    • The most expensive things in Tokyo are:
    1) Transport; 2) Food

    Eating out is expensive especially when involving servicing staff. However, you can still find cheap food in Tokyo. This is my lunch: Uni rice with fresh crab eggs, plus a bowl full of green beans. I bought from supermarket at less than Yen500!

    Hmm... there's no "Thai" selection in the "Restaurant theme" check box... I don't know the name & address of this restaurant, any VTer can suggest for me please? This is where our VT Meeting took place.

    Favorite Dish: GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT AMOSPHERE, GREAT FOOD. It would be perfect if our table located along window side where we can view Roppongi and Tokyo Tower at night. I love almost all the dishes, especially the green curry, my all time favourite. The Chilli Prawn was GREAT! Morli would love the taste. Too bad we finished all when he noticed the empty prawn plate. ;>

    • I don't know the name of this pancake thing. I only know I had 2 choices: Cheese or Red Bead. I choose cheese. Nice taste!!! Not enough to fill my stomach though. Well... it seems like I was the only one eating while walking on the streets, no manner?!!!

    • Japanese people love to queue! This ramen shop located in a back streets in Akihabara, long queue even it's 3pm in the afternoon. It must be good, but I dare not to stand and wait. If you have chance trying their Ramen, let me know if it really worth waiting.
