Traveling with Huen's Family means Nonstop Eating

All tourists in Tokyo's must have. We took pictures before leaving for Nikko. Sandy is such Huen's family's girl. Keen for foods/cooking, can-eat-alot and strong... stomached.

We set out to Nikko because the weather on Sunday is going to be bad. Food is aways important, and my uncle vowed to spend all Japanese yen he has brought with him. So I took them to the stand-up soba parlour (the place where cute young girls refuse to eat). Each of us devoured a bucket of soba with delicious cold flake fish dressing. We drank it up with the soup from cooking soba, yummy. (Oh, also 2 bows of rice with grilled pork bellies).

We went to Asakusa, getting reading to board the train. However, we visited the department store and bought the most expensive Unagi bento box and a couple additional unagi and grilled salmon jaws to eat in the train.

Thank god that we were not distracted by food when visiting temples and hiking (because there is no food around). However, after 2 hours of walking around, Sandy claimed that she is hungry. (The way she puts it is "um... I can eat something"). We strolled along on the Nikko street, sat down to take a break to eat the grilled rice cake with delicious black sugar coating and green tea, still feeling not satisfied. But it is too early to go back to Tokyo, we ate another couple of onsen menshu made of Chestnut paste in front of the train station, and came to the conclusion that we should eat the famous Yoba tofu cookings in Nikko.

The restaurant I remember doesn't open for dinner so we turned into a little Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki restaurant. We had tepanyaki and a pancake. Sandy and I down 2 bottles of hot sake to get warm (it was really cold in the mountain and we were not well prepared).

After 2 hours of train ride, we were finally back to Tokyo but then Uncle Thomas claimed that he is hungry and demanded me to come up with a choice of snack. Running out of idea of restaurant still opening at 10pm, we went to Tsukiji for the 24 hour sushi shops. We sat down and had a huge sashimi platter, sushi, fishhead stew. We walked out the door and Uncle Thomas cannot believe how cheap the meal is for such a good quality food (compare to Hong Kong), he almost wanted to turn back in again to have another plate of Otoro sashimi. Too tired I was, I stopped him and promised we'll come again tomorrow.
