It was a long day. I had lunch at 3 pm and dinner at 10pm. Should I stay up late? I have heard that I shouldn't eat 3 hours before going to bed. I don't think I can keep myself awake that late. I woke up 5am this morning.

Bento Box

My lunch should have been healthy, but it was greasy and got a high calorie because of meat. As a proof, I was not hungry when I got home. So I decide to have beer for dinner. It is just an excuse. I decided not to drink at home, but I was too exhausted today and needed something(alcohole?) to make me relax.
Let me make sure something. I bought only 3 cans of beer. Because I didn't want to get drunk and didn't want to keep some for tomorrow or the other days. I hope tomorrow will be an easy day. And I want team Japan to win tomorrow!

I made chicken broth from chicken bone, which was from a grilled chicken I had yesterday. Usually, J is in charge of this soup, but I don't have him now. I made it different from J's. My soup is more like an Asian style. I added ginger, garlic chive and wakame(seeweed). I think it was as good as J's soup.

I went to a lunch party on business today. It was good, but I am getting tired. I mean, I had steak yesterday and it was also a part of business. I can't afford to pay for fancy meals like these. I prefer having cheap food with my family and friends. Well, that's a business. I am not complaining. I enjoyed it. But I hope I won't need to have lunch with strangers tomorrow.

3:00pm Late Lunch : Japanese beef steak, a glass of water, a cup of coffee
8:00pm beer



I went to an International meat exhibition and I had a big piece of Japanse steak. The beef was juicy and tender. I was so happy because I didn't have such a tasty steak since I left Japan. I eat Brazilian beef, but I prefer Japanese beef. The steak I had was a little bit too fatty and I didn't get hungry at dinner time. So my dinner was only beer.

Sushi Guen

There are a lot of sushi restaurants in Sao Paulo, but they don't have so many kinds of fish. It makes me feel I am missing something. Sushi restaurants in Japan sometimes have fish I don't know. Sushi Guen has more kinds of fish than other restaurant and the interior looks like very Japanese. The chef is from Japan and he knows good fish. I liked Sashimi squid and sea urchin!

Ping Pong

This restaurant is famous for dim sum, but it doesn't look very Chinese restaurant. It is more stylish and fancy. I didn't expect much because I though it might be Brazilian Chinese. But I was wrong. My friend and I ordered set menu each and shared. It was not cheap, but tasty. The atomosphere was good.

I had lunch with friends. One of them married a Chinese guy and she goes to this restaurant with him often. As she said, most of the customers there are Chinese. This restaurant is located at Liberdade, it used to be called Japan town. However it is not Japanese anymore. There are lots of Chinese and many chinese restaurants. My friend picked some food and it was good and cheap. We had 5 people and shared, and it cost less than R$30 each, which is about US$15. Unfotunately, I don't know the name of each plate. I recommend you go there with bunch of people and enjoy several kinds of plates.
Boiled or steamed shrimp (There were more than 20 shirmp on the plate)
Fried rice
Spicy sour soup
Deep fried fish
