家附近有一间非常受好评的法国餐厅，非常小间，如果是要吃周末的午餐，最好预订位置。
因为午餐比较经济嘛。餐厅专门选用当地的食材，并以法式烹调手法料理。
我不是美食家，不晓得到底是否到水准，但和好朋友一起在舒适的环境中享用注重装盘的法国餐，
是件快乐的事。。。 而且还真的蛮好吃的。呵呵。

We went to this ramen shop recommended by our teacher. She said that it was featured on TV and is very popular. It is just a few minutes away from school via bike.
The soup is really good. So is the fried rice
very aromatic
this is the original taste.
I love my friend’s cooking.
If you watch her cook, she makes you feel that cooking is really simple. (and yes, if she is here right now, she would still insist that it is very simple, and brush everything aside)
I like to watch her cook. Fast, mean and full of energy. Yet, she is very relaxed. So zen.
Of course, the best thing is to finish up everything until you feel like bursting. hahaha.
I found this in a nearby supermarket… I can’t resist buying it, although I have no idea how I should go about cooking it. The shell is the size of my palm spread out.
Steamed it and made a simple sauce for it. Surprisingly good!
Well, I never saw this being sold in the supermarket again …
In Japan, omiyage, or souvenirs, is big business, every tourist spot you go to, no matter how remote, I bet there is at least a stall or small shop selling the EXCLUSIVE souvenir in that region. The most common souvenir? Food.
Excessive packaging aside, I must admit that most souvenirs that I have received from friends are simply delicious! It is customary for Japanese to purchase omiyage after going on a work or personal trip, but not compulsory. For me, it is certainly a pleasure to receive the omiyage from friends. At the end of the day, it is the thought that counts. 
Below are some omiyage from friends.
From Tokyo (thanks to E san), I present you the goma tamago, meaning sesame egg. delicious!
Individually wrapped
looks like a real egg
Even looks like it really has a shelf! full of sesame goodness!
Ok, this has to be the most aromatic, addictive, and DELICIOUS peanuts snack I have even had.
From Taiwan (Thanks to L san), we can’t stop eating them! finished them within 24 hours. one box.
Very crunchy, yet light with 麦芽糖 coating. Heavenly…
Handmade cookie by my beloved and beautiful teacher! Taste as good as it looks.
We can’t help but reach for more.
We had all-you-can-eat-pizza, and I must say that it is probably one of the best I have ever tasted.
Rich in taste and aroma.
We paid around 1500 yen (for ladies, exclude drinks) each.
We ate so much (about 10 of us) that we didn’t eat much the next morning…
Our beloved form teacher lost a game in table tennis to our classmate, and agreed to make this for our class.
We were quite skeptical as she seldom cooks, and this is her first time making tako yaki.
But surprise, surprise! They were delicious! It must be love for her beloved class… hahaha!
Valentine’s day chocolate from our form teacher.
I declare this the most delicious chocolate cake in the world, because my 11-year-old student made this.
He is a playful but kind boy. I was most surprised when he presented this to me.
Salmon roe with fried prawns and avocado
omelette by the other half
Getting fond of simple meals that are cooked well. Or maybe, I am getting fond of simplicity.
这是一家专做Okonomiyaki的餐厅，非常喜欢餐厅的设计，也很喜欢她的味道。
色拉
招牌菜，主要的材料是面粉、鸡蛋、肉、菜心等。
这里是one-man show，老板自己煮，自己端菜。我也喜欢他用的餐具。
曾经带意大利朋友来这里吃饭，他说好吃，但不地道，哈哈哈。
我觉得还蛮合胃口的，前菜是自助餐式的色拉柜台（Salad bar），饮料也是任你拿，有茶、咖啡、果汁等。
至于主菜，我们都点了意大利面，大约要1590日币。
我们吃到一半，餐厅的甜点自助餐则开罗，很多人等着吃！我们当然已经吃不下了。。。
美味前菜
请问你要起司吗？够了清喊停。。。
Smoked salmon, spaghetti with basil sauce
朋友的bacon with cream sauce
朋友的。。。？有虾。。。
