… from eating unhealthy food literally every day. Darn, I so love meat, oily and junk food!

I’m not a real fan of ramen therefore I can’t even remember when the last time I ate ramen was so I guess this is an indication in itself that it is time. This ramen shop is kinda new-ish (maybe from 4 months ago?) and is located right outside the exit of the station near my home. Whenever I walked past, regardless of time, there is always a queue even though there is another ramen shop right across the road. Due to it’s popularity, I decided to give it a try tonight.

Thinking I was big and what-have-you, I ordered miso soup base ramen with extra char-sui and negi (leek) toppings as well as gyoza (dumplings). What a bad mistake! The ramen itself was already big and the extra toppings made it a monster! The taste, needless to say, is good hence this places popularity. And, I didn’t finish it - managed to throw down 2/3 of the ramen and 3 out of 6 gyozas. What a waste! As with all ramen, you always feel bloated and heavy afterwards (and sometimes a little sickly feeling too)…

After my disappointment with last month’s all-U-can-eat yakiniku, I’ve been dying to eat yakiniku again so I decided to go yesterday.

I headed off to a yakiniku restaurant in Takadanobaba which opens until 5am daily. The restaurant isn’t exactly expensive but the taste was sooooooo much better! Best of all, I had lots of vouchers which entitles me to 50% off most of the dishes. But the silly thing is (I didn’t know), you can only use 2 vouchers per visit! In short, I got discount for only 2 types of meat… doh!

And that’s a fact! I was in the local supermarket shopping for dinner tonight when I came cross this large new banner for Fran featuring Ebihara Yuri and Aizawa Sayo, each holding a pack of FranExtra. These 2 chicks alone, made me walk out with both packs! I’m such a looser

But anyway, Ebihara or Aizawa? Hmmmmm…., I’m not so into the “cutie/kawaii” type so Ebihara is out for me. I’m more into the “sexy/sophisticated” type therefore Aizawa fits the bill perfectly. Heck, what am I saying?! Both are damn fine!

Darn! It’s a fact! All-you-can-eat Yakiniku (Korean grill) is the worst. Not in terms of feeling sick after a binge rampage, but in terms of the food quality. Sure, most (if not all) all-you-can-eats-of-anything are usually not so good but Yakiniku is the absolute worst! Usually the meat for Yakiniku is well marinated and has great flavour but in the case for all-you-can-eat, either they cut down on the amount of seasoning, or they cut down the amount of time needed to marinate, or whatever. It tastes so bland (hey, don’t you dare say anything about British food!)!!

This is probably the third time I had all-you-can-eat Yakiniku (at different places) and the quality is the same! For today’s meal price, I could have gone elsewhere and ordered better meat off the a la carte menu… sigh. No more all-you-can-eat Yakiniku for me. Enough said…

… and before I knew it, the sky turned dark! So I went and ate in a local family restaurant instead. Doh!
