Japan Day 15 P3

After our mini eating spree @ Asakusa, we abolished going to the next destination, headed back to our apartment & attempted to pack our luggages.

We literally took almost 2 hours to pack all the shopping bags into our luggages & our official luggage count has increased exponentially to 7.

We headed out in search of food for our last meal in Tokyo. In Japan, they have these women-only cabins where women would be safe from gropers, as groping in crowded commuter trains has been a problem in Japan.

Rem Leecher threw tantrum at me cuz he didn't get to eat his tofu meal? We went back to Tokyo Tower in search of the restaurant. Before that, pictures first, wa ha ha!

With 333 meters, Tokyo Tower is 13m taller than its model, the Eiffel Tower of Paris and is the world's tallest self-supporting steel tower. It was completed in the year 1958 as a symbol for Japan's rebirth as a major economic power and serves as a television & radio broadcast antenna, as well as tourist attraction. We were debating if we should go up the observatory tower, but we decided to skip the idea & head for food instead!

Ta-dah! The long-awaited tofu meal for Leecher :) We were ushered in warmly by the attendants at the front yard. However ....... Leecher still didn't get to eat his much-anticipated meal as the restaurant was full -house that night, LOL. I was trying not to burst out laughing when Leecher gave the you-got-to-be-kidding-me-look to the waitress. When we came out from the restaurant, we saw hordes of tour groups entering the restaurant while Leecher walked out dejected.

So I decided to cheer him up with tuna crepes while he flipped his book of must-eat-food-in-Japan for our dinner.

So we arrived at this place, all geared up for charcoal grilled Yakitori :)

Seated at the bar-counter to witness the preparation.

Fresh ingredients right in front of us!

The divine menu, which we ordered almost 70% of what they have to offer!

Started the meal with some appetizers while waiting for the chef to work his magic round the kitchen.

Quick quick, I'm famished!

Due to our hunger, we polished these off as soon as they were served. One word: YUMS! Lightly salted & grilled to perfection, no wonder each stick costs an average of $2. You really pay for the quality and freshness!

Ordered more from the menu! Love the grilled cheese and biscuit combi, heavenly! As a non-vege lover, even the asparagus tasted good!

More more more to add to the plates, 2nd helpings, 3rd helpings & counting!

My 1st and only time eating raw chicken, yeah. We actually ordered the wrong item on the menu and imagine our shocked faces when this was placed in front of us. Surprisingly, it don't really have the raw taste, kind of sweet on its own. This officially became the highlight of the night!
