First of all, we met a lovely japaneese girl at Starbucks in Asakusa, who we just started talking to (she lived in Canada so she can actually speak English and we love it!) and decided to meet for dinner a couple of days later. That was our last evening in Japan and we wanted to have the food we liked the most; Okonomiaki. She took us to this little restaurant in a sidetreet which we'd never find on our own, and we ordered okonomiaki and something else called something-I-cant-remember-but-I-want-to-say-"monji". They actually just give us a bowl of all the ingredients we wanted, inkluding raw eggs and pankake batter, and then either they fry it on the table or they let us have a go ourselves. It was very nice and we had a lovely evnig with our new friend Nicole.
Here the waitress (or cook) is making what Im not sure what's called. It was with camenbert cheese in it and we loved it.
Yeah, clearly we eat like children since they made us wear those thingies (almost kind glad i dont know the word for that in English, smekke på norsk)
Nicole did some cooking too and, Yep, thats cotopus frying on the table next to the vegetables.
On our last day in Tokyo we woke up and there was snow outside. We pretty much just looked at eachother and agreed that it really was time to go to Thailand! On a rainy(snowy) day in Tokyo everybody has umbrellas!FASTELAVENSBOLLER
On facebook on sunday, so many people had written about these delisious buns wth wipped cream, known as fastelavensboller, on their status. As the night went on and the 100yen store 30 meteres from our hostel is open 24hours we decided around 1am that it was time to go buy buns and cream and make it ourselves, Japaneese style.
Our german friend, Felix, also enjoyed our attempt to follow Norwegian tradition.
Yeah they look pretty good! But.. sadly the cream was not very sweet, even though Assi put all her love into whipping it, that was not like norwegian cream, not even with a bunch of suger. The buns were ok though, so it certainly was a decent attempt, and it made us feel good!

Jeg er jo en stor bolle-tilhenger, så det gleder meg å se at dere gjorde et helhjertet forsøk på å bake fastelavnsboller, selv i en annen verdensdel med ukjente ingredienser for hånden! Bra jobba!
