Since I am digicamera-less at the moment, I thought I would go through some old photos to find something I wanted to post. It was then I realized that I take a lot of FOOD photos. One thing I can say that my parents taught me was to savour and appreciate all types of food. Since I have been in Japan, I have been super lucky with my job as I have been able to do a bit of travel. Some of these photos are from those trips and others are from personal trips BUT they are all of food. Bon Appetit!
This peking duck from the famous Qianmen Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant in Beijing did not disappoint - it was literally mouth-watering
good ol' fish n chips eaten at restaurant in Brighton, England - near the pier a couple of weeks before it burnt down!!
my mouth is watering just looking at this pic - delicious blueberry pancakes in a San Francisco diner
there's nothing like a home-cooked Japanese meal. My host mum cooked this delicous sukiyaki on a trip back to Aomori last year. I love this photo coz the tv remote control is in the pic. Anyone who has lived with a Japanese family knows that dinner is nearly always eaten with the tv on!
After visiting Bangkok last year, my new favourite fruit is officially the mangosteen - pictured top left
Seoul was all about the Korean BBQ!
India was all about spice - so delicious BUT hard on the tummy
i hear a lot about the mangosteen and how it's everyone's favorite fruit. there was actually a really great article in the new york times a few months back about mangosteens and the author's lust for them. we can't get them here in the states because of the mediterranean fruit fly that usually comes with them. i managed to get a few slightly spoiled mangosteens while i was in amsterdam last thanksgiving. they were really good and i would love to try them perfectly ripe and large :) you're very lucky to live in a part of the world that you can get them!
by the way, that indian food looks delicious! (i'm vegetarian so i can't really comment on the rest)

You are making me so hungry! I'm drooling over that Peking Duck and the Sukiyaki. But what really has me foaming at the mouth are the Blueberry Pancakes. Yum!
I like all kinds of fruits, so now I'm curious about the mangosteen. What a good reason to travel... to find new fruits. heh.
Great pictures, by the way! Thanks!

My mouth is watering over the sight of all that food! Some of my favourites too. I love Peking duck, fish 'n chips, Korean BBQ, and especially Indian food. I've never tried mangosteen, but it looks like an interesting fruit.

Mariko, glad you picked up on the sakura-mochi!! I was gonna write about it but decided not too. On our first day we had dinner at our company's Bangkok office president's house and he's Japanese. They hired a bunch of chefs for the night, so it was a mixture of local and Japanese cuisine - very interesting.
