Oops, salty! A light and short exclamation had interjected from my son’s girlfriend when she took a bite of chicken. My son and his girlfriend and I were at a chicken house called ‘Kanbu Chicken’. It was our first visit. It seemed to me that it was absurdly salty and spiced. However, in the eyes, […]
Sister Wah in Tin Hau Hong Kong
It was the most disturbing tasted noodles of all the ones that I had in Hong Kong. Albeit no charm, the noodles – rice – were OK. It was the broth that mattered a lot to me. The MSG feel, dense and offensive, bothered me to keep on sipping. Dumplings, meat and fish balls were […]
Tim Ho Wan, dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong
As far as I know Tim Ho Wan is the most well-known dim sum franchise restaurant in Hong Kong. The branch expands not only to Mainland and Island of Hong Kong but also to Singapore and the States. We, a company of three, visited the original restaurant, which recently moved to Olympian City near Mong […]
Damn carrot!
I bought carrots at a nearby supermarket. After washing and peeling off a carrot, I bit a bit of it, and a sharp and disgusting odour offended the mouth. It smelled dirty swamp of rubbish. I had no idea how it is possible to have such a nauseatingly bad smell. I was afraid that they […]
Daredevil’s cheese and ham bar, Cheeseflo in Itaewon
A friend and I visited a restaurant where ham and cheese are made and sell and could taste them. The name’s ‘Cheeseflo’. We ordered tasting plates and tried them with Crément de Bourgogne. Cheeses do not have original and unique characters. Hams gave me startling fear of eating them. Sliced ham gave me a sense […]
Mao Family Restaurant, 毛家饭店 (Mao Jia Fan Dian)
Named Mao’s family restaurant, huge-sized another famous restaurant in Changsha. Dishes looked sympathetic and tasted not bad, but I felt unpleasant due to a chemical sense in food and unclean table and surroundings.
Bibigo bibimbap, reasonable price and unreasonable taste
I had a bibimbap at Bibigo in Seoul Center. I paid 8,900 won for it. Bibimbap for 8,900 won could mean a bit expensive in general, but I think the price is rather reasonable. However, the taste matters. It was overly sweet. It tasted a dessert. I know Koreans are in love with the sweetness […]
Sake with street food from Shinsegae
Here are some street foods but they are not from the street. Bought at Myeongdong Shinsegae department store. Looked fancy and appetising at the corner, we bought quite a quantity, even right after having had dinner. We had them at a friend’s. The taste betrayed the look. All the foods were awful. They felt like […]
Korean Ramen’s magical odour
It’s magical because it’s almost impossible and hardly credible. It’s about instant Ramen soup. Since the Korean ramen is excessively salty and spicy, I usually do not use Ramen soup in cooking it. One day, I put one tenth of Ramen soup powder in cooking Ramen. The result was not bad. It tasted good and […]
