missing Japan...

Went to Isetan with the intention of getting some sushi. But somehow, can't be convinced to buy any. So walked abit and came across this person cooking okonomiyaki in the supermart... It smells pretty good, and it's made on the spot, so why not. That was how it ended up as dinner. One packet is SGD$5.80, which translates to about 390 yen. Still ok I think...

The okonomiyaki has lots of cabbage, minimum flour and lots of octopus! Too bad, I didn't get to eat it hot from the stove, because by the time I reached home, it was an hour later... But still yummy!

look at the tako.. yums!


The lady manning the stall (she's a Japanese and can speak a little English) was also quite cute. At some point in the queue, she ran out of coins to return to the customer so she either charged $5 or for those customers who didn't mind, paid her $6. She looked quite flustered. Haha! So when I gave her exactly $5.80, she looked so relieved.. hahahah! :P


The price of canned beer is only slightly higher than those found in Tokyo's am/pm shops or 7-eleven. There, you can buy it for about 200+ yen. Here it costs about SGD$3.50. So probably around 40-50 cents extra per can.
