ウニとアスパラのクリームソース。ランチは980円。
Spaghetti with sea urchin and asparagus in cream sauce. The pasta and the sauce didn’t taste like they were cooked together, but the sauce was creamy and quite tasty and had spinach and tomato in it. The reason why I took 200 pictures at a cheap lunch like this is that, it was my 4th attempt to go to this place for lunch! First time it was closed, thought maybe they no longer do lunch, then another day I passed by and it was opened for lunch but I was in a hurry and couldn’t go in. I went back the 3rd time and it was closed again! So when I actually ate there, it felt like a precious experience….^^;;

カツカレー、680円。
Pork cutlet curry, so cheap! The curry is a bit salty but yoshoku curry is like that anyway. Surprisingly there were a few groups of female customers amongst the guys.

BUDDHA (ブッダ)
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.

啜処 灰汁美 (Akubi)
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.

Thai Restaurant Mekong (メコン)
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.
屯ちん (Tonchin)
とんこつラーメン+みそ+得入り。
Tonkotsu ramen with miso and assorted toppings. The soup is thick but very good – surprisingly it is not the usual unbearably salty pork bone soup in other ramen places, but actually drinkable. The chashu(pork) is one of the best I have had in Ikebukuro. Only that the ramen is also one of the softest and most overcooked…^^;; Later I checked out other people’s reviews and it seems like the noodle is always that soft, and I wasn’t just unlucky. This place is very popular so always a looooong queue. Though when I went, I got a seat immediately, and after I sat down, a queue suddenly formed outside the shop. ^^;;;;
