As long as i have been staying in Tokyo, I m very totally sure that the Japanese
enjoy eating very2 much,just by judging from the tv programmes which 70% of them a related to food, food and food (sometimes the ingedients of making DISHES..ma its still food). For example, the one I was watching a while ago was about a reality show where groups of celebrities competing by guessing the price of the tempting dishes which were served to them.... Can u imagine,5 pieces of clam (from hokkaido-an island northen Japan) could fetch up to rm150 and a bowl of thin sliced meat(i m x sure what meat-but they looked good) is around the same price. Besides, that most of the programme are more to guidance for searching good
restaurant which are normal (like Jalan2 Cari Makan). But can u imagine about searching for bizarre restaurant serving bizarre dishes like a 2 meter tall Ice Cream, 5 kg of Frice rice serve with 2 kg of Tempuras* (fried powdered chicken,or seafood,or vege-picture above) or even 6 kg of desert with 15 tier of ice cream and pan cakes topped with a great amount of fresh cream and mix fruits, last with red cherries as well...(how can i wish i could taste them)..how to finish them up????Plus, there are always programmes related to food which are participated by
famous Japananese celebrities and..even there are American celebrities too. Its was about a group of 5 singers called SMAP,are trained to cook different type of cuisine ranging from typical Japanese cuisine to French and Chinese. Their job or task is to please the invited guest with their mouth-watering appetizer, amazingly performed main courses and finish up with sweet refreshing dessert. Everytime I watch this I would make sure I fill up my tummy before i roar the way to the convenient store and grab what ever I could get my hand on to..
Apart of that, there is this programe where a group of people, (guest of honour would be those of the celebrities) would talk about issues over dinner. !st they will have to be served with the complete course of a propper dinner(starting with apertixzer and end with dessert). Then between discussing and talking, they will comment on the dishes....like normally they would say 'owh this is damn good!' or 'Damn, this is like heaven on earth' and blar3.......
Actually there are more programmes on food on Japan's tv. Most of them are interesting though, but the worst thing is that most of them will make you want to grab something and stuff it into ur mouth..as for me, they will leave me cursing at those lucky people who have the chance to taste the heaven-on-earth cuisine...huhu..
