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.

Honda Prelude

I came across this Honda Prelude workshop in Japan. This workshop service other cars besides the Prelude but it seems like the latter dominate the place.
If one can recall the Prelude was one of the most famous and popular sport cars in Singapore back in the 80s and 90s.

Raining & cold outside

Since it is raining, we decided to eat at home. We made our own pizza and also ate salad and have miso soup. Temperature is around 10c throughout the day....quite cold to me!

Tempura prawns & beef dinner

It's been a while since we cooked tempura. We also had the beef from a supermarket and cooked it for dinner. The salad (broccoli and lettuce) are from our little garden. It was a good and nutritious meal.

Another visit to "Granny Famous Briyani"

We visited "Granny Famous Briyani" again for lunch. This time we ordered curry fish (2 slices), a piece of chicken thigh, potato with long beans and briyani rice (+ an egg). The food is fabulous and according to granny her curry does not include coconut milk. The total bill is $16.50 which is reasonable.

Singapore desserts

These desserts (ice kachang, grass jelly with attap chee and chendol) are from the hawker center next to the Bedok interchange & MRT station. Each cost $2 and they are served by an elderly male hawker.

Thai chicken rice restaurant

We were at Nex Mall and decided to try the chicken rice at the new restaurant called " Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice". The chilli for the chicken is not like the one that goes with the Hainanese chicken rice and so we were disappointed. A small bowl of chicken rice cost S$2 and the white rice $1.20. The steamed sea bass was $38++ and had the taste of mud as though it was a freshwater fish. The half portion chicken ($16) was dry and not as good as the Hainanese chicken. The soup ($6.50 a small bowl) was good. The spinach soup was so so and the fried egg (omelette) was acceptable. Best of all was the Thai chendol.

Granny Famous Briyani

This is one of the best nasi briyani (S$5.50c) in SG. It is called "Granny Famous Briyani". Besides briyani, there are other South Indian dishes like curry chicken, curry mutton, curry fish etc etc. The chefs are all Indian ladies. The place is opposite Hougang Block 953 along Yio Chu Kang Rd (on top of a slope). Below is the bus stop with bus service numbers where you alight. Operating hours of Granny is from about 11.30am till 3 pm daily.
