Okonomiyaki

Well anyway, in Hiroshima we ate Okonomiyaki... first stop was a restaurant by the name of Mitchan. After eating at Mitchan, we went around town and we found Ah Chan or something like that... (copycats)

We had to queue up just to enter the restaurant ... but it didn't take long....

We sat down and watched as our stomach rumbled and saliva glands lost control...

*kiap kiap kiap*

(a bit like tortilla rolls, ... or roti canai on top of mi goreng)
 

we waited... and we started 'camwhoring' in the restaurant... (that hand on my right is trying to touch me)

There are quite little choices in the menu. The basic things in it are, squid, meat, bean sprouts, spring onions, cabbage, prawn, etc etc....

and you can choose your base, you can have your base either....

note the difference in that 2 pictures.... you can also choose to eat it from a plate, or eat it from the teppan (hot steel plate) where the chefs use to cook... ( i recommend eating from a plate)

Price of one okonomiyaki range from 600 to 1100yen (rm18 to rm33) ...(at this point you'll go...wahh so expensive).....  yeah.... it's Japan....

We waited....

Its ready...!!!!

we could tell cos the Okonomiyaki were like....

Okonomiyaki ,... simple said is Japanese pizza. If translated it means, grill as you like.... (I think)....

ok... first time's over. Wonderful taste.... 

But when in Hiroshima, how can we miss out this .....

(Zhiyi, don't faint...) .... It's Okonomi mura..... Okonomiyaki restaurants in Hiroshima are like mamaks in KL.... but this is too much... a 4-storey building.... more than 20 restaurants, all selling the same thing.....okonomiyaki....

But I assume there must be some differences between those restaurants....

the both of us literally went up and down looking for the right place to eat... some were packed, some were empty.... (so there ARE SOME differences among them)

Instead of choosing, I ended up saying, ....

" this one has a lot of guai lous... I think this one is popular..."

Okonomiyaki story The End ~~

oh by the way, I thought,

"How often do I get to go to a city bigger than Miyazaki, why not get a haircut too...."

we strolled round the city center... looking for a place to cut my hair.
Average pricing for a university student .... 3800 to 4500 yen (RM 112 ~ 135) ...

cheeeeee~~~ sin.....

But by luck, we came across a small shop, a young lady running it... with 3 customers waiting.....

1000yen - RM30 (i'm sure you can't get any lower unless you cut your own hair)

She is good.... very good....

To round off the entry.... here are some shots of Hiroshima ....

Did I mention that i Looooooove the tram system in Hiro?

Everyone was rushing home I guess.. you can tell from the cars...

... didn't turn out that good... if only they worked over-time... the buildings would be bright and nice...

the end...
