Emishi Japanese restaurant

Bangkok - We had a hankering for Japanese food and Lesley know of one of his favourite place - Emishi but due to Covid, he was not sure whether this restaurant still exist. Luckily for us, it was still around.

Address: 10110 Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, Vadhana, Bangkok, Soi Sukhumvit 23

This restaurant has a very Hokkaido setup and we were shown to a nice wooden cubicle creating a very casual dining. The food is very fresh and extremely good quality. The price is reasonable for the quality and quantity given.

Octopus Wasabi

This small tablespoon of dish is very slimy but extremely delicious, the Octopus mixed with a wasabi and slight spicy chilli makes this dish very tasty.

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.

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.
