I always find Mexican food a little underwhelming (I've never had it on Mexico so Mexicans I apologise to you all now!) It always seems like a good idea at the time, but I never leave with that "Wow! That was delicious!" feeling. This week I wound up at Junkadelic in Nakameguro. My friend was in desperate need of a post-work pick-her-up and I needed something easy to eat as I'd somehow downed five sakes the night before in a bout of over-enthusiasm and was feeling rather delicate. Somehow we both still ended up ordering two piña coladas each but they're basically just dessert, right? 🤷🏽‍♀️ The beef burrito was kind of like a stodgy comforting mess - salty and soft and with ample relish and beans to stop you getting bored. Instant satisfaction, albeit that doesn't last that long. My main gripe was with the habanero chicken tacos special, in which they committed a cooking crime 😓 They chopped up habanero chillies with seeds and threw it all directly on the tacos 🤦🏽‍♀️ Cooking fail! I can handle a lot of spice -more than most - but this was ridiculous. My less spice tolerant friend was sweating and crying for 15+ minutes, her taste buds ruined from thereafter. When I asked the staff if the chef could honestly eat it himself, she said only a little, but the customers always say "Spicier spicier!" She just laughed, then laughed some more. She was actually very nice but the naiveté irritated me. Spice is not a macho competition. It should be used to enhance flavour, not obliterate it. Treat your ingredients with respect. Habanero is one of my favourite chillies when used well 😭

Look at this delicious, rich curry, medium-hot, filled with succulent chunks of chicken. All mine for 550 yen 💁🏽‍♀️ If you haven't been to the Egyptian deli/cafeteria Uchimura, you should get on that fast.

"I like this blurry photo I took of you. It suits your personality." - person I've met twice 😂

Beautiful wagashi, wagyu and sake from the San'in region (northern side of Tottori, Shimane prefectures). An under-visited area, it deserves more attention. I'll post some pictures from my adventures there last October. In the meantime, these food pics should convince you 😋

Why have I never been to Cent Trente-neuf for lunch before? Great French bistro. My tuna, tomato, olive quiche was spot on - flavours melded beautifully with light egg custard and a crust with the perfect amount of bite. The espresso was strong enough to blast me into the next century 🤩

Ahhhhh 🌻🌻🌻
