Mos Burger is at it again… It seems like every month there’s a new gimmick – the latest being “let’s just throw random crap together and see how people like it”. One has to admire their boldness.
For a limited time, you can get the “Mos Naans” – Indian flatbread in two Mexican themed varieties:
Tacos Naan – flatbread topped with taco meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese sauce and broken taco chip pieces.
Chorizo Curry Naan – flatbread topped with cabbage, a spicy Mexican chorizo sausage and curry sauce.
One Sunday evening just after having moved back to Tokyo in 2008, we came across the most AMAZING ice cream truck parked in front of our building. At the time I was stuffed from dinner, however had I only known how elusive this truck would prove to be – I undoubtedly would have made room for desert.
Nearly every Sunday night since, we could hear its mocking jingle from our balcony: “Ice cream, Ice cream da yo~~~“. Needless to say, tracking down the source was a different matter altogether. Every effort we made at finding it turned up fruit… err – ice cream-less. It seemed as though the ice cream truck was but a figment of our imagination.
That is – until this Sunday!
I bring to you: Itabashiku’s one and only Ice Cream & Hot Dog Truck!
That’s right – ice cream AND hot dogs – two of nature’s finest foods served up in style by a single mobile vendor.
Faithful fans of genfab.com will know that we loveIndianfood. So it should come as no surprise that when we found out a new Indian restaurant was opening in our neighborhood – we were quite pleased.
Quite pleased indeed.
It’s a still few days from opening, but Indian Restaurant Binita sure looks authentic. They’ve started to advertise on our street – and we were handed their flyer this afternoon. Saag curries, samosas, naan bread… I’m salivating just thinking about it!
Let’s hope it’s all not a big fail – like their Web site URL…
I have been avoiding it for ages – but I figured I had best stop knocking it until I tried it: the elusive Strawberry Sandwich!
I’m not sure if it’s a Japanese 7-Eleven thing, but it seems to be the only convenience store where I find these. They stock them next to your more typical sandwhiches à la ham & cheese, egg and salad variety, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world… but we all know that’s a farce.
Do strawberries belong in a sandwich? Seems wrong doesn’t it. In my book, fruit should really be left out of a sandwich, unless you’re throwing peanut butter into the mix… then bananas and jams are all fair game!
But strawberries and whip cream? Even custard – behind this berry barricade?
Think furikake is a boring salt and seaweed sprinkle designed to simply cover up the even more boring taste of rice? Think again!
Introducing Marumiya’s Snoopy Furikake – the fun, Snoopy Approved™ way to eat rice!
Snoopy Furikake is chock full of cartoon character goodness – in the shape of tiny Snoopy heads! Lord only knows what’s really in those tiny Snoopy heads – or “Snoopy chips” as they are called – but they sure are cute. Needless to say, the packaging won us over. Our family has its fair share of Snoopy fans!
