First off, the food here is fantastic - I'll post more about it once I learn more Japanese and can work out what it is I'm actually eating - but yeah every now and then you naturally end up craving some home comforts, its inevitable. Now my Dad is known in our family to make a seriously mean madras and as a result i've developed quite a taste for a good curry, so when I heard others in the apartment block talking about a local curry house I of course got quite excited.
me: "Ooh what did you have? jalfrezi? dupiaza?...."
Jo: *confused* "Chicken."
me: *sigh* : |
So yeah i'm yet to find an actual indian restaurant - or apparently anyone who even knows what a real curry is - although all's not lost, I have found a temporary fix. One that slakes my indian food cravings while also appeasing the moderate addiction to Greggs that I developed last year in Manchester... I bring you... deep fried CURRY DOUGHNUT !!
Baked things in general are pretty cool here actually, I hadn't expected the Japanese to be very up on that sort of food but in Tokyo at least you struggle to find a single street without a boulangerie or patisserie. They have a fascination with the French over here which I guess explains their depth of breaded delights (you can get a roll with literally anything in / on / covering it here) and day to day you occaisonally see french words in place of where you'd expect Japanese - to the extent where in some cases (like with bakers) these replacements seem to be the standard name.
Anyway... curry doughnuts, get on the case Greggs.
