煮付けブリ定食、８４０円。 Yellowtail lunch set, cheap and a lot of food! The madam was so friendly.
There will be more entries like this, simple and quick lunch for a couple of weeks since I will be busy~~

春キャベツとアンチョビのトマトソース、セットで１０００円。Cabbage and anchovy in tomato sauce. Actually not bad! Pasta not too over-cooked and the tomato sauce was good. See, I am not that fussy~~
うなぎ重（月）、１７８５円。きも吸、２１０円。Unagi and rice. Craved it suddenly. Already chose the cheapest rank on the menu but unagi is always so expensive…
Went with a friend and ordered 2 appetizers, 2 pasta and 2 meat dishes to share. The waitor was kind enough to divide everything into half for us, so the pictures are all half portion.
Appetizers are foie gras pate, and roasted quail stuffed with multi-grain risotto and cheese. Both are very good, especially the quail.
Fusilli in seafood ragu sauce with anchovy and pine nuts and seaweed. Pappardelle in meat ragu sauce. The pasta is kinda normal.
Charcoal grilled pork. Roasted lamb in onion, anchovy and vinegar sauce. Wow the meat dishes are amazing!! Simply good quality meat grilled to perfection and I don’t need anything else! The charcoal grilled pork smells and tastes heaven with only salt. The lamb is tender and the sauce nicely savoury. The potatoes and onions on the side are lovely too.
The interior of the restaurant was not exactly that pretty and the lighting was just gloomy but not atmospheric. When we went, it was very empty, no music was playing, the many waitors with kinda stiff posture were standing nearby, dead quiet, the kitchen was just right next to us, also produced very little sound….frankly the atmosphere was terrible…^^;; At first when I took out the camera, the waitor told me not to use flash, I was not going to use anyway….But after I took pictures of each dish, he brought the lamb to me before cutting it into half so that I could take pictures first, probably because he thought it would look better as a whole, so maybe they didn’t mind the pictures but were afraid that the flashlight might bother other customers. My friend who doesn’t understand Japanese took a picture of me sucking the bones with the flash though…^^;; The portion was so huge that my friend couldn’t finish the lamb, I was quite full but was going to eat it for her, but the waitor came up and said he would wrap it up for us to take-away. I have never been to an upscale restaurant that does that…I think if there were more customers, the atmosphere would have been more lively and the experience more enjoyable. And just order the appetizers and the meat dishes would be satisfying enough, the pasta can be skipped. ^^;;

渋皮栗あんみつ。Chestnut anmitsu.
鹿乃子あんみつ、１２５０円。
Kanoko Anmitsu.
All those time I was hanging out in Ginza, I never knew about this Japanese sweets place. It is sooooooooo good!
鹿乃子
My second visit to this Argentine restaurant. Meat pie, I had last time. The pizza…I took the photo but I ended up forgetting to grab a piece before it ran out…damn…
Normal sausage and pork blood sausage. Lentil stew.
Sirloin steak. Beef cutlet.
Risotto. Pudding and milk cream that tasted like caramel. Ice-cream with whisky! The Argentine waitress speaks perfect Japanese but has an attitude!! ^^;; Very friendly though.
El Caminito
I have been to this place before and it was very good(see tag). This time I was planning to have the cheaper lunch course but the options for the main course were all beef and I had beef last time….ended up choosing the 5250yen lunch course again so that I could have the lamb for my main dish.
Octopus and couscous, a thin slice of fried potato on top(had the potato slice last time too!).
Appetizer is seafood consomme jelly with hotspring egg. The seafood are very fresh and sweet, even has sea urchin! But later I realised I had the similar appetizer last time….^^;;
Fish dish is sole, with butter sauce. The surface is lightly fried and golden crispy, very good.
Roasted lamb chop! Can remember the sauce’s name…vegetable bits and herb. This is the main dish I was desperate to have! The lamb is rare but amazingly soft and tender and has the right amount of fat - heaven!
The little dessert, I later realised, again, is the same vegetable bavarois I had the last time!
The eat-as-much-as-you-like wagon desserts! I had “a bit of everything” as usual.
Somehow the menu has not changed much in general since I came last time. Every dish is very delicious but it is true the second time is not as impressive as the first.
