Bla Mee Nam Moo Sup, 900yen. The noodles lunch menu was in Thai only so I chose by looking at the pictures. Turned out to be minced pork and fish ball soup noodles. The soup was a bit too thin, but after adding a lot of sauces and chilli it became good. ^^;; The Thai waitress was super friendly.

クロアチア風真鯛のカルパッチョ。
シュトゥルクリ （クロアチア風ラザニア、パプリカスープ仕立て）。
A Croatian restaurant! Red sea bream carpaccio. Lasagne in paprika soup. Super yummy!
サルマ(クロアチア風ロールキャベツ) 。
Cabbage roll. It has meat and rice inside, very very good! It is near Ginza and the interior is very stylish, yet it is inexpensive and has good quality. I went for lunch but our menu was specially ordered that included some dishes from the dinner menu, the course was 2500yen and a glass of red wine was 800yen. Very very cheap indeed.

みそつけめん＋炙りチャーシュー、９００円。 I waited, outside this ramen place, alone, in the freezing cold for 40 minutes!! There were only about 8 or 9 people outside and I thought it should probably take 15 minutes, and also I am not familiar with this area and only know this ramen place. Turned out to be a long wait….the noodles and the grilled pork were very very good, but then I was so cold and tired and hungry…^^;;;

漬け白菜と角煮、中国風腸詰のなべ。Hot pot with fatty pork, pork blood sausage and preserved salted cabbage, 1370yen. I went on a weekend alone, which was a big mistake! Because in weekends they didn’t have set lunch for one person, and everything on the menu was huge portion. Of course I couldn’t finish it, and it was quite salty that I couldn’t eat it without rice. But it was good, a Northern Chinese cuisine that I don’t think I have tried before. All the waitors and waitresses were all chinese, the restaurant was not exactly nicely decorated but the food was very cheap and authentic-looking.
辛巻らーめん＋豚天、９８０円。A big fried spring roll with meat and spicy miso paste inside, and I ordered an extra fried pork…^^;; The spring roll was very nice but somehow the paste was all squeezed into one corner, so you would be eating non-spicy meat most of the time and then in the last bite your mouth was full of spicy paste….I wonder if it was deliberate.
I arrived at the restaurant precisely at 11:30am when it just opened, and there was already a guy waiting outside…unbelievable. Appetizer: chicken liver mousse. It is huge, especially the big pile of the marinated carrot salad. The mousse is nicer with bread so I ate half of the baguette too. I was 50% full by the time I finished the appetizer(the carrot!), and by that time the restaurant was full with customers.
The main dish looks familiar? Lamb in white wine stew - exactly the same dish as the one I had in the restaurant “LE MOGADOR” next door. There were 6 choices for the main dish, the others were pan-fried fish, pork sausage, chicken confit, beef steak and tripe stew…all of them sound predictable and not appealing at all. Believing that different chefs will make the same dish differently, I decided to give it a try…..but I was so wrong. It turned out to be very similar to the lamb stew I had the other day - similar tomato-based sauce, even the side vegetables were the same!! Though this time the sauce was much thicker. Maybe simple bistro menu are just similar everywhere and I was expecting too much? ^^;; I felt so tired of the taste halfway through and didn’t want to eat it anymore, but I forced myself to finish most of it. And I made a terrible mistake in ordering the dessert sampler at the beginning…the sampler turned out to be a lot! The chocolate terrine was really nice, mocha and caramel ice-cream were good, pear tart was alright and I just couldn’t finish the tarte tartan. All together it was 1880yen….it is so cheap! ^^; I couldn’t resist and asked the waitor if this restaurant is related to the restaurant next door. He said the two restaurants are under the same management(oh right!!) but the chefs decide their own menu and cook in their own style. I told him I had the same lamb stew in the restaurant next door and it tasted pretty much the same, but he said the chef in the other restaurant prefers more “dry” taste while the chef in this restaurant prefers “sweet” taste. I think the other one is better. Anyway, “mission completed”!! ^^;;
