Eel and turtle feast at @yukimoto_iida — some of the tastiest wild eels ever. The suppon sashimi dish was quite hardcore, felt like a turtle anatomy lesson •

in tokyo, japan (jan’24)

little bit off the town of odowara, between tokyo and shizouka is this famous unagi shop, known for the specially farmed unagi for lunch. they accept phone reservations for unagi couple months ahead of time, or you could also walk-in relatively early to reserve a spot and wait in line for a table. we arrived around 10:15am (they open at 10am), and got seated around 11am.

their unajyu was indeed very enjoyable, unagi itself was so so plump and melts in your mouth upon each bite. really like their tare too, it wasn’t overly sweet nor too viscous, but it got slightly cloying after half the bowl because of how fatty the unagi was. the set was served with unagi innard dashi and pickles which were enjoyable also. a great unajyu lunch spot to try, worth the treck if you have onward journey plans into shizouka or en route to ryokan in the izu direction.

in milan, italy (march’24)

touch down milan and headed straight to this new-style pasta specialised shop by porto romana, love the range and diversity of pasta dishes here. generous portions and good flavours, prices are also decent. but for me i guess it lacks the heartiness and feels a bit like a tourist-centric hotspot.

the signature spaghetti with yellow tomato was refreshing, stracciatella quality wasn’t milky enough to bring out its flavour from the tomato, i thought the pink prawn tartare wasn’t also the freshest. busiate with sheep ragu really lacked heartiness and depth of flavour, but the rabbit liver ragu was interesting to eat, the paccheri pasta was also perfectly al dente.

ended with a slightly dry frangipane, but love the very light whipped mascarpone in the tiramisu. a good lunch spot to visit with a group of friends but albeit a bit of a tourist hotspot.

amazing homey milanese trattoria slightly further out of the city center. cozy space, great service and long menu filled with delicious hearty dishes.

began with some tinned anchovies and butter with bread, and highly recommend their golden fried veal brains. the batter takes away any or all the gaminess and love the batter which was light and not oily. the pickled vegetables it came with was also very tasty. for main, we got a homemade agnolotti del plin which the filling was a bit too rich and meaty, but love the butter sauce with a hint of sage. highlight was the incredible ossobuco and risotto, perfectly braised and tender, generous sauce and marrow to go with the strongly saffron risotto. the best rendition we have had this trip.

ended with a warm green apple sorta like bread pudding and a bowl of pure mascarpone cream with 2 biscuit thins. dessert can be skipped but overall a highly recommended spot i really enjoyed.

one of my favourite dinner spots in milan, a modern take on the traditional milanese classics along with a series of offal dishes which is totally up my alley. began with their daily special chutoro with a veal tendon salad, followed by some of my favourites of the day which was the tripe cooked in the classic tomato sauce and cheese, and a unique pig’s head with a cannellini bean cream to break the heaviness - a dish i highly recommend ordering.

for pastas we opted for some of their classics, the cappelleti filled with butter and cheese, topped with aged vinegar to break the heaviness, so hearty and so good. had their saffron risotto, had it before at their popup in london and so glad i’m having it again in the main restaurant which was even better than i remembered.

ended with a very special chicken heart and liver infused chocolate tart, which was strange at first but the gaminess actually worked incredibly well as a semi sweet treat, before finishing with a chocolate sable and fruit tart. a highly recommended spot when in milan, cozy hearty with a touch of innovation.

another very memorable dinner spot, quite a famous trattoria here in milan with a slight modern twist. with the name ‘trippa’ translating to tripe, one of their signature dishes are the deep fried tripes, which tasted a lot like hk-style fried fish skin, maintaining its slightly chewy texture which was very interesting to eat. another dish i thoroughly loved was their vitello tonnato, thin slices of veal with a rich but decadent tuna sauce.

we also adventurously tried their donkey tartare which didn’t taste too out of the ordinary, much like lean beef, and a soft egg with celeriac and hazelnut cream. a highlight of the meal was the very unassuming homemade tagliatelle with butter and parmesean, so simple but so satisfying, coated in a glossy cheesy sauce which was not cloying but addictive. potato gnocchi with wild meat ragu was also very very good, n’duja sauce based tripe was good but prefer the classic style with tomato sauce and cheese.

to end, decided on a really hearty chocolate cake and tiramisu to end from their list of choices. great vibes, excellent service and wine-list and homey delicious food, highly recommended spot when in milan and definitely worth the hassle for reservations.

quite a well established pizza spot in milan, sticking to neopolitan style with their fluffy crust and light dough, and known for their innovative flavours and pizza tasting during night-time.

we came for a quick lunch just to sample their dough and pizza selection. i like the dough, not anything particularly mind-blowing but very well made, with the light texture, cheetah printed crust and not a soggy base.
got the very classic margherita with bufala mozzarella which is always my go to. their botox was also really interesting, very much like a cheese on cheese pizza, with some textural additions like the parmigiano reggiano crisps which really help break apart the milky richness, but especially loved the fig jam for the touch of sweetness to draw away from the gaminess from the raw blue cheese.
