Sushi Dinner

Tokyo - Terry took me to a sushi bar near to the office and it was quaint.  I have been here once before and the chef was very friendly.   We started off with 'biru'.

sashimi platter
Starting from the right - Macheral, Bonito, clams and small squid. I thought it was tuna but it was a different type of fish - Bonito are a tribe of medium-sized, predatory fish in teh Scombridae family, belonging to the Sardini tribe.   
Japanese tuna
white fish
another type of white fish
mackeral with chopped shallots
sardine
Japanese clam sushi
small scallops sushi
sea urchin (uni) sushi
This was the best uni I have ever eaten - it is soft and sweet. I actually do not like uni because it has a bitter aftertaste. I was told by the Chef that this is a high grade Uni.
deep fried prawn shell

All of the prawns can be eaten and not go to waste; so the head of the prawn is deep fried and you can the crispy and crunchy part of the shell. We had a very delicious and good dinner.

Terry was not finish yet and we adjourned to another quaint joint which is bar.

Manila - Together with Albert, we took a calesa (horse drawn carriage used in Philippines) around Intramuros. Albert and Lesley Albert and I Intramuros is the oldest district and historic core of Manila.  The walled part of Manila was called intramuros, which is Latin for "within the walls"; districts beyond the walls are known as extramuros meaning outside the walls.  Construction of the defensive walls was started by the Spaniards in the late 16th century to protect the city from foreign invasions.   Guarding the old city is Fortaiago wich is located at the mouth of the river.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded.   Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect.  I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared.   My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup.  Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off.   I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang  I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup.  I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
