Grocery shopping in Japan





We did some grocery shopping. I bought another blood pressure gauge. I left the old gauge in SG. The new one is $30 ($50) cheaper than the old gauge ($79). I need it to monitor my BP.
There were other groceries besides the ones shown above. The freshly baked loaf of bread is worth waiting for ($3). The bakers bake this type of bread 3 times a day and so one has to be there at the right time or else they will be sold out.
The big prawns are so cheap and fresh (recommended for sashimi too) and 9 pieces cost a mere $8 (90cts each). In SG, a similar size one would have cost $2 each.
The fresh pork ($4) will be fried with ginger for our lunch today.

Eating prawns and sukiyaki beef at home






Food stuff is rather inexpensive in Japan. The 304 gm of thinly sliced beef is S$ 6.50. Nine pieces of big fresh prawns (fit to eat as sashimi) is $7. We cooked the beef in sukiyaki style with leek and cabbage. The prawns were dipped in hot boiling water for a few seconds. We each had the above with 2 bowls of Japanese rice.

Prawns, Sambal kangkong, potatoes salad lunch

Today's lunch




Bought the prawns from a wet market at Yishun. The price is quite ok ( 12 pcs or 500 grams for $14).



Yesterday's lunch at Eng's Noodles,Tanjong Katong Road



This is one of the best wanton noodles in Singapore. I dare not put too much chilly sauce on it because it is super hot and can cause stomach upset. Btw, the wantons are hidden underneath the noodles. This is Eng's way of keeping the wantons soft and tasty.
