Fish... what kinda fish?

it's a fish cake actually...it's a processed food, if you will:


HANPEN (fluffy steamed fish cake)

Han'pen is made from salted fish paste with a large amount of egg white. Egg white makes han'pen light and spongy in texture. It is in ready-to-eat form

Ohhhhhhh... never had anything of the like. Egg whites have no taste so I guess it's mainly the salty fish taste. Hmmm... could be interesting.

Or $6 an ounce, although it is awfully tempting to buy some just once to see what's it like

They must bring in the beef with a refrigerated Brink's truck and armed guards. :sweat:

you're absolutely right...but so does the USA and our shiet ain't NEARLY as good as the indigenous Japanese beef...trust me, i can speak on this based on personal experience.

I believe you..... I guess they have to have cheaper beef for the average person ;)

Although premium Aussie beef is pretty damn good too ;) it's just not Kobe beef ;)

red bean bread, ramen, and sukiyaki!!!!! yummy!
