back from kuching

after eating my way through the city. then again, i generally eat my way through places. isn't that awful? i can't tell you anything about the long houses and bomohs, or the orang utan sanctuary (uh i'm not really into primates, are you?) but i can tell you where to find the most delectable ko lo mee. i'd four bowls before 1pm (general lunch hour in singapore) and washed it all down with 'teh c special'. 



but before i get ahead of myself,  there are three more shanghai posts to go. in case you haven't noticed, they're scheduled to post by 9am every day. and after that, the kuching series will begin - by which time i should be in tokyo. 

actually, i don't think i'll be in tokyo, tokyo but in some far flung province for an authentic ryokan experience. no commericialised nahnsense for us - if the lao ban niang speaks any english at all, FAIL. it's a strange reverse classism where i judge the ryokan by how insular the proprietor is and with good reason! 

omakase is my new magic word. after the ryokan, it's back to tokyo for a few days but i don't foresee myself stepping out of tsukiji. such is my dedication to wholesale uni (sea urchin) and i will make an exception and eat all the otoro i can because it's just so good and so fresh and ihatemyselfforsupportingbluefinfishermen but ahh my conscience should go on a holiday too!
