Jugemu Shimbashi

So I’ve been here 3 times, and I agree with online reviews that this is a hideously overpriced Japanese restaurant, but the food is so beautifully good that the cost is justified. I really like the fact that it’s two restaurants in one as well. It’s no ordinary noodle/ramen/sushi shop – instead they do soba and okonomiyaki. Mmmmmmm

Encasa Deli (and tower defense)

So there’s this relatively new place that opened up in the city called Encasa Deli. I reckon it’s the little baby of the Encasa restaurant, which I’ve been to a few times. At first I didn’t actually go in as I wasn’t sure if they served food, and lunch breaks at work are too short (plus I eat super slow) for me to have investigated. However, I decided I had to go as I was getting more and more curious about the place. I love delis. It has a relatively small display cabinet full of stuff, but wow, olives, hams, sausages, cheese and fish! I really need to buy some stuff there. I’ve now bought their “Pa amb tomaquet” twice, which is basically a load of jamon slices on a tomato smeared baguette. That was sooooo delicious! I had to try it twice to make sure it wasn’t a once-off the first time.

In fact, I think I converted a work colleague as he went there and loved their Pepito, which was an eye fillet with egg and some other stuff. He said it was really good and also impressed that they served paella after 12pm. I should one day try some of that too! And maybe buy 2 slices of one of their jamons which sells for $346 per kilo or something. Oh, and also to see their mini-grocery place in the back.

In other news, I love tower defense games. They break my brain, and I bought Robo Defense for my phone too. Wheeeeeeeeee!
