CHEESE CAKE

As  I told you before on the first blog article, I do love cheese cake!! I believe that cheese cake is the most delicious cake in the world. Today, I will introduce two baked-cheese cakes that I have eaten before.

Cream Cheese Tart

 Do you know "Quil fait bon"? It is a kind of cafe where you can take out tarts and cakes or you can eat them with coffee and tea. I went to quil fait bon in Aoyama with some of my friends. I ordered "Cream Cheese Tart" and "Matcha Tiramisu" with Earl Grey tea. They were so delicious!!!!!!! The cafe features French style, so the exterior and interior are very cute<3 There are some shops in Japan, if you get interested you should try them!

White Chocolate Cream Cheese Cake 

This is what I ate yesterday at the restaurant, "Ocean Table." It is located near my house but I had not been there for a long time. The restaurans faces the sea and has some tables outside, so you can enjoy the meal as looking at the sea. It is an ordinary restanrant at dinner time but you can enjoy buffet at lunch time! I heard that you have to go and wait in front of the gate before it opens if you want to go there at lunch time because it is very popular and crowded all the time.

The white cream cheese cake with vanilla ice cream was very very very delicious. I loved it. My friend ordered "Caramel Oreo Cream Cheese cake"! It was a little bit bitter but vert tasty. There are 6 kinds of cheese cake and all of them looks delicious. The size of cake was much bigger than I expected so I was full when I ate half of it, though.

I do love eating cheese cakes and also I do love making cheese cakes by myself.

This is what I made for Velentine's Day present for my boyfriend.

Actually I prefer baked cheese cake to rare cheese cake, but he prefers rare one, so I made it for the first time. I want to try some other kinds of cheese cake:)

If you have any recommendation of cafe or shop where we can have cheese cake, please please please tell me and take me there!

School Lunch

If you were born in Japan and grew up in Japan, does this lunch remind you of your school days?

This is the typical school lunch in Japan; rice, soup, fish or meat, vegetables, fruits and milk. Last week I went to the elementary school in Makuhari to support English classes as a volunteer. After the class, the teachers served us school lunch! I haven't had school lunch for a while, so I was very excited as if I got back to the elementary school!!!

Actually there are many kinds of school lunch among Japan. This picture on the right side is exactly what I have eaten in junior high school.

When I was in junior high, I didn't care about eating rice with milk, but now I cannot believe I eat rice and soup with milk together...

Anyway, Japaneseschool lunch is very healthy and well-balanced:) I like it!

Then, what kind of school lunch are eaten in other countries? I found some pictures of school lunch from some articles and blogs. I don't know whether it is true or not, though.

Korean school lunch

Rice, Kimchi, Banana, Kind of Noodle, Some Green and Soup.

How do they eat soup? With spoon? If anyone knows how to do it, please tell me!

Malawian School Lunch

They have lots of beans......isn't it too much?

Swedish School Lunch

I cannot figure out what is served on the plate but looks healthy!

French School Lunch

I love cheesecake!!! I want to eat it! But there are too much fries...

 American School Lunch (Healthy Ver.)

Low-fat milk, lots of beans and fruits! It looks very healthy:)

 American School Lunch 2

Apple sauce, Chocolate milk, Hash brown, Chiken Nuggets.

It doesn't look healthy and well-balanced....

I want to try it just once.

There are so many kinds of school lunch and it is influenced by their food culture.

After all, I do love Japanese food the best.

OOTOYA

Do you know "OOTOYA"?

It's Japanese restaurant where I have been working since I graduated from high school.Most of dishes are served with rice and miso-soup, so if you like Japanese style food please check this out! We have some kinds of foods used meat(chicken, pork), grilled fish, a bowl of rice topped with chicken and eggs(oyakodon), soba and udon. Those who live alone, in particular, should come to our restaurant and you can eat well-balanced healthy food. Also we have some sweets of maccha or small adzuki beans.

While I work at OOTOYA as a waitress, I am one of the fans of OOTOYA, too:) So I would like to introduce the most favourite set menu today.

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES STIR-FRY

WITH BLACK VENEGAR SET

(790 yen 1075 kcal)

If you come to OOTOYA to have lunch or dinner for the first time, I strongly reccomend you to eat this menu.

This it the most popular of all the dishes. Fried chicken, fried root vegetables such as carrots and lotus root or popatoes are tossed with sweet-and-sour vinegar. If you don't like chicken, you have 2 choices; fried pork or fried cod fillets.
