Note: This is a scheduled post. Alastair and I are still in Japan and will be off to HK in the next couple of days!
At my old job, JC (a colleague) and I would tally up favours that we would do for each other. We would mark up the favours on a whiteboard, and from the beginning I was waaaaaaaaaay out in front.
JC offered to take me to lunch before I left work. I'm sure it was a way to equalise the favours board but I never say no to a lunch!

We went to Horoki. During lunchtime, they do a lunch platter for $13.90. You choose rice or bread, and then you pick three items off a list of about ten items. For an extra $2 you can also have a bowl of miso soup.
I choose....

The tuna and tofu salad - discs of lovely soft tofu, flaked tuna and salad. I loved the dressing on top - a sweetish, nutty, sesame sauce.

The mini scotch fillet steak with onion sauce. Some tender beef and a bit of green!

And the salmon and spinach croquettes - deep fried mashed potato with salmon and spinach.
I think it's a great value lunch. Even though the servings of the three items are small, it's just the right amount for lunch. Everything is tasty and beautifully presented.
