the wacky wombat weblog

*again, another attempt at clearing the backlog of stuff that should have been posted last week.

In Japan, almost all the food isn’t spicy. And when you’ve lived a majority of your life eating spicy food, you kinda miss the zing that comes from (real, not sweet) curry and chilli. So when we heard that there was a Sri Lankan festival downtown, all we could think of was curry. haha. And we took chilli-addict Benet along.

Most interesting of all was pork curry. All this time, I’ve never had pork in curry. It was always chicken, fish, beef, mutton. I suppose mainly because most eating establishments at home try to make things halal and so no pork.

Found lots of stuff that we liked: roti, curry, tose (or as we spell it back home, tosai), samosa, wade, etc. woot! Of course it was at an inflated price of 500yen for each roti/tose. :s

Kinda strange to be eating indian food in Japan. But fun all the same. Not as spicy as we thought it might be, but still beats japanese curry rice anytime.
