So last night was St. Patty's day. Many of our colleagues went out drinking and partying at this Irish Bar called Molly Malone's. I didn't want to go pay a thousand yen cover and then run up more of a bill from eating and drinking. Instead we decided to go have a good, nice, hot dinner instead of eating cold stuff from the convenience store for the fiftieth time. We went to this garlic restaurant that we'd been to once for lunch with friends. The lunch menu is in Japanese, but there is some English on the dinner menu. I got the Thai style chicken and Mark got the garlic style chicken.
We sat around talking, enjoying our food, and we noticed this huge thing that someone at another table had. I thought it looked like bread filled with ice cream. We asked the lady in Japanese what it was, and she pointed to the "honey toast" on the menu. Wanting to try something new, and thinking it was full of ice cream, we ordered one huge 700 yen thing of honey toast. So this thing comes and it's HUGE as you can see by comparison to Mark in the picture. It basically was an entire loaf of toasty break soaked in honey with ice cream and whipped cream on top. It was not filled with ice cream as we had thought, it was solid bread! Now only in Japan, would I think it be a great idea to eat this huge loaf of bread for desert. It tasted really good, but I would recommend sharing it with at least three other people.
The picture on the bottom left is as far as Mark and I ate to together. The picture on the bottom right is what else Mark managed to finish off after I quit. We painfully walked back to our hotel, laughing about it the whole way, thinking, "Why did we just eat an entire loaf of bread?" hehe It was fun though.
