Crab cream croquette

Crab cream croquette lunch with my BFF

Croquettes using the white sauce and boiled crab is the crab cream croquette.
This is my favorite food, but it's very hard to make. So I always eat at the diner.
We had a lunch at "Miyoshi-ya" in Nakano, Tokyo.
Famous diner in the local. Not only croquettes, pork cutlets and hamburger is also delicious.
It was also introduced on TV.
In addition, we are able to choose either of white rice and sixteen grain rice.
Of course, we chose the sixteen grain rice.

Crab cream croquette
Tomato sauce spaghetti
Cabbage shredded tomato lemon
Tartar sauce
Cold tofu
Miso soup of seaweed and deep-fried tofu
Sixteen grain rice

850 yen (about $7)

It was a very delicious crab cream croquette.
Sixteen grain rice has a high nutritional value, it is also good for beauty and health.
I like the taste than white rice. It taste like glutinous rice steamed with red beans.
Best friend ate boiled miso pork cutlet. Our stomach became very full.

Sweet and sour pork with pineapple

Sweet and sour pork with pineapple

I think likes and dislikes is divided, but I love it.
Pineapple will strengthen further sour the sweet and sour pork.
Not only delicious, pineapple is a good food to beauty and health.

The pineapple contains the digestive enzyme called bromelin.
It decomposes the proteins, reducing the burden of the gastrointestinal, enhances digestion and absorption.
The pineapple has dietary fiber-rich, vitamin A, B1, B2, C and calcium, minerals such as iron. Vitamin B1 has work to help carbohydrate metabolism, it is effective in relieving fatigue. Potassium is effective in hypertension prevention.
Vitamin C has anti-oxidant effect.
I'm trying to eat pineapple instead of sweets.

Egg soup and almond jelly is also delicious.
Because there is little Chinese cuisine that provides a sweet and sour pork of pineapple, I am sad.

laura mercier : Ambre Vanille Body Scrub

It is my most favorite body scrub.
Sweet vanilla and sensual amber (feminine and elegant) scent lasts all day.
Because it is a body scrub of natural origin is gentle to the skin.
It gently removes dead skin cells, it becomes moist and beautiful skin.
Moisturizing effect is very high.
Although I used a lot of body scrub, it is the first thing that is excellent so moisturizing effect. After washing with this scrub is all right without using a body cream.
When dry skin are particularly anxious, I use body cream only skin dry part.
I always use "laura mercier : ambre vanilla body cream".
Then I wrapped in more sweet vanilla scent, I would be very luxurious special mood.
I use body scrub about twice a week. If I use too much it will damage the skin.
Now my skin condition is very good.
So It is recommended that you use about twice a week.
