Monjayaki

On last Saturday, I had monja with some friends of mine who belong to same circle. I don't remember the restaurant's name, it is in Kami street. It was a first time I had monja and made it, so I was very excited. We can order our favorite three ingredients for each monjayaki. We ordered three monjayaki; the first is shrimps, squids and octopus, the second is shrimp, cheese and some slices of pork and the third is some rices, miso and noodles.




Let me tell you how to make monjayaki. First of all, we griddle some raw foods. Next, we griddle the ingredients without soup and add some sauce. After the ingredients heat through them, we make a circle like the picture. Then add the soup and mix again and again. That's all and it is easy to make monja. I want to go there again and make monja with some friends of mine. (154 words)

M.T.H #14 ~Day of the Dragon King~

“The Dragon King is afraid of the power of our books and learning,” said the
scholar. “He wants people to think only what he wants them to think. Any day he
may order the burning of the books!”

Recently, I haven’t read any books because I was busy and I can’t make time to read. So I was glad to read the series of Magic Tree House. It was a story of ancient China. I think it is one of the most interesting stories in this series which I have ever read. The reason is that there were many histories and folktales in this story. The First Emperor appeared in the story. I learned Chinese history and world history when I was high school student. So I was excited when I found the name of him. I was also excited as the Fen-Shu, the Great Wall of China and real persons of “the Weaver Star and the Cowherd Star” were appeared. I especially excited and surprised when I knew the man and woman were the base of the Weaver Star and the Cowherd Star. The next story is also world history, Viking. I’m looking forward to read it.

Party!

On last Friday, six friends of mine held a mini party at Sanae's apartment building. We had okonomiyaki and yakiniku. On that evenning, Yurie, Yuki and I prepared ingredients of okonomiyaki. It was funny because I don't make dishes with friends of mine frequently. While we were taliking, Noriko and Haruna came to us and Noriko brought her hot plate. So we started making okonomiyaki. It tasted good and we tried to make okonomiyaki with some slices of pork. It was better than normal okonomiyaki. At 10:30 p.m., Haruna and Yuki went to meet Sanae. Until they came back, Yurie, Noriko and I lay down on Sanae's bed. After they were back, we started to have okonomiyaki and yakiniku. We had many them and we were enough.

My favorite places in Kumamoto

Tapioca drinks and ikinaridango are well-known foods in Kumamoto. I like them very much and I didn’t have them until I came to Kumamoto. After I knew their taste, I wanted my family to have them. So I started to find good places where they are sold. There are three places which I especially like.
First of all, I have two favorite places of tapioca drinks. One of them is TaPPie at the Shower Street. It is the first place I had tapioca drinks. TaPPie is also at Kami Street but I think TaPPie at the Shower Street is better. And it is popular among girl high school students. There are many kinds of base. For example, milk, tea, juice and smoothie. In addition, each base has various flavors. I like smoothie bases because others are drink but smoothie is like satisfactory dessert. After we ordered, we can see how to make a tapioca drink. I was surprised when I ordered a vanilla smoothie. The reason is that one big block of butter was used. I couldn’t believe it.
The other is Happy Factory near the KGU. It is popular among children. I think there are two differences between Happy Factory and the other tapioca shops. One is that we can have not only tapioca but also stick cake there. Every time I go there, I buy both of them. The other is that their toppings are different. In general, tapioca drinks have no toppings; however, some small and colorful tapiocas are on their tapioca drinks.
Secondly, my favorite place of ikinaridango is “Kamitorimanju” at an underground shopping mall in Kumamoto Bus Terminal. It is easy to find it because it is surrounded by steam. Theirs are bigger and cheaper than other shops’ and have plenty of sweet bean paste and sweet potato paste. I often buy it for my family and me as I go back to my hometown by an express bus.
These are my favorite places of tapioca drinks and ikinaridango in Kumamoto. I want to try various flavors which I have never had. Also I want to look for other places and take my family to them. (359 words)
