マトンカレー、８００円。
Mutton curry, comes with salad and chai. The naan is thin, crispy in the middle, and quite dry in texture…not quite my favourite kind of naan. The curry is a bit mild too.

フォアグラのテリーヌ。ウズラのバターライス詰め。
Foie gras terrine. A thin slice but very rich foie gras taste. The salad, especially the asparagus is so good.
Roasted quail stuffed with butter rice. My friends said the rice tasted like pilaf in yoshoku place. ^^;; The quail is tender, the vegetables are plenty and very tasty, the sauce is not too heavy.
ヌガー・グラッセ。
Nougat Glace. Lots of nuts and dried fruits, nice too.
Full course dinner(not including coffee) is only 2980yen, so cheap! Such a feminine restaurant - the staffs and the customers are 100% female. The food is mild and healthy tasting and lots of veggy, yet the portion is not too small. Though the wine-based cocktail I ordered was mainly just plain soda, and the glass wine was not a generous amount….better to order a bottle of wine instead. I have come here for lunch before (see tag) and I had the 2100yen lunch and it was wonderful. Very popular place so must book in advance.

夜のひとりごはんセット。
A cafe specialised in tofu. Dinner set for 1 person, forgot exactly how much but I think it was less than 2000yen. The two appetizers were both tofu, the one on the left was more smooth, the waitress said something about the powder thing on top but I couldn’t catch her words, it tasted like grounded nutshells…pretty tasteless. ^^;; The tofu on the right had a rough texture, with sweet and slightly hot miso on top. A big pot of soy bean tea(Okara-cha), tasted like Barley tea(Mugi-cha).
サラダ。大豆とコンビーフのごちそう 豆腐サンド。
A big plate of salad with tofu, pine nuts, sesame seeds, yuba(dried tofu skin), dried little shrimps and other spices. The heavy amount of spices used actually made it very tiring to eat the whole plate…
Soy beans and corned beef and tofu sandwich. The soy beans were mixed with the corned beef. The bread used was “English bread” apparently. The sandwich was quite good, the tofu was grilled and the bread was toasted. Though the corned beef was too heavily peppered, and if you don’t eat it quickly(e.g. busy taking pics…^^;;;) the bread will become watery because of the tofu. Some crackers and pickles on the side, which was unnecessary I thought….the pickles were strong with spice too.
できたてのお豆腐、黒蜜ときなこ付き。
Dessert was also tofu…by that time I was actually quite tired of it…^^;; Freshly steamed tofu, which was not sweetened. Black honey and soy bean flour on the side to add yourself…in fact I added all of them and it was still not sweet enough. ^^;; Gosh I was so full from all that tofu and my tongue a bit numb from too much spice. Though I think the tofu itself isn’t among the better ones I have eaten, and the seasoning relies too heavily on spice and nothing else. A full course is definitely too much. Just ordering the sandwich will be great though if you crave a healthy meal.

UPDATES!
Tofu gratin isn’t so good.
ワンプレートランチ、１５００円。ガスパチョ。
Holiday lunch at a Spanish restaurant. Gazpacho - Spanish chilled soup made from tomato, cucumber, onion and bell pepper. Very nice and refreshing.
豚ロースのスバイス焼モルーノ風とチーズ、トマトのボカディージョ。
タパス２種盛合わせ：穴子のフリッターとスパニッシュオムレツ。
Bocadillo(Spanish sandwich) with grilled spicy pork, cheese and tomato. Also fried anago and spanish omelette and salad. Good quality food…and in large quantity! The baguette is fresh, the salad is delicious, and the anago is just fried and very hot. I did want a little bit more salt for the anago and the omelette, but I was happy enough.
The lemon and chocolate cake is pretty normal though. Lunch menu here and here.
La Campana
つけ麺。皿ワンタン。
Tsuke-men and wonton. The soup - made from dried salmon, pork and chicken etc. - is sour and sweet and chilli-powder kind of spicy…don’t really like it. Chashu is a bit hard and dry, the wonton is pork, quite heavy with salt and heavy. Need to drink a lot of water to eat all these. Stuffed up to my throat by the end.
灰汁美
Lunch buffet, 1000yen. I was just thinking the soup tasted really salty and weird, then later realised it was actually very diluted red curry with only a few pieces of chicken and a lot of radish. And I put this in my mouth and was devastated that it didn’t belong to the fried vegetables…dunno where I was looking. All the food I took were pretty bad too.
