Rice w/Pork Chops tonight along with a little salad.

My brother will be eating Mash Potato w/pork chops. He'll be putting lettuce on top of the mash potato and then pour some gravy on it.

i saw various types of Mackrel sushi rolls, pickles, squid, Croquette with fish, Garu(.....bitter melon:headscratch:), Okinawan dango, and other stuff.


Bittermelon is definitely an acquired taste. I LOVE IT!~ I usually eat it in a broth (like soup) over rice to take down the intensity of the flavor. It's pretty good... my mother takes out the white parts inside (which makes it VERY bitter) and stuffs it with this pork (or beef) and glass noodle mixture. Very delicious!~ However... I am the only child who can eat it... unlike my three other siblings. Lol... you should try it sometime!~

Japanese look to export octopus dumplings

By HIROKO TABUCHI, Associated Press Writer
Sun Jun 25, 3:49 PM ET

TOKYO - If Morio Sase has his way, hungry teenagers around the world will soon be snacking on something more exotic than McDonald's hamburgers: takoyaki, or octopus dumplings.

With more than 350 takeout stores in Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan already, Sase's Gindaco chain is one of a barrage of fast-food companies bringing lowbrow Japanese chow to overseas markets. Its first U.S. store is scheduled to open in Los Angeles in 2007, and it hopes to open 20 stores in California by 2010.

"When I was a small boy, it was street food that made me feel good and warm inside," Sase said at a recent interview at the Tokyo headquarters of HotLand Corp., which runs Gindaco.

Hand-grilled in iron molds by cooks behind a large display window, the octopus dumplings are made from wheat flour paste mixed with fish stock, spring onions and boiled octopus chunks, and drizzled with a sweet sauce, dried bonito flakes and seaweed.

"Foods like takoyaki are closer to Japanese hearts than sushi or sashimi," Sase said. "They're delicious, healthy and warm — the perfect snack."

Takoyaki is the shiznit.
Too bad that pretty much all you can find in Hawaii is just 'tako-ball' and not the real-deal Takoyaki like they have it in Osaka.. Sad

I'll have to wait a few hundred years before there's a takoyaki shop around here. Sad

hahah i live right by there and i pass it everytime i go surfing....almost afraid, but very curious to try it. there's also another one in westminster (CA) called pholicious. lol


Members of D-addicts posted this in the Viet Community Thread and I thought it was interesting.

I would definately no eat at "What the Pho" or "Pholicious" Shake Head
I wouldn't trust the place.

It's probably not all that Pholicious and I would be saying What the hell kinda Pho is this
