Nice, is that sesame ice cream? Wanted to try that for awhile.

As always Ray, you win this thread. I had my own little eating outing today, though nowhere near as glamourous

Breakfast at Tim Horton's. Double sausage, egg and cheese muffin, hash brown and gingerbread hot chocolate. So good

Light brunch at Patisserie Valerie. Poached eggs and toast.

Lunch at GBK. Got their special Christmas burger, choice of beef, chicken or venison (I went with venison), hash brown, smoked Applewood cheese, cabbage and bacon, tarragon mayo, devil on horseback and gravy. Got it with chill fried chicken bites and a brandy eggnog milkshake

Goes without saying I wont be needing any dinner tonight.

I would be severely disappointed if I'd ordered poached eggs and toast and got those. They're clearly not poached at all. Very bad form

Raymond wins. I want ramen again now

They tasted poached to me. If their not poached.... what are they?

Raymond does indeed win

Looks like they used one of poached egg pans. That place isn't cheap so I think that's a bit poor form to not do proper ones.

Craig1981 · 16 Nov 2017 at 17:02

I will admit I've had better poached eggs. Probably would have been better off with scrambled eggs on toast instead. Oh well. Not the end of the world. They might look rubbish, but they tasted fine.

Not sure if very small cup of coffee or a stupidly large burger. That looks massive.

Also 'Ho Ho Salt' when it's mid november

MikeTheNative · 17 Nov 2017 at 09:02

It's a small cup of gravy.

Craig1981 · 17 Nov 2017 at 11:35

Yeah its gravy

How did you find that the burger Craig? I saw they'd started it a couple of days ago on the app and it sounds quite nice!

Craig1981 · 17 Nov 2017 at 13:20

I liked it. I like you can get it with beef, chicken or venison. Would definitely recommend trying it.

More Japanese food!

All that Sushi, including Otoro, for about £15 !

You just need to get the lighting and focus right in the pic before soft smearing the background in imgur.

More from the first couple of days.

Started off with my first meal after I landed.

Followed on by some Tampura.

Breakfast next day was chicken skewers from Lawsons (convenient store)

Then I went to Myjojima to eat oysters (famous for it).

More Matcha desserts

Dinner was Hiroshima style Okonomyyaki.

Breakfast next day was hotel breakfast, Japanese style.

Lunch was Kobe beef, in Kobe, tapanyaki style. I didn't plan for this but when as the bullet train was pulling up....I looked at my watch and it was only 1:30pm....I thought, what the hell.

Dinner was Okonomyaki, Osaka style. Was interesting ordering this with no photos, no English menu, and the guy spoke little to zero English vs my little to no Japanese.

Then I went to get some Takoyaki in Dontonburi

Next day breakfast i ruined it all with McDonald's....they put chicken fillet in a muffin...thought i try it. Japanese make great food but this is still crap, hash brown is lovely though.

Yup, it's lovely...I see in the west they've made Charcoal ice-cream...it's all over social medial like Instagram which begs the question apart from being....just because, why??? Get some sesame ice cream instead, actually has a taste to it and nice.

I am going to try to make it when i get back.

I don't even know what half that stuff is Raymond, yet it looks absolutely fantastic!

That's Japanese food for you. Its full of weird and wonderful delights.

jpaul · 18 Nov 2017 at 12:36

nice food & pictures, even the McDonalds looks better the way you shoot it (maybe their food is genuinely different)
I think you said before, don't bring a knife to a gun fight - so it is not an iphone, do you shoot with something inconspicuous though ?
