You can find me lurking in one of the following locations during my days off.

Bamiyan ^[1]
[2]

Bamiyan offers a nice range of Chinese looking food and has a decent drink bar. My standard order is:

• Fried rice or Mabodofu – Sometimes both.
• Fried Chicken Bits.
• The deep fried bread covered in honey, or Hachimitsu age pan (蜂蜜揚げパン), is outstanding.

Saizeriya ^[3]

^[4]

Cheap, filling, and generally palatable Saizeriya serves as our “Monday Date” place. Last monday, we spent a whooping 1300¥, or about USD 11.59, on two orders of Doria, one mini-cheese pizza, and one foccia. Oh, and 120¥ on the drink bar. Not a bad deal. Out of all the places I visit, Saizeriya has food I can actually eat – plenty of non-fish dishes. Without fail, I still limit myself to the:

• Milano Fu Doria.
• Mini-cheese pizza.
• Spicy fried chicken.
• Garlic toast.

Bashamichi ^[5]

^[6]

Bashamichi = Saizeriya on steroids. Order:

• Peperoncino.
• Cheese pizza.
• Fried Chicken.

Coco’s ^[7]

^[8]

Coco’s revolving door menu keeps me off balance. My technique is to hit Coco’s when they are in the Curry phase. During other non-curry seasons, I just find something that looks familiar and hope it isn’t too bland.

Starbucks

^[9]

This particular Starbuck’s is my Sunday and Monday hangout. The first table on the left hand side knows me well. Starbucks only offers three beverages worth speaking of:

1. Cafe Mocha
2. Chai.
3. Hot Chocolate

No use arguing with me. “It’s turtles, turtles, turtles all the way.”
