Saturday, February 25, 2012. Last Meal Tokyo : Tonkatsu Tonki. Hello from Hong Kong! It's been a busy few days but we're all settled in our temporary apartment in the Hong Kong Mid-Levels. I'm taking a quick Dim Sum break to share my final Tokyo meal, dinner at Tonkatsu Tonki in Meguro. Tonkatsu Tonki has been a Meguro institution for generations. It is still family owned and operated, with most of the family still working in the kitchen, frying up katsu. Looking at these photos make me miss Tokyo a lot&...

five foot eater: September 2011
http://fivefooteater.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Today was the first time I've woken up needing a blanket. I am loving the cool breeze, though it makes me feel guilty knowing that it's because a typhoon is rolling through Japan, threatening to displace millions of people in Nagoya. Sigh. Mother nature, why won't you just leave Japan alone! On a lighter note, here are some pictures from the end of summer. Chillin' by the pool. Vietnamese dancers performing at the Harajuku Yosakoi Festival. Links to this post. Earlier in the ...

five foot eater: August 2011

Wednesday, August 17, 2011. Snickerdoodles : Apparently Just an American Thing. I've been baking a lot for my office lately. For one thing, I think my coworkers deserve better treats than Restaurant Cravers Pringles and bread stick crackers on the snack counter. But it also gives me a great outlet to bake like crazy but not get diabetes by eating up a whole batch of cookies before they go bad. And "Why's it called that? Here's the recipe I emailed to an inquiring coworker:. 114g room temperature butter.

five foot eater: Hong Kong, I'm Here
http://fivefooteater.blogspot.com/2012/03/hong-kong-im-here.html
Thursday, March 1, 2012. Hong Kong, I'm Here. I have to be honest. I kind of hate the blogger platform. I was just tooling around with Tumblr and was oh so tempted to jump ship, but then I realized that I've had this blog for FOUR YEARs. That's an amazing feat for someone like me. I've kept this up from New York, San Francisco and Tokyo, why stop now, right? March 7, 2012 at 10:07 AM. Enjoy every second and keep us all posted! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

five foot eater: Raw Horse Meat :: Nay or Neigh?
http://fivefooteater.blogspot.com/2012/02/raw-horse-meat-yay-or-neigh.html
Monday, February 13, 2012. Raw Horse Meat : Nay or Neigh? I had a work party on Friday night. Our first course was raw horse meat ( basashi). Everyone's reaction was about the same:. Ohhh, yum. Sashimi.hmm.or beef? Do we cook it? Oh wow. Do we cook it? You just eat it raw? Since I'm leaving Japan soon and I've never had it, I had a few pieces. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. People complain that it is chewy but what do you expect? I much prefer basashi. ABC Cooking School dropout friend.

five foot eater: Mr Vietnamese Banh Mi in Fortress Hill
http://fivefooteater.blogspot.com/2012/03/mr-vietnamese-banh-mi-in-fortress-hill.html
Sunday, March 4, 2012. Mr Vietnamese Banh Mi in Fortress Hill. I started apartment hunting this week. I've been looking forward to home search all month, but now that I'm finally doing it, I'd like it to be over. Having just moved from a serviced apartment in Roppongi Hills, it's safe to say that I need to adjust my expectations in Hong Kong and accept the fact that our bathtubs will not be automated by friendly robots and our washer/dryer will be in the kitchen.

five foot eater: November 2011

Friday, November 18, 2011. Winter Hot Pot in the Fall : My First Nabe. I love Autumn. I like the drop in temperature. I like taking out my jackets and scarves from the back of the closet. And I like eating soups and stews. Food blogs go soup crazy around this time of year and it makes my belly warm just sifting through all the recipes. There is one dish I have always wanted to try in Japan. More of a stew than a soup, nabe. When they want to gain weight. I was feeling sick and nabe. Make a simple dashi.
