Chieriya is a cozy, very much handmade eatery. I love the atmosphere, which reminds me of Kailas Restaurant I frequented and spent hours with good cake and tea.

It was the second time I visited Chieriya, yesterday, and bought their specialty: Bahn mi, Vietnamese sandwich— mmmm yummy!!!

The lady who took our order asked me if we didn’t mind coriander leaves for the topping. I said “my son is dying for it”. The lady, handing the sandwich to us, added “I put on an extra amount of it so that I won’t be in trouble if he dies.” Naturally, the food tasted so good when me and my son ate it afterwards!

P.S. Their ginger ale is also good!

Le Petit Mec is my favorite boulangerie. It is close to 鳥岩楼 where my son and I had a lunch, and we dropped in on the way back– and made a major mistake. (You will know what was the mistake, when seeing the photo below.)

At Toriiwaro (鳥岩楼), a chicken food restaurant, in the Nishijin district, Kyoto, my son and I had a lunch– Oyako Domburi (親子丼), a bowl of chicken meat and egg over rice.

Their Oyako Domburi is so good, and it’s only in the lunch menu… uh… only thing they serve from noon to two o’clock. In evening, they serve variety of dishes and hotpots, but their dinner cuisine is rather expensive.

The Oyako Domburi is inexpensive and comes with a cup of chicken bone broth, which is as good. It’s nice to eat good food on tatami mats in a Japanese style room looking down a green courtyard. No wonder the place was so crowded.

Chinese twice-cooked pork (回鍋肉) on Italian pasta… turned out good.
