A typical lunch at Andrew + Japan = Awesome



A typical lunch

Mum always asks me what sort of food I’m eating, and it’s hard to describe. My main meal here is my lunch, which I have at dinner time. So a typical day will be toast at 11 or so for breakfast, then lunch at around 4.30, then dinner at around 10. Lunch is normally the biggest meal.

Luckily for me, under the Nova at Flowertown is a large food court, it has a supermarket with loads of lunch food, a McDonalds, a curry place, an okonomiyaki place, and a number of other food outlets. One of my favourite places to get lunch is a little shop that sells bentos for reasonable prices. So my lunch most days looks like this:

IMGP0380

A lunch like that costs 400 yen (~$4 NZD), is served hot, and is ready within minutes. Going clockwise from the rice we have, a large portion of rice with a pickled item that may be a plum on it (I don’t eat that, it tastes bad). Then we have yellow stuff, which I’ve been assuming is some sort of egg thing, tastes good. Then a ball of something that’s similar to potato salad, again tastes good. The next thing is a meat I’m yet to identify with a nice cheese in it. The pink stuff is a type of ginger, tastes great. Then there’s the chicken, with some sort of spinach or something inside them, they taste good but I’m not a fan of the red sauce on top. Next up is a piece of fried chicken, good tasting. And last is a crazy carrot/onion/something… blob I guess. It tastes good, and is quite filling as a meal. Keeps me going until dinner when I just need a light snack.
