Cooking Your Own Food

The temperature is cool and nice tonight. It is 10.00 pm. Koichiro and I just finished finalising the Anthony Robbins "Date with Destiny" - Japan marketing and also Jay Abraham's "Mr X" book. If all goes well, Jay Abraham's "Mr X" will be available in Japanese soon. Koichiro asked if I'd like to go for dinner. I recalled that I ate at Yoshinoya about 4pm today. It is neither a proper lunch nor dinner. In Singapore, it is not unusual for us to eat at 10 pm or even midnight.

He wanted to bring me to an interesting traditional Japanese meal. In fact, I will be happy if we go eat at Curry House or Ramen. He added that he brought Veronica and Fabian the last time they were here and they loved it. If Fabian and Veronica had tried it, how can I lose out. OK, let's go. I rang Yang Po to see if she wanted to join us. As usual, she is already hungry by this time.

Koichiro brought us to a interesting Japanese restaurant in Shinjuku. This shop has been at this location for the last 100 years. As we went in, I noticed that most of the customers are young people. They all seen to be taking their own sweet time and casually enjoying themselves.

Koichiro ordered 2 dishes, one vegetable and the other seafood. They actually come in raw uncooked form. In the middle of the table is a hotplate very similar to a smaller version of the teppanyakki hot plate. When the raw food arrives, they also give you the scoop and frying pan where you are suppose to fry the raw food yourself. Koichiro demonstrated and showed off his cooking skill. He created a pancake of seafood and vegetables. We dipped our chopstick into the hotplate. The food is hot and delicious. How can Veronica and Fabian keep this delicious experience from me. We ordered an extra plate of noodle. Now it time to test Yang Po's cooking skill. We will now know what Bruce (Yang Po's husband ) must have gone through all these years. Haha, it turned out that Yang Po is a great cook. This is my first experience with Monja. Thank you Koichiro, thank you Yang Po. I have a delicious experience.

When there is good food, man will be happy. I am happy.
