Little Tokyo Series: Oishinbo - Where Authentic Bento Sets Lie (07.03.10)

We also have our all time favorite Tamago (200) which still brings happy tears to our eyes haha! Yes I know, I know, it's just regular egg but really, you must try it at this place since it's in between sweet and salty. Yum yum! Maybe less popular than the rest of the restaurants in the compound, this may well be attributed to the serving, which isn't as heavy as most that we have been so far. But maybe next time we'd try some other sets which they say is their best seller. After all I did enjoy the 'sampler' of how it tastes like. Special mention is the mashed potato which for me beats KFC's anytime. They don't even need gravy.

From what you can see in the blog photo you can say I am really a fan of general fiction AND books with authors you have no idea who. From my estimate I think only four of them most are familiar with. As a matter of fact this is because most of book hunting involves going to places that doesn't necessarily sell mainstream. And often, purchases are just by impulse. Here's the back story of the following books: 1. How To Live with a Neurotic Dog by Stephen Baker From Booksale, est. 20php. One of my rules in my book buys is to be keen that all book...

Even the courteous 'po' didn't help
