I had Sanuki udon for lunch. The udon was not just noodles, but with Chinese shrimp dumplings, plus Argentinean red shrimps, expecting stronger shrimp flavour. The food was quite right, except for low-quality Chinese dumplings.
Home-cooked street food
My son made odeng-tang(fishcake soup). When eaten on the street in cold weather, it warms body and soul; however, at home, it tasted better because the quality of all the ingredients is excellent. With a bit of sliced rice cake, it has got more pleasure. However, it’s a shame that there’s no photo with sliced […]

Eventually, eight friends joined the evening. The courses: Assorted raw Amberjack slices Salad with basil pesto Lightly grilled monkfish liver sauced with red-current-and-wine jam Grilled monkfish with […]

Today I happen to have a hazardous rendezvous at the restaurant. When a couple of friends were having […]
Ramen in my way
I had Japanese instant ramen for lunch, but without soup powder. Instead, I put several drops of soybean sauce, and scallion, shiitake, beef, egg to make it tastier. When done, it seemed for me less instant and junky. It tasted not bad.
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 […]
Body-warming soup, oden
It gets colder and colder and oden(odeng) soup became a most frequent meal for the moment.
