This is a good place to live if, like me, you enjoy food. So far, Jill and I have gleefully explored the culinary landscape from high to low–we’ve sampled everything from McDonald’s to fancy Chinese hot pot restaurants. So far, our favorite meals have been at Japanese-style Teppanyaki joints. (I know these exist stateside, but I’d never really checked ’em out.)
They’re exceptional here in every way: the food is delicious, consisting usually of beef or pork sauteed with ample amounts of garlic and hot peppers and served with rice and been sprouts; it’s cheap (typically about US$1.50 or $2.00 per person); it’s relatively healthy; and perhaps best of all, it’s cool to watch the Teppanyaki guys slice and dice work their magic.
