Last month Mariko attended a curry class, and tonight she put what she learned to good use with an incredible Indian curry. The flavor was so complex and delicious, way more interesting than a Japanese curry made from cubes (although I love that too!).
And of course we had to have egg with our curry, as always. 🍛🥚
Today we ate curry for lunch at 温（おん）, and it turned out the building used to be a sento, a public bath. The owners kept part of the original baths intact, and there are actually dining tables set up right inside where the tubs used to be. Such a neat idea!
The curry itself was really good too. It wasn’t like typical Japanese curry at all, more like an Indian curry with all kinds of spices layered in. The plate was loaded with different veggies, so every bite had a little surprise waiting. Such a fun lunch! 😋
I met up with a friend for lunch today at Go Go Curry in the Gardena Tokyo Central. It was my first time trying the chain, and I have to say, it held up pretty well. I’m still a CoCo Ichibanya person at heart, but Go Go Curry is not bad! I’d go back. 🍛
I made Sri Lankan chicken curry the other day, and we just finished the last of it tonight. Day 3 curry is so tasty! 🍛
There is nothing better than second-day curry. 🍛 The flavors always deepen overnight, and today’s bowl did not disappoint.
Two eggs tucked underneath made it even better. 🥚
There’s a great song by Blur called Coffee and TV, but tonight I had my own version: Curry and TV. 🍛 The hardest part of the evening was picking what to watch from my “Continue Watching” queue. I ended up going with Gimbap and Onigiri followed by Tokyo Love Story. Good times! 📺
Oh, and that bottom photo? That’s the scene of the crime. I’m pretty sure Anko was licking the ladle and knocked it right onto the floor! 🐱
The temperatures in Texas are dropping fast, so a hot and spicy bowl of Thai curry feels extra satisfying right now. It is the perfect way to warm up from the inside out. Spicy, comforting, and exactly what the day called for.
