Motorino Pizzaria/ Veniero Pastry/ Kong Fu Tea
since these 3 stores are only one block away from each other.. perfect for a casual dine out day
First order puffy, creasy, yummy, heavy in flavor pizza at Motorino... the dough is different than regular pizza you would get from other pizzeria.. it taste more like italian bread but with QQ chewy texture... i had a take out today, just want to chill and enjoy my pie at home...
love their Brussels Sprout & Pancetta w mozzarella / garlic/ percorino... since Brussels Sprout is such a hard to cook-well veggie.. they do a awesome job on putting it as topping and baked it w other ingredients... soooooooo goooooooood....
their 12" personal pie price range from $9 -17, and also have some small Antipasti to choose from
next, after yummy greasy pizza, M's must have after meal dessert this time, would be heading over Veniero... This italian pastry shop has been open since 1894... NEVER GO OUT OF TREND... one of the best cheese cake place i would go to and of course their other fruit tarts and pastries....oh oh... loving their frozen cappuccino.... don't miss that.....
then, found this newly open bubble tea place "Kung Fu".. the best to try is "Kung Fu tea" a bit different that regular milk tea.. made of brown sugar tapioca blend with fresh milk... taste sooooooo good.. will get addicted... :p

Tokyo Fall 2010
Summary of my Fall 2010 Tokyo dining trip
11/16 Arrived at Narita Airport, got Limousine bus ticket 3000 yen, add 100 yen can get an one day metro pass (normally cost 700 yen)..
Tokyo Subway Map

cousin took me to couple famous yummy restaurants with good deals.. check it out...
叙叙苑 (Jojoen)
An upscale japanese yakiniku chain stores.. we went to the one on top of the Tokyo Concert Hall building in Shinjuku. Famous with its wagyu beef yakiniku, usually it would cost about 10,000yen per serving for dinner, during lunch time has better value .. We ordered a yakiniku set and galbi noodle soup.
美登利 (Midori Sushi)
This place serves great quality fish that you normally would get in high-end restaurant but in low price, has couple locations. As cousin's advice do not go to the one in Shibuya.. I LOVE their broiled sushi... it's soooooo good, if anyone ever been to Sushi of Gari in New York, probably would know what kind of sushi style i am talking about... but the price is much cheaper than new york, of course...

追分だんご (Oiwakedango): 東京都新宿区新宿３-１-22
located in Shinjuku in between O1O1(MaruiOne and Marui Accessory). Specialized in 和菓子, rice cake
Katsu-gen: in Marubiru (old marunouchi building)
Best Tonkatsu I had in tokyo.. Usually Tonkatsu has 2 different kinds of pork texture, Rosu (lion, has better aroma and texture) and Hire (tenderloin, has good tenderness and texture). This restaurant also serve 黑豚 (あぢもり,Adimori) I ordered the ochazuke version (お茶漬け), about 3/4 way done with the meal, put in all the ingredients (Shirasu boshi- dry anchovies, pickles, sesames) and pour "green tea" over the rice.. it has very different taste, 2 in one dish... :)
叶 匠壽庵 (Kanou Shoujuan)
heeheee... another fav. must visit dessert place in tokyo..:) I always go to the one in 新丸ビル. Another traditional japanese dessert shop, famous with its 葛, あんみつ, よかん... its freshly made 葛, usually take about 20 mins to prepare, better go there earlier as they have limited quantity per day...
