Some nibbles that didn't receive the full post treatment.
Meet yudofu. Yudofu is still boiling, fresh tofu. It (he? she?) was really quite tasty, milky and warm. Both K and I were spooning up the last scraps from this paper bowl.
An unlikely site at a train station, this Cafe Du Monde, with the slogan of coffee and beignets, had no beignets. No good. But the substitute pastries weren't all bad.
What's that, you ask? A skewer? Yes, but not just any skewer. A 2980 yen skewer of Kobe beef. Two pieces of meat, perfect for sharing. And worth every yen.

Quick, it's late at night in Okayama, you don't know the town, the hotel check-in person refuses to tell you of an open food establishment. Well, just head out to the rainy streets, wander into some random restaurant-looking place, and have some yakitori (chicken skewers)! These had all the main parts and also, I believe, chicken hearts (second from left).
A contender to vie against Mochi Cream? These stuffed waffles looked absolutely glorious in the display case. Fear not, Mochi Cream lovers, they were not up to snuff, your title still reigns.
Always a sucker for some more RF1, this bento lured me in from the moment I laid eyes on it. And it was delicious. The squid, yum! The eggy, roe-y noodles, yes! The unnamed vegetables in the upper left, why not! They should go into the travel food business and sell their stuff on airplanes in the states.

Where were the beignets? That skewer of kobe beef looks so good.
ReplyDeleteSo that skewer of beef with two pieces cost about $30?? Ouch! BTW, send more info on prices to the economist!
ReplyDeleteSadly, they don't even sell beignets. I cannot understand what Cafe du Monde was thinking franchising and not selling beignets.
ReplyDeletePrices were...pricey. Simple bowl of noodles was between 400 and 800 yen. Most meals ended up being about 2000 yen or so. The RF1 bento above was 1250 yen. Housing is pricey - didn't stay at one place cheaper than $40 US, including the capsule!
