Its is known as Chinatown, which is a pretty famous and touristic spot in the Tokyo area.
I ordered these assorted dumpling skewers that an old cute obaa-chan was grilling!
I got the ones on the left..
it came with 4 different kinds...
~pork shumai
~niku-man
~niku manju
~and another type of shumai (sorry I can't remember)
SUCH a good deal
Then I couldn't leave without eating the traditional sesame balls.
These things are so bad for my diet but so worth it.
These little baddies are glutinous rice cakes deep fried and coated with sesame. They are filled with ooey gooey anko (red bean paste). Perfect.
I coordinated my get-up especially for this outing:
GAHHH it was so much fun~ mainly for one reason.....
the F O O D!!!
Of course many people venture out to Chinatown for its traditional and spiritual customs of visiting the temples and festivals. It is also nice to see the beautiful scenery and atmosphere of the decorated temples and buildings.
But another big reason that I think we can all admit that the whole point of going there is for the delicious Chinese food!!!

I had to be a P I G today. I totally reminded myself of those people who get turned into fat pigs in the Miyazaki film "Spirited Away" TTATT.
Lastly I stopped by to check out where they make the Baby Star ramen snacks!
Thanks Sonoe-chan for such a fun and satisfying day!!
Im gonna go die of over-indulging my self now. Don't know if I'll see you soon.
