Sometimes being indecisive helps..
Today was another of those 'why did this day have to end?' days. Finally bought a bicycle, spending too much money (Cannondale Bad Boy Disc), and had only little time to play with it before it got dark (about 18:20 or so).
Marked feature of the day: decision paralysis. First I spent 3 hours wondering if I should buy the bicycle (obviously, yes - my body cannot otherwise most likely stay in shape here anyway), and then having finally bought it, I bicycled back home and had a long nice bath. After the bath (which took bit over 1 hour), I read a book a bit and then walked to the shopping neighbourhood to buy some towels. After that, second instance of decision paralysis - I spent maybe one hour walking around, looking for restaurant that fit my criteria (undefined), and that looked a) reasonably priced and b) interesting.
After the first one month of ramen mania (maybe 20-30 cups of different noodles eaten in the shops nearby), I went through Indian food stage (quite many nice Indian restaurants both in Shinjuku and Shibuya), but despite the temptation of Indian restaurants, I had already eaten Indian twice this week.
So, I wandered on. Finally in the (ill-reputed) Kabukichou district of Shinjuku, I found reasonable-looking set menu in yakiniku (korean-ish barbeque) place. So, wondering about the quality of the food I went there.
And, much to my surprise, the food was good _and_ there was more than enough of it. Contents of the set I ate (roughly)
- kimchi (korean vegetable dish)
- some salad
- onions, mushrooms and some other vegetables fried over the fire
- some pieces of chicken (not quite sure which)
- pork ribs (nice chunks too, maybe 200-300g)
- some you-do-not-really-want-to-know bits of ox/cow
- french fries
- bowl of rice
- nice soup
- ice-cream dessert
- glass of orange juice.. and lots of water..
When the course was nearing it's end, I really wondered if I had understood the scheme correctly - was this really all for one person? (I could barely eat it all)
In the end, yes, it was.. and grand total cost was 3037 yen (about 22 euros). Talk about cheap 2-hour quality dining experience!
Tired, I wandered home and now proceed with the anime-watching maraton - although I am already looking forward to getting my desk on monday so I can finally buy a larger monitor than my laptop's 10.8" screen :)
