It's hard to be lightweight, when your fried drink contains more calories than what you should ingest in a day. :bleh:

Crappy picture of my good lunch

Cold Seiro Soba with Seafood Kakiage Tempura

[image]

I stumbled on this by accident, a menu of a Japanese restaurant called Yuki-san somewhere in the UK...check out these prices!!!

Remember the current exchange rate is roughly 1 British Pound equals 2 American Dollars.

That means an order of Edamame costs 9 dollars here :shocked:
Here in L.A. most Japanese restaurants will give you Edamame for FREE. The grilled unagi (Kabayaki) is 30 Dollars!!!!!!!! I gurantee you that is more expensive that in Japan. :shakehead:

What a ripoff. They say London is the most expansive place in the world to eat, but that's way too much.

4.5 pounds for a clear soup. That's just water, dashi stock, water, wakame, water, MSG, water and some more water. I could cook some for 50 people and wouldn't spend more than 10$. :shakehead:

Yea, that's hella crazy expensive. :sweat:

I can't see Toshi-kun's lunch with the school server. :pout: For dinner I had Thai (Pad thai with tofu, shrimp, and chicken). It was yum-num, but I couldn't finish it. >>burp<<

I agree with you my man, that is astoundingly expensive!!! 30 dollars for unagi-ju (aka kabayaki)....I bet you eat the most delicious high end unagi in Ginza, Tokyo and it might get close to 30 dollars US.....

Looks nice :)

very clean and tasty...the kakiage was made with fish, shrimp, and scallops...went well with the tsuyu (dipping sauce)

the place is pretty authentic...at the end of the meal they bring you a small kettle with hot water with flour...it's the water they used to boil the noodles...you traditionally pour this water into your left over tsuyu and then drink the concoction as a soup. 10 dollars US :victory:

First time I've heard that. I might try it. :D

Had thai too. Chicken red curry with bamboo shoots, pepper, onion and fresh thai basil over rice. Not bad.

Yup. It's not like Ginza is the cheapest place on Earth... I have to admit tho, in London they spice up your sushi with polonium 210. That can't be cheap. :hehe:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

my friend who lives in London said a single piece of Hamachi costs 8 dollars US.

:shakehead:

Ouch. I hope he's earning twice as much as he used to.

I never knew that until I went to Japan and ate soba there at this place in Roppongi Hills walking distance from our hotel...the noodles were out of this world....much better than what I had today. Here's some pix from that place.
