Hatahata Nabe @ Robataya

Sometimes I learn a lot from eating out.

Last Saturday, my darling and I went to an izakaya called Robataya and had hatahata nabe (hot pot). Hatahata is a fish called Arctoscopus japonicus in English. It's a local specialty of Akita Prefecture. I knew the fish called hatahata but never had a chance to try it. It was very sticky with chewy eggs X(

After I got home, I found that the eggs are called "buriko" and they are coated with sticky liquid. If you salt it, the eggs become more chewy like rubber. Interesting, right?! I found a blog that explains hatahata in detail. Please click here to learn more.

It is sunny and the temp this week is warmer than last week :D

Tomorrow is a holiday (The Emperor's Birthday), so I will come back on Thursday. Have a good day!

Arferique Shirogane

It was a super busy weekend again X( We visited 2 wedding salons this weekend since we realized we need to decide a date for our wedding by the end of the year to reserve a good date in 2010!!!

The first one was Arferique Shirogane. After looking at their webpage, we thought their pool is huge, but it wasn't! Needless to say, I think it is always good to visit the place to make sure!

On this day, there was an actual wedding ceremony. Funny but we peeped into the hall while people aren't in use.

The wedding salon was adjacent to the wedding hall, so they served us a sample dessert plate for the party. We had a plan to move over to the next salon, so it was a perfect snack! Especially for my darling! He cannot concentrate on things when he is starving... ha-ha.

The next salon was pretty interesting. We are going to visit their wedding halls on Wednesday the holiday (The Emperor's Birthday). I will write about it later when I get a chance.

Busy Monday! I already gave up to go to the GYM this afternoon. Whew...

Take care!!!

BVLGARI - Marry Me Ring

Before I forget, my darling gave me an engagement ring, which we ordered a month ago, on Friday! I chose this BVLGARI Marry Me ring because I liked this casual cute design ;)

It is hard to see but we carved our names and the date we got married :D

Thanks my darling!!!

I forgot to wear it today, though...
