Recently, I try to eat only vegetables. But sometimes I miss meat and fish. During holiday I went to Japan and I had a lot of Japanese food.
First is a fried prawn rice bowl. This is yummy!! There were some pieces of vegetables inside the fried prawn:)
Next is a eel rice bowl. I thought New Zealander don't like to have a eel. However, Maori people used to eat eels, so culture is similar to Japanese one.
Finally, this is Japanese soup for New Year season. The soup bases on soy source and fish stock. Inside the soup, there are Roasted Duck and Rice Cake.
When I wrote down this blog, I remembered Yummy Japanese Food....
And also, I ate too much. That's why I need to try vegetarian.
さてさて、最近働き始めたんですが、それとともにベジタリアン生活も開始。
でもやっぱり肉、魚が恋しいので正月に日本に帰って食べてきた和食の一部をご紹介。
まずはかきあげ丼。地味だけど、おいしい。
ニュージーランドにも、どんぶり屋さんはCityにあってTake awayとかできるみたい。
でも、あんまり外食しないので、聞かないで＾＾
次はうな丼。ニュージーランダーはうなぎなんか食べないだろうと思ってたけど。
昔のニュージーランドに住んでたマオリの人たちは食べてたんだって。言葉もそうだけど、マオリと日本の文化は似てるところがあるので、結構面白い＾＾
最後に、お雑煮。といろいろ食べてしまったので、食生活改善中。
年のせいか、1週間の不摂生を戻すのに2,3週間かかる。。。。
あーやっぱりもうちょっとベジタリアン生活続けよう。

I came back:) I connected my blog to facebook. But I hate this connection, that's why I haven't post my blog since April or around that time. (I didn't remember....) 
I bought a car last weekend. I realized this is my first car, because I lived in Tokyo, parking fee was really expensive, and public transportation is very good. If I had a car in Japan, I would pay $100-140/week for car parking. I couldn't buy a car.
My Russian flat mate brought Caviar from her home. Her souvenir was red caviar, which were salted eggs of the salmon. In Japan, people eat the caviar with rice, but I head Russian people have caviar with toasted bread and butter. I have never eaten Caviar Sandwich. To my surprise, the caviar sandwich was quite nice!
Year-crossing noodles are traditional Japanese food. Japanese people eat noodles, mainly Soba noodles, on New Year's Eve. But this time we had "Tukemen", which is similar to "Ramen" (Chinese noodles) and separates noodles from soup. When we eat "Tukemen", we dip some noodles into the soup. This soup was made from pig bones and some fishes, so it was very tasty!!
