Meet up with Naoko

Meeting up with Naoko again, before she leaves Tokyo to go back to her hometown.

We went to one of our favourite place in Nishi Kasai - Luce.

They must have recently renovated the place as it looked prettier now. 

Also, they have changed their menu. For the same price, you now get less dishes but I guess that is good too so that we don't over stuff ourselves.

The lasagna that I had was super good. I will definitely revisit just for that.

Also, every time when you are at Luce, you have to order their cakes because they are super good. It was so good that we all ordered a second one.

It was really nice to be able to catch up with her again and I will definitely visit her at Shizuoka.

Luce, Nishi Kasai

Back at Luce again to meet Kiu because they're lunch sets are just too hard to resist.

This time not all of us ordered the 7 course meal as it was definitely too much for the 3 of us the last time!

Kiu and I ordered the 7 course and J ordered just a pasta. Poor him, the last time we were there, he had to swallow all the food I couldn't finish.

As usual, Luce has very interesting dressing. This is the strawberry dressing.

I always enjoy their appetisers and pizza. Their pizzas are really good and value for the money.

J had the ham and bacon pasta which came with a very light cream sauce. I miss thick carbonara sauces for pasta but it's hard to find here in Japan,

I had this green soup which tasted like peas. Again very watery or should I say milky, rather than thick and creamy.

This time Kiu and I both had the crab pasta because while the sauce isn't very thick, it was super flavourful.

I had the fish main which was yummy.

Kiu ordered the chicken main which was juicy and good too but I preferred the fish.

Also, let's not forget that we get a cake too at the end of the meal. I always enjoy the cakes at Luce. While it's just a small place, the serve really good cakes.

Luce, Nishi Kasai

Luce's lunch courses are such good deals that it's hard to resist them every time I visit.

This time, the 3 of us had the full lunch course which came an appetiser, bread and cream soup.

Sadly the pie wasn't baked properly that day.

A salad, with an interesting dressing. I think this was strawberry dressing.

For our mains, we all ordered different pasta. The crab one was K's, this creamy pasta with prawn was mine and the one with ikura was J's.

For the second main dish, I was the only one who opted for the fish, while the other 2 had meat.

The fish as delicious and the pork was surprisingly yummy too. I thought that it would be dry since it was fried.

Lastly, the meal also comes with a cake!

We had a lemon tart, mango tart and mille feuille cake.

Cakes at Luce are really good. For a small little shop that doesn't have a franchise any where else, it definitely has some very good baked items!!!

Missing indian food

Having indian food again!

My favourite prawn masala with garlic naan~ This prawn masala is a nice change from the butter chicken which is the most common curry here in Japan.

Our second time dining here together. Every time we come, we have the chicken briyani because it's super delicious!

Nian san shi

CNY is not a public holiday here but I got the day before CNY off from work to go to the tax office.

After that, I even had time to drop by Luce for some delicious cakes~!!! I've been missing their cakes for quite some time! As strawberries were in season, the pastries with strawberries were amazing!

At night, I met up with YH for shabu-shabu dinner as it is CNY after all.

I found this place that served pork only shabu-shabu which was good for YH.

The pork served was good too. I like that they come in a big platter.

We only had 3 platters for the night.

Overall, the food was good and this place is good for people who don't take beef so I guess I will be back again.

Moving Day~

Went to grab Sushi after I was done packing and still had some time left before the movers arrive.

I really enjoy the sushi here.

It's actually my first time here alone.

I get this pumpkin tempura every time I visit. It's super good and I always forget to order the sauce.

This place is always crowded. So glad that I arrived before the lunch crowd.

I really like their salmon cheese with mayo and basil sauce.

And this here is my fav dessert there. Some sort of frozen creme brulee~

After that, the movers arrive and moved all my things to my new place. Unfortunately, they can't bring me so I took the train to my new place and waited for them to arrive.

After spending several hours unpacking, C dropped by to grab dinner with me. I was truly thankful to be able to grab dinner with a friend because I felt lonely and scared in a new place.

We grabbed sushi at the restaurant near my place and the food was yummy.

C had sake.

We both ordered the sushi set which looked like this.

We also ordered a few other dishes to share. This is the katsuo.

My first time trying kazunoko......not a fan of this!

This baked seafood here is amazing~!!! Super flavourful and smells amazing~!!! Gotta come back for more.

To end the meal, we had tamago yaki.

After that, we went exploring around the area and found several interesting shops.
