Today I prepared beef tapa marinate!
And... I got to taste really good real Japanese food. I was thinking I was getting tired of Japanese food already but after tasting Japanese food at this place called... Yikes, I forgot. Ootaya? ...in Meguro, I realized the only type of Japanese food I've been taking is school cafeteria food, frozen ready-to-heat-then-eat food, and actually not much of convenience store food anymore, which tastes a lot better (though a little more expensive than cafeteria or frozen food).
Anyways, my day started out getting up a little late to catch the bus, which again on Sundays, comes only every 30 minutes. So I rode the bike to Atsugi Trellis, half-way to the Hon-Atsugi station, and where there are more buses available.
And then back to Meguro church, and then to... Ootaya? ...It was Prof Germar's birthday and he treated us out - there were 4 of us who had lunch together. Prof Germar and I also had a glass of Kirin Beer each.
Then we went to Musashi-Koyama shopping street. It was basically an old street that was renovated to be pedestrian-friendly, complete with a translucent roof that protects from rain but still provides some daylight on the street. And it was like 5 or more blocks long of shops. There were 2 100-yen stores along the street. McDonald's, KFC - the usual. Supermarkets, grocery stores, shoe stores, bags, fashion, toys, books, "recycled" (2nd hand) goods, a sauna.... Yup, a sauna. Kinda out of place, eh?
And then back home. Well, back to Atsugi Trellis first, to pick up my bike and ride it home. It was a difficult ride home. I was so tired...
Then I had Picadillo for dinner! Yum.
And I felt even more tired after eating dinner! I ate so much. Yum. Yesterday I thought it was too salty, and it still is but it turned out fine, if eaten with rice. Also I thought I should've put pepper, but it still turned out just fine. I love Filipino food!
While I was heating my dinner, I marinated some thin slices of beef in beef tapa marinate, the recipe for which I got from this website: http://www.pinoyrecipe.net/filipino-beef-tapa-recipe-cured-beef/.
I'm excited to have Tapsilog on Tuesday morning. :-)
...Except it's not going to be the usual Tapsilog. Instead of Tapa-Sinangag-Itlog, it will just be Tapa-Sinaing-Itlog. :-D
