Finally, I back to London. I went to Jogging this morning. I really need to do exercise after all those foods I ate from the trip. Also I missed my jogging rote where I could feel season. Beautiful autumn scenery along side of Regent canal and Victoria park.

Japanese Pancake


This time, I stayed in Tokyo less than 24 hours. I could stay in Naria but always nice to see friends even if it is very short time. We head to Okonomiyaki Place because I wanted to enjoy end of summer. Somehow Okonomiyaki is quite summerly food for me, maybe because we always have Okonomiyaki stand in summer festival or I used to often go to Tukishima in summer time?


Restaurant; Fuwatoro in Ebisu. They do Kobe style Okonomiyaki. Well, It is more like Akashiyaki, that why they actually don't call this Okonomiyaki. They call it Fuwatoroyaki. It is much lighter and very soft than normal okonomiyaki. Mmmmmmm I love it.

Lamb chop


S was keep telling me Lamb chop from Vincente foods is something I need to try before I leave here. Actually, I rarely order lamb., maybe because it's quite strong and heavy.


This is Lamb chop for tonight.


Today's chef was N under instruction by Y. She is very amazing chef and also very good teacher. There was some tip I never knew to do for steak. This magical tip makes so much difference.


Here we go, Lamb chop with rosemary. So tender and tasty... Best lamb chop I ever had.


This is another amazing dish for tonight. This buffalo mozzarella melt in your mouth.
