Ern in Tokyo: August 2015
http://tokyoern.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Life and Living in Tokyo, Japan. Saturday, August 15, 2015. Tonari no Shokudo [Kujira So] / となりの食堂「くじら荘」. Last week as I was trying to decide where to eat for lunch, I remembered this small cafe recently opened in our neighborhood. It is called Tonari no Shokudo [Kujira So]. Their specialities are hotdogs. I'm not sure if I would really call these hotdogs though. The sausages aren't in the buns, more like just topped on top of the buns. I ordered their chili dog, with a coke. Chili Dog / チリドッグ. Time for ...

Literate in L.A.

The Past Is Another Country. Imaginary Landscapes of Betel-Nut Island. Blueprints on Cambodian Silk. Elizabeth Briel, Travel Artist. Join My Mailing List. I limped through Christmas with my Mom. And a couple of torn ligaments in Pondicherry, India, taking in sights. And scents and colors juxtaposed unlike anywhere else I’ve been. And I can’t wait to go there again (soon, I hope). Why do I travel? Well, for these reasons – but also a whole lot more. The many Liberal Arts reasons go without saying.] I ...

Pa-O Girl Party! | garlic never sleeps
https://garlicneversleeps.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/pa-o-girl-party
Musings on music, travel, books, and life from Southeast Asia. July 30, 2015. Okay, all of these girls aren’t from Pa-O villages, in fact perhaps none of them hail from anywhere outside of Shan State’s Tat Ein village, but judging from the eager manner in which they donned traditional Pa-O outfits, a few of these girls certainly appreciate the black-themed Pa-O style. And just like the monks, these girls are delightful company and absolutely love to have their photo taken. Smile and say Mingalaba!

Ern in Tokyo: Nissin Ippudo Hakata Tonkotsu / 日清 一風堂 博多とんこつ
http://tokyoern.blogspot.com/2010/01/nissin-ippudo-hakata-tonkotsu.html
Life and Living in Tokyo, Japan. Thursday, January 21, 2010. Nissin Ippudo Hakata Tonkotsu / 日清 一風堂 博多とんこつ. You gotta love a country that takes its instant noodles so seriously. And with a lot of well-known ramen shops also getting in on the act, sometimes its hard to choose which one to try. Today, I decided to go with the Hakata Tonkotsu produced by Ippudo. I haven't been to the actual ramen shop but it's almost always listed in the top 10 in any ramen book guide. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
