Yoshino Okonomiyaki

Price: 200++

My first time trying Okonomiyaki shop in Thailand. We picked this restaurant because Saboten had a long line 555. Who wants to choose okonomiyaki as a first choice, right? It sounds like a light food, not for having a big meal together with friends. Let's see..

We ordered three pans of Oko. The first one is Osaka Okonomiyaki which the shop recommended to us but we added extra pork and noodle. The size is very small compared to the prize (around 200 baht) though they said we could have it for two persons...As most of us were guys, it didn't serve our hunger :(


After applying oko sauce and nori (seaweed in green powder), putting in a fish powder (ปลาป่น)


Lastly, put mayonese.


Serving yourself... To be honest, I didn't join this meal as I already had dinner. I tried one bite for the second pan which is plain Osaka Oko. It was a bit loose. Sem told me the first one is better as the pork was good and I think noodle will make you chew more tasty.


The third one is negi pork or pork with spring onion (ต้นหอม). A combination of pork and negi were matched..that was my friend said.

Beer ordered this menu.. Fried chicken soft bone (ข้อไก่ทอด...คัยรู้ภาษาอังกฤษบอกด้วย)

Oh I almost forgot to say that they fried all okonomiyaki for us. We just add topping and sauce by ourselves.

Try Tsukemen again back-to-back after yesterday ^^"

This is not mine. Just a simple Tonkotsu Ramen. No comment :)

Croquette.. a bit unusual for me as I normally order Karaake.

Here it comes.. Tsukemen with a soup of spicy level 3. Not spicy enough for me. The outstanding material is of coz sesame. They even has sesame bottle for sesame lovers to add extra.

The noodle was ok. I like that it comes together with many vegetables unlike other Tsukemen which has only noodle alone. I'm not impressed with the chachu at all. It was thick and loose. It dosn't have fatty portion of the pork.

Yamagishi Ramen

Date: October 2, 2010

Place: K-Village, Gourmet Market Zone 2nd floor, Bangkok, Thailand

Who: F

Price: 200++

I discovered this shop during my Japanese food research for my Tokyo trip next year. I would like to try Tsukemen in Tokyo and Taishoken is believed to be the original Tsukemen in Tokyo. Yamagishi is its chain store in foreign country.

Welcome drink is iced water

The karaake here is so yummy. Its sauce is sour, salty, and tasty! The combination of fried chicken and sauce was very matched.

Our main dish, Tsukemen! We ordered special Tsukemen in a medium size.

The taste is slightly different from general Tonkotsu Ramen. It has a sour taste like it was made of lemon or something...I don't know. It is not too conc so we can eat together with Ramen as a soup. Shashu is ok. Not bad. I didn't focus on the pork as I enjoyed having a noodle and soup.

It is worth a try! Go go!

Where: Hagi Japanese Restaurant, Sofitel Hotel Ladprao, Bangkok

Who: Sem

Price: 499++ exclude drink

We came here for lunch buffet. This restaurant is popular for Salmon. We came here with big expectation and it didn't let us down at all. The restaurant is on underground floor of Sofitel hotel.

First order was Salmon sashimi, Salmon sushi, Onigiri, California Maki, etc.

Its tempura was also good. Crispy powder and fill inside with fresh shrimp

Salmon roll and Sashimi in close up
Here is the best menu, Salmon Teppanyaki. Teppanyaki in this hotel makes it more famous than other restaurant's buffet. The raw salmon is of a high quality. Together with cooking, it came out the best salmon menu ever!
