Air-con fish market near Tsukiji
Tokyo - After our delicious lunch, by chance we came across this air-con fish market just next to the entrance of Tsukiji market.
There was many tourist at this fish market and the varieties of sea food were plenty.
It is much cheaper than seating down at the sushi restaurant we just ate and the sushi here is just at good. Next time, I will try the sushi here.

Tsukiji sushi bar
Tokyo - Lesley and I set off for Tsukiji to have some good and fresh sushi. It was raining cats and dogs, my socks is wet and the weather is cod. Some of the sushi shop had a long queue and some did not, maybe those had good reviews. We just decided to go to a sushi shop with no queue but there are people eating...
The sushi tasted so good.
This is just the first round of the set, which includes the rolls, etc.
The sushi tasted so good.

Long Table restaurant
Bangkok - I decided to go with Lesley to this rave about restaurant in Bangkok - Long Table restaurant. The Long Table restaurant is located on the 25 floor of the Column Hotel along Sukhumvit just a walking distance from my hotel.
It had been raining daily and fortunately the weather was holding and no rain in sight.
As I walk into the restaurant, there was a long table in the middle of the restaurant. We were shown to our table which looks like a lounge table. We had to take off our shoes to sit on this low table.
This dish tasted very delicious and good but it was quite spicy.
This Thai green curry was unique as it had minced pork wrapped with roasted chicken breast and sliced up. It tasted very good.
I was hankering for Prad Thai but this will be rated 2 out of 5 as the noodle was too springy.
The Salmon dish was a bit dry.
I don't think I will return to this restaurant as the menu was a bit pricy and one of the reason is the ambiance on the 25th floor with a beautiful view of Bangkok city.

Jones the Grocer
Bangkok - I went to the Bangkok branch restaurant of Jones the Grocer located on the ground floor of EmQuarter (Waterfall Quarter) - near Phrom Phong BTS. Jones the Grocer was an Australian company which was purchased by LVMH equity arm L Capital in 2012, but was placed on voluntary administration in mid 2014 after its Australian chief executive John Manos resigned from his position. This Australian icon restaurant now has a small presence in Australia.
The restaurant also sell gourmet grocery items mostly imported.
This medium rare strip loin steak was very tender and delicious. I like the way it was cook soft and succulent.
Both of the portions were very small and we had to order another dish which was the pizza.
The Pizza had 4 different types of cheese
