Pizza Hut Japan

[Link to Japanese Pizza Hut]

I saw an actual Pizza Hut just last week and I was tempted to go although when we passed by it it was because we needed to go to Hiroshima (About 4 hours away) for some government business. So we didn't have time to make a lunch trip. Although I hear that Pizza Hut here is the same as every other pizza place here. Toppings always include Mayo, seaweed or corn niblets.

What can I say. The Japanese love mayonnaise.

Perogies!

Made my own perogies a couple days back. When I mentioned this to a friend they thought I had meant I had taken a pre-frozen already made pack and fried them up. It wasn't until I said that made it from scratch that she understood. But I lied a little bit. I didn't make the pasta-like dough, I bought that part. In hindsight I think I should have made it and then I could have controlled how thick I wanted it to be, as they were a little bit thin.

I also made my own choco-Almond milk! I was surprised at how easy it was. Almonds, chocolate, water. Blend it all up, strain the almond bits out. Some people enjoyed the taste, others wanted it to be a little sweeter. Oh well, I'll know for next time!

DIY Snacks #3

Takoyaki is a very common street food in Japan. There is a piece of octopus inside grilled dough balls. It is often covered in a variety of sauces. And Mayonnaise.

There are a ton of videos like the three that I have posted, so if you would like to see more just go ahead and check out the uploader's profile here: [Link to You Tube Profile]

Although I cannot imagine any of these to taste really good. My niece has tried one or two and she was not satisfied with the results. (Also she was not as skilled when it came to recreating the intended food) Saying that it tasted similar to cat food. And anything that tastes like cat food I will do my best to stay away from.

I am amused by one of the comments:

"One day, all food in Japan will be made from powder, water, and RRcherrypie."

RRcherrypie being the Youtube user who uploads these videos.

DIY Snacks

I have seen my niece try this snack that was really popular for little kids earlier this year.

She says that it tastes terrible for anyone who is wondering.
