The new restaurant Manna (if it's still open) is an option.
In Akasaka recently, I saw a macrobiotic restaurant but I don't remember the name - sorry!

It was the technique, I'm not a fan of sweet things in general. I don't think Esaki made any mistakes, it's just that I don't personally like sweet simmered fish. I prefer my kinki grilled and salty.

Sounds scary, but I'll still give it a shot [inadvertent pun!]

After reading that review of Bear Pond - I want to go try. I don't think I even have an inkling of a clue what good espresso is, but I'm curious to find out.

They'll definitely rip you off here too!
I have to tell them where to turn (they always refuse to use the navi system!) or else it'd be much more expensive

Don't worry if you don't get the kinki - it seems that they are famous for that specific dish but it wasn't nearly my favorite.
I would have been more than happy without it, in fact I didn't really enjoy it as much as the other dishes.
Just another idea, do you have any more casual places planned?

They carry pork and 2 kinds of lamb casing. Nice people, good service.

Thanks for this klyeoh, I'll be in Penang for 3 nights over the next two weeks and I'm having a tough time finding places to eat. I'll make a point of trying this!

I just want to tell you that you are awesome.
Good luck with everything!

It's only about a 8km drive and the first 2km are just 710 or so. My guess is about 3500 to 4200 depending on traffic - which shouldn't be too bad if you're super early in the morning.
Usually, a 5-6km taxi ride costs me about 2300-2800 (after midnight!)

Looks good! Let me know if you want company.

That's funny, reminds me of when I first moved to Akasaka and I saw Birdland [jazz club] for the first time.
I thought to myself that there is no way that this the famed Michelin yakitori place is it? It wasn't.

Tabehoudai pizza? Salvatore to boot?
I could do some serious damage there.

If you do end up in Fuchu, my favorite Ramen Jiro shop is out there.

Do some searches for foreign markets in the Gotanda area - I believe there may be a Halal market or two. Good luck! Let us know if you find anything.

My sister and her boyfriend swear by Nirvanum - for both lunch and dinner. Unfortunately, there are no good buffet or other types of Indo food in the kanda/otemachi/ogawamachi area. At least none that I like.

Sorry you had the bad stuff - I never tried the regular. Also, the chashu gohan is quite good. It's tough to put down a small pork bowl and the noodles but I always manage.
Do you work close to Nidaimae? Uncle Yabai and I work down the road and some others are just a bit farther towards the palace.

Fiesta Ole is one of the worst restaurants I've ever been to. It's completely unauthentic and poor quality.
I've never heard of a restaurant like that being considered 'authentic'.

I second (or third) Kururi - I really love it - along with Nidaimae Tsujita.

The people in charge at Amrta are quit nice as well, some local bar owners took me there one night for post-birthday celebrations.

My sister claims the black bean natto is much milder than run-of-the mill varieties, it's the only kind she actually enjoys eating. Give that a try, but don't forget to add soy, ginger and green onions!
Chowhound Post
Next time see if they have the chicken wing confit - very delicious! But it seems they're often sold out - good luck.

No one except for me :-)
Sometimes I get a hankering and grab two for a quick lunch.

What about Tokyo's Joe Shanghai? One opened in Ikebukuro a short time ago.

I'll be heading back in June when my mother is town to give it another try, the assistant food and beverage manager there was very understanding when I shared my thoughts with him.

I don't know how hot, but this just showed up on my brother's Google buzz.
