go for it and cakap dalam my broken Nihonggo. Redah je. Aku dah lapoorrr!

Price range kat kedai ni are from 800¥ to 2000¥. Harga kat atas tu around 1000¥ gak. But again, it's worth it. :)

And this one was during our trip to Asakusa. This was after our rickshaw ride. Saya tanya abang beca tu kat mana nak makan okonomiyaki sedap. He showed us this restaurant. Memang recommended sangat. Sebab boleh masak okonomiyaki sendiri. 

Price range for two person less than 2000¥ je. Satu bowl for basic ingredients is around 300¥. Lepas tu you can add on any other ingredients ikut suka hati. Jangan lupa ask for English menu. Lately ni memang any restaurant in Japan provide English menu.

Oh by the way nama restaurant ni Hyoutan. Kedai ni signage dia in hiragana so it looks like this 
ひょうたん。Do ask around tho' kalau tak jumpa. Sebab lorong2 and jalan2 dekat Asakusa around Sensoji Temple tu memang tricky sikit. Nampak samaaaaa je semua.

And then seperti biasa kalau melawat Harajuku, mesti akan singgah Gindaco makan Takoyaki. And that year, masa jalan2 dekat Takeshitadori, ternampak Tamagotchi Doughnut stall. Apa lagi, beli la! And that was the best caramel doughnut I had ever tasted. Yumm! 

  
Menyesal tak beli banyak2! 

Selain kedai Tendon dekat Ginza tu, ada jugak lagi satu kedai Tendon yang ok la. Sedap la nak mentedaghah kalau jauh sangat nak gi Ginza semata nak makan Tendon pakcik ol skool tu. Nama this restaurant Ten-ya. Dia macam Coco Ichiban-ya gak ah. Outlet dia can be found almost anywhere in Tokyo.

 And I honestly dunno how Japanese actually eats. But this is the set that I ordered hari tu. Tendon with soba kosong. Yeah. Ada dua meal. Pelik kan? My nasi pun tak habis time tu. Tq. ;p

Ini pulak my Japanese friend belanja makan lunch. This was in Tokyo district. Masa ni sebelum nak pergi Sunshine 60 dekat Ikebukuro. Jumpa Ayako san sekejap nak bagi omiyage. Yes. Itu burger. Do you know that most meat meal in Japan ada mix with pork? And do you know that you can ask for the one without pork?

Now you know. :)

This both was from that time we went to Palette Town dekat Odaiba. Atas tu seafood okonomiyaki and yang bawah tu yakisoba. Both was cook by their tukang masak berbangsa bangladesh. Yup. And he can speak Japanese fluently. Babi betul aku jeles ni!

Kemudian hari berikutnya kami pergi ke Chiba pula. Melawat rumah mak mertua kami. Ecewah! Hahahaha! Pergi restaurant Keikarou sebenarnya. Restaurant si Masaki Aiba punya family. Lalu kami order set ini. This was the only set yang saya berani nak makan. Sebab it's seafood.

Lepas tu cuma tambah とりのからげje. Sebab kan favorite si Masaki tu. So saja la nak rasa gak apekebenda nya yang sedap sangat sampai dia suka gila tu. And yes..memang sedap! Haha

 

Nama set ni beautiful sets. Technically cuma toofu, and seafood sweet and sour je. Price kalau tak silap around 1300¥. Okla. Kenyang satu hari. Malam kalau lapar, beli je kat conbini. Save sikit. ;p

And then kitorang visit Tokyo eki lagi sekali sebab nak naik HopOn Bus. Pusing2 ronda2 kota Tokyo atas bus. Sebelum memulakan operasi berjalan tu, haruslah mentedaghah dulu kan? So kitorang lunch dulu dekat San Marco. Kedai curry rice lagi sekali. Eh? Kenapa lunch? Sebab dekat Jepun memang kitorang tak reti nak bangun awal pun! Hahaha!

Seafood Curry. Bapak sedap. And FYI, this was the first time in my entire life I tried habanero chili sauce. Pedas. Pedas ok. Memang pedas. Tapi untuk saya, still puas hati la pedas dia tu. But still, pedas. Sampai nak kena refill air entah berapa kali. Sampai abang waiter tu duk senyum2 je tengok saya. Wahahahaahah!

So sekarang kalau saya tengok bangumi Arashi lagi and diorang telan habanero chili lalu terlompat lompat macam beruk sebab pedas, saya akan percaya. Saya takkan roll eyes lagi lepas ni. Saya dah tau dah pedas dia macam mana. 

Sekian sahaja gambar2 makanan pada tahun 2012 saya. Nanti sambung next post untuk 2013 pulak. Ekekekekekeke. 

Oh! Lagi satu info. Dekat anywhere in Japan, you don't need to order drinks when dining kat restaurant pun tau. Plain water and green tea are always free. Unless if tekak tu mengada sangat nak minum fancy2 drinks, then go ahead and order.

Ok. Sudah2 la tu menaip.

Kbye!
