I'll look for sites which have articles about Japanese culture. Dun remember where I put the links. May take some time.

Has anyone ever tried a Japanese breakfast? Especially a raw egg mixed into rice, ugh! It looked awful, tasted "different".
Had twice while I was in Tokyo. Dunno why I had twice.
Gotta love miso soup and pickles too hehe

You referin the smell to "natto" beans? Eaten breakfast? Yes, they smell awful. Can't remember the taste. At least I remember I had hard time swallowin the rice.

At Liang Court supermarket, they actually got a quite authentic Japanese restaurant. I notice a lot of Japanese went to there.

In the supermarket, they sell authentic japanese ice-cream too eg green tea with red bean or sweet potato with <- i forget what fillings it is. Cost only $2.80 a cone. Oishii.... Drooling
